| An un-named Qiang Minority Village |
One of the oldest known minorities in the country with a history. The Qiang are known as "the nation in the clouds" because they live next to mountains. If you join Simfs tour, we donft take you to touristic TaoPing village, we can show you just simple life of local people. |
|
The blockhouses, rope bridges, plank roads and weirs have high artistic value. The blockhouses vary in height, and are anywhere from 10 to 30 meters (33 - 98 feet) tall, made of stone and clay. |
