“A Land of a Thousand Tribes and Timeless Traditions”“一千部落和永恒传统的土地”
Papua New Guinea, located in the southwestern Pacific, occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and a constellation of offshore islands across the Melanesian region. Rich in both cultural and biological diversity, the country is often described as one of the last frontiers of unspoiled natural beauty and ancestral heritage.
From the bustling capital of Port Moresby — often affectionately called “Pom City” — to remote tribal villages nestled deep within the jungle, Papua New Guinea offers a striking contrast between modern urban life and ancient traditions. The capital itself, perched along the shores of the Gulf of Papua, stands as one of the largest cities in the southwestern Pacific outside Australia and New Zealand.
The landscape is equally dramatic. Towering volcanoes, pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and dense rainforests form a living mosaic of ecosystems. Adventurers are drawn to places like Mount Wilhelm, the country’s highest peak, and the legendary Kokoda Trail, which winds through rugged terrain and war-time history.
Home to over 800 languages and hundreds of distinct tribal cultures, Papua New Guinea is often called the most linguistically diverse nation on Earth. In the highlands, coastal villages, and island communities, traditional customs still guide daily life — from cooking methods and dress to ceremonies and storytelling.
This documentary captures not only the flavors of Papua New Guinea, but the spirit of its people, seen from ground level and from above — through sweeping drone footage revealing waterfalls, treehouses, and panoramic vistas of untouched nature. Filmed in 4K Ultra HD RAW, the series offers a rare, authentic view of one of the world’s least-explored culinary and cultural destinations.
Welcome to Papua New Guinea — where every village is a new world, and every meal tells a story.
