High in the Tibetan mountains on the southwest border of China, lies the source of several great Asian rivers, including the Mekong. For generations Tibetan tribes have survived by working the salt wells on its riverbank. It is from these wells that a small Tibetan village has drawn its name - Yanjing meaning Salt Wells.
For over a thousand years, the villagers have lived a primitive and simple life, almost completely cut-off from the outside world. Geographically isolated, a unique culture and tradition has survived in Yanjing, exceptional to the overwhelmingly Buddhist culture and tradition typical in Tibet. The Yan-jing population is Catholic - the remaining heirs of the first Catholic mission, built some 150 years ago by European missionaries who hoped to use it as a bridgehead to head deeper into China. Until recently, only a few of the original descendents survive. Today, however, the Catholic Church in Tibet is experiencing a renaissance with the ordination of a Yanjing born priest, Fr. Lu Ren Di, who is slowly revitalising the Catholic faith in Yanjing.
