2005-07-26 17:52:31      CRIENGLISH.com
"Kingdom of One Thousand Castles" and "Beauty Valley"...

                                                                    Tibetan Style Buildings

Danba is quite a place to see authentic Tibetan style buildings. Jiarong village is an example and well worth a visit. The village, like towers and castles, has a military function. The typical village building has 3 floors and the roofs are painted in black, white and yellow.

 

                   

                   

                                                                        Drinking Tea in Danba

The tea locals drink is buttered tea. Local Tibetans are hospital towards guests coming from afar, paying a visit to their homes is a good choice. The host will invite you to taste their favorite buttered tea and sometimes invite you to dinner, free of charge.

                                                                         Beauties in the Valley

                                                  

For some unknown reason, the girls from Danba are the prettiest in the region, giving the valley a nickname-"Beauty Valley." Beautiful local women in their magnificent national dresses are ideal for tourists and serious photographers alike.
