Tanguts were Tibeto-Burman speakers of the Sino-Tibetan family. And also they might have Xianbei ancestry as well. They followed form of Mahayana Buddhism influenced by both Han Buddhism & Tibetan Buddhism.

Interesting Content Nick...

nick deserve ten time more subscribers.. all his videos are for the seriously big fan of art history.. very intelligent production.. without the condescending ''open mouth clickbait shot'' when idiots talks about China.. this video is jaw dropping.. the architecture is amazing.. somehow I missed this video.. must be very cold in the winter.. with all that pile of snow..

Stud.

Good video !!

A Russian tomb robber robbed tons of tangut scripts and relics of Xia/ hia

Do you think you can do a video about Song and Liao Dynasty and the Khitan

Where is the Hanyuan hall of the Daming Palace platform?

Thanks for sharing Nick, I will hike Mount Song tomorrow, and I will also film it, haha. Found your video as I wanted to have an idea of what to expect, great job!

Amazing channel. Subscribed. BTW, 10 days ago I visited the same places you show in this video!

Thanks. Your video seems to reflect the reality rather than propaganda. Facts are good and intellectually nutritious. ❤

Why Chinese mosque look different than Middle eastern mosque?

一个外国人，这么专业，👍

Thank you for this video. It is a really interesting documentary. In this increasingly complicated world, it's interesting to note that there have been other imperialist societies than those of the Western Europeans that have done some pretty awful things. The "ethnic cleansing" of the Western Xia undoubtedly meant the murder of millions of people and the enslavement of millions of others. The Mongols reach was long throughout medieval history, eventually extending to the subjugation and enslavement of India, before the Portuguese, French, Dutch and British.

When exiting from the mansion complex, turn left instead of right (that will lead you past the garden). You'll find a small museum housing Kong Clan's old stele collection, among which are some of the most ancient and significant pieces in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

This is so well researched and written mate. Really interesting.

How much cost about the entrance fee

How much cost about the entrance fee

Are the sights accessible by public transport?

你应该去额济纳旗的黑水城😂那是西夏最后的王族。最后被蒙古人彻底灭绝了。

Please go to "Shimao" the oldest megalithic structure as old as the Legendary Xia Dynasty (founded by Yu the Great)

TO CHINESE HIGHEST GOVERNMENT POSITION IN CULTURE PROTECTION. PLEASE PROTECT THIS AT THE MOST HIGHEST STRICT. EVEN MORE STRICTER TO PRESERVE THIS FOR ANOTHER THOUSANDS OF YEARS. 🙏🥹

Please cover the Yingxian pagoda (the original oldest wooden pagoda in China still survive).

You say nothing about Khara Khoto, which was taken by Ghengis Khan in 1226. By the way, the image you showed is not Ghengis but his grandson Kublai Khan. You spend too much time on the pagodas. You could have shown some museum items that show the culture of the Tanguts.

Nice

The Mongols hunted down the Xia people for a hundred years to avenge Genghis Khan’s death. The Xia people ran and hid for a hundred years until they crossed the Himalayas and settled in Nepal. The sherpas are the descendants of the Xia royalty. Till this day they don’t give their last names, last names are only shared when a marriage is arranged. I was at the tombs some years ago, it was the saddest page in Chinese history.

我很喜欢苏州园林，但没去过69个。你准备都逛完？

很可惜，Nick您去的时候应该已经不能登塔了吧。大约20年前，当我还是大学生的时候，我有幸上去过，这是一座非常壮观古老的宝塔，建造于辽代，令人震惊！塔里有很多鸟、蝙蝠，塔中间有粗大的铁芯木柱、铁链。各层塔檐上方的匾额也值得一看，书法浑厚隽永，蕴含非凡的古意，在此逗留犹如穿越历史回到那个朝代。

if you want to see more things about Xixia, you only choice is to go to Russia. Russia steal everything about this country .

加油，非常了不起的博主👍

这个博主厉害了

Aww man I didn’t know about this place. I would have visited when we went to Ningxia

Chinese not interested of history as they running after life and modern world. My country, people with tourists visited the old capital sites and tried keep it remain intact, anyway it will decay by times. Thailand

I get to learn about western xia dynasty when I was young from jin yong novel 天龙八部. The western xia is highly militaristic and women fight along side men but unfortunately they went against genghiz khan and was destroyed.

Wow, few people from the West knew about Xia Dynasty of China, not to mention to make a visit & video of that region.

Another wonderful video of a remote place in China off the beaten tracks. (4:41) Did not know such Buddhist architecture exists in China. It reminds one of Indonesia's famous Borobudur Temple in Central Java. How did Buddhist architecture ideas travel across space and time? Western Xia receives scant mention in high school history textbook. It exists in my imagination mainly from old novels.

I love how you provide historical commentary in all your videos, but the history was especially meaningful in this video given that the region and culture has historically (pun intended) received scant attention.

Great talking about history combining with tours!

Interesting, Nick. Thanks.

One of the enjoyment is watching the video while in bed, just before I go to sleep. It such a pleasure. Thanks Nick

Fascinating video as always Nick, so amazing

Moral of the story, don't piss off Genghis Khan. Some great pagoda shots this episode in a more open, desert landscape. Is the Mandarin spoken in the area standard?

The best-preserved Western Xia historical documents are in Russia, because when the Tsar invaded, almost everything was moved away.

Tangut script was used until the 16th century. A 16th-century Tangut inscription was unearthed in Baoding City, Hebei Province.

what happened was the Xia princess bit off Genghis dick, he died of this injury days later in a painful death. That's why there were so much hate.

THANK YOU 👍🌺💯

Great contents combining history and traveling. I thought thr last stand happened just outside Canton city at 1279. I could be wrong tho

👍

It is a shame you got so few subs. Very few went to such deep corners of Chinese history. Perhaps speed up the pace a bit and more works on the camera would help. Best wishes.
