Danba Beauty Valley

Danba Beauty Valley

Beauty Valley is located in Danba County, Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, in the ancient Kham region, where five rivers—the Dadu River, the Daduhe (Big Jinsha River), the Xiaojinshajiang (Small Jinsha River), the Gesha River, and the Donggu River—converge. The handsome men of Kangding and the beautiful women of Danba are the most famous cultural sights in Garzê Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The men of Kangding are as strong as mountains, while the women of Danba are as beautiful as water. Danba, an untouched travel destination, boasts not only unique natural scenery but also simple and beautiful cultural landscapes that have yet to be fully discovered. Isn't this exactly the kind of place people dream of?

Here, you’ll find a rich diversity of natural and cultural attractions, including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, hot springs, major rivers, Tibetan villages, watchtowers, and monasteries.

Beauty Valley is not a product of imagination, but rather the result of a mystical convergence of time and space. Amidst vast fields of flowers, ancient watchtowers stand firmly, hinting at the passage of time. In Danba, you can explore burial sites dating back five to six thousand years, as well as Neolithic ruins.

Mount Moerduo within Danba’s territory is the most famous sacred mountain in the Jiarong Tibetan region. Surrounded by 65 peaks, the mountain offers breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and countless touching stories and legends are associated with these views. Many years ago, a phoenix flew to Mount Moerduo and then transformed into countless beautiful and charming women, making the area around Mount Moerduo a place where beauties abound. The most famous representative of Beauty Valley is Alan Dawa Dolma, a Sichuan-Tibetan singer who has performed in Japan.

Generally speaking, girls from “Beauty Valley,” whether living in the countryside or having left the mountains, rarely wear makeup or use elaborate clothing to adorn themselves. They fear neither the wind nor the sun, and after their hard physical labor, with just a little grooming, their charm naturally shines through, and their graceful figures are effortlessly elegant. Their naturally fair and smooth skin seems to always carry a subtle glow; their slender yet curvaceous figures seem forever graceful. Hard work does not make them coarse or misshapen—in fact, it enhances their athletic beauty. Of course, they do not shy away from more elaborate dressing—natural beauty enhanced by modern fashion further highlights their innate grace.

Danba produces beautiful women, possibly due to its geographical environment, climate, water, soil, and ethnic background. Beautiful women from Danba are often reserved by organizations across the country right after graduating from elementary school, and are spread throughout the province and beyond. The most famous part of Beauty Valley is Qiongshan Village in Badixiang, about 30 kilometers from the county seat. Qiongshan Village consists of numerous beautiful Tibetan houses connected together and can be reached by traveling up a valley for over 10 kilometers from the Badixiang Township government.
