Kingdom of Women

Chinese call Mosuo, a minority tribe, the Kingdom of Women. They believe it's a free-love society run by beautiful women, and a living fossil of the country's last matriarchy.

Hundreds of thousands of tourists start go to the far-flung Mosuo villages in southwestern China. They go not only for the idyllic lake and mountains, but also for sex.

Xiaoli Zhou reports on Mosuo's 1000-year-old traditions and examines the dilemma that Mosuo people are struggling with today.
