Abstract

The article focuses on Norden Camp, a rural retreat in China's Gansu province founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Yidam Kyap to offer urban travelers an immersive experience of nomadic life near a significant Tibetan Buddhist monastery. After a recent rebuild led by architect Blake Civiello, the camp features glass-and-timber cabins and communal yak-hair tents crafted with local materials and artisans. Visitors engage in traditional activities such as chanting with monks, milking yaks, attending horse festivals, and sharing meals with nomad families, while modern amenities like a riverside bathhouse provide comfort alongside the rustic setting.
