## About Danba Beauty Valley

Danba's beauties have long been famous, and Qiongshan Village (邛山村) in Badi Township (巴底乡), known as “Beauty Valley,” is where they are gathered at their finest. Legend has it that when the Western Xia kingdom was destroyed by Mongol cavalry, many beautiful women fled from Gansu and settled here, giving rise to the internationally renowned Beauty Valley. That these beauties have continued generation after generation is likely thanks to the nourishing rivers and valleys.
