## About Jiaju Tibetan Village

One of China's six most beautiful rural ancient towns. Located 5 km from the county seat at an altitude of 2,500 m, it is known as “the Shangri-La of the Hengduan Mountains.” The watchtower-style houses and their eaves are red, with walls in white or natural tones, decorated with sun, moon, star and religious motifs, making for a strikingly magnificent sight. The best way to experience it is to visit or stay in a local home, try butter tea and tsampa, and feel the warmth of the local people.
