Aerial photography of Danba Zangzhai

On October 9, 2025, aerial photography showed that Danba Tibetan Village is located in Danba County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. It is a village inhabited by the Jiarong Tibetan people and borders Daofu, Kangding County, and Xiaojin and Jinchuan counties in Aba Prefecture. This is a place where the Bayan Har Mountains, Qionglai Mountains, and other mountain ranges converge. It is also the source or flow path of the Geshizha River, Yak River, and the Xiaojinchuan River. It is known as the city on the top of the rock and the first city by the Dadu River. The architecture of Danba Zangzhai, formerly known as Diaolou Zhaifang, is an organic combination of Diaolou and Zhaifang. Generally, it has three or four floors, with one side equipped with a wing room. The outer edge of the top floor is surrounded by three color bands of yellow, black, and white, forming a major feature of Jiarong Tibetan Village. The exterior walls of the house are often striped with white, brown, and black circles, and painted with sun, moon, stars, and religious patterns.
