About
Labyrinth‑like stone alleys, multi‑storey watchtowers and hidden underground mountain‑spring water‑supply network are its core highlights. Old Village keeps original dwellings with local residents still living inside, while New Village offers dining and homestay services. Travellers visit for ancient‑architecture sightseeing, Qiang‑culture exploration and valley landscape photography.

- Ask permission before photographing local residents and private houses.
