## About Ganbao Tibetan Village

The village is a typical large settlement of the Jiarong Tibetan people. The houses are built from granite taken from the riverbed. Stone houses stay warm in winter and cool in summer, and they are resistant to earthquakes, fire and water. From the hilltop you can look down over the entire village and gaze into the distance at the open snow-capped mountains.
