Gonpo Cering, a cafe owner of the Tibetan ethnic group, takes customer orders in Xining, northwest China's Qinghai Province, July 7, 2019. Cering familiarized himself with the coffee culture after his graduation from college in 2012. The 28-year-old man runs a cafe in Xining, serving original Tibetan-style coffee drinks such as barley latte and yak butter americano to eager customers. Growing up in a Tibetan family on the pastures, Cering says he wants to achieve a blending of his childhood memories with the coffees and has therefore experimented a lot. "When you start up a business, it's easy to get tired, but you also feel happy about it," says Cering. "After a day's work, I fall asleep almost the moment I'm back in bed. But it makes me happy with every serving of drink that pleases the customer." (Xinhua/Wu Gang)
