Thousand Stone Castle Kingdom, Danba | Tibet, China
Thousand Stone Castle Kingdom, Danba | Tibet, China
The county of Danba is located in Tibetan Plateau in western Sichuan, China. Damba means “Rock City”, but it sounds better to call it as the “kingdom of the thousand castles of stone.” This area of Tibetan-speaking hamlets perched stunningly on 8,000-foot-high mountainsides that loom over the town of Danba, has long been a way station on a circuit through the country's southwest, which is home to some of China's most exotic travel destinations. The groups of castles are scattered around strategic positions in the valley or near villages. Towers and citadels were built hundreds of years ago, for defensive purposes and passing messages between different villages. The height of these stone-built military structures is often above 30 meters, while the tallest tower measures 60 meters in height. Looking from afar, the scene of groups of towers and castles standing in the gorgeous Danba valley is breathtaking.
Danba or Rongzhag, is famous for Thousand stone castle kingdom, with many kinds of old stone castles like watchtower, Qionglong in ancient, scattered over the county, built as early as 1700BC. The watch tower in Shuopo village is very varities. There used to be 5,000 watchtowers in Danba, but only 343 that mostly date back 200 to 1,000 years remain. Local inhabitants have a custom of adding one storey to a watchtower to mark each year of a boy's growth until he reaches 18 years old. Usually 30 meters high, Dongba's highest watchtower stands at 60 meters, with four, five, eight or thirteen corners. During Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) wars in the area that lasted for 30 years these watchtowers were a vital aspect of military defense as they could provide human sanctuary for 15 days. The height of watch tower from 16-35meters, they stand on hillsides or the top of hills. The materials for the watch tower as stone slabs for the walls, stone blocks for the foundations. Usually designed as ploygonal shapes, such as square, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon, and the best watch tower is 13-sides watchtower as a pearl in Damba area (only about 3 13-sides watchtowers in Gyarong Tibetan area). 4kinds of Watchtower are protected very well in Rongzhag: Strategic Paas, Bezcon-Fire, Village and Dwelling as its different usage.
The county varies greatly in altitude, from peaks that are as high as 5,820 meters to river valleys as low as 1,700 meters. The Big Jinchuan and small Jinchuan Rivers meet here, marking the beginning of the Dadu River. The green mountains and waters, birds and flowers, is the most brilliant pearl of Kantse. The Tibetan-Gyarong style buildings and watchtowers are surrounded by fields and orchards.

Danba, Land of Fairy Tale Villages, Sichuan, China
It was beginning to look like rain by the time we arrived in Danba, inhabited by the Gyarong (Jah-row) Tibetans. Checked into the hotel. Discovered the bathroom had the usual leaky toilets, shower and wall pipes - water dripping everywhere - but we've become inured to this.
Instead, Internet was the first priority (almost impossible to find without a guide) followed by dinner (what else). The rains came down and I began to wonder how that was going to affect tomorrow's sightseeing of Danba's fairy tale villages...
A Typical Gyarong Danba Village, China
Heavy rains the night before kept us from visiting the Gyarong village originally scheduled (landslides). Instead, we drove to a more touristy Gyarong village that had guesthouses, restaurants and huge tour buses on the road (including one that almost wiped us out).
The Gyarong people are Tibetan but dress in a completely different manner then the Khampa. It is told that the Khampa slaughtered Gyarong men in battle eons ago and took their women in marriage. The result is a half Tibetan-half Chinese mix.
梭坡古碉群 A Tower Group in Suopo Tibetan Village (China)
丹巴擁有全國最多的古碉樓,有“千碉古國”之稱,而梭坡又是丹巴碉樓最集中的地方,從遠處眺望這些高聳的碉樓,十分震撼.“梭坡”藏語意為“蒙古族”,據說古時曾經有大批蒙古人在此放牧,故名.梭坡是整個丹巴,乃至全世界範圍內古碉最集中的地方,共有84座之多,其中包括世界上唯一的五角碉,其價值不言而喻.隔岸觀碉,對面的碉樓群在藍天白雲的映襯下巍峨壯觀,一座座經受了百年乃至千年風雨侵襲,戰爭洗禮和地震考驗的古建築群仍舊傲立在河谷兩岸懸崖峭壁之間.
世界最大古碉樓群 千百年丹巴碉樓探秘│中視新聞 20180201
四川省丹巴縣，
素有千碉之鄉的美譽，
因為在當地有著世界上最多，
與最集中的古碉樓群，
但直到今日，
人們仍不清楚碉樓建造的原因，
僅能以後世眼光來推斷，
這些碉樓群的功能，
應該與戰爭有關，
可能是用來防衛與攻擊入侵者的
軍事建築。

A Fast Breakfast in Ganzi and The Road to Danba, China
The distance and day from Ganzi to Danba was one of the longer ones into the Eastern Tibetan Plateau. Many stops on very rough roads with heavy traffic. One pause was really interesting. A living Lama was giving a once-a-year speech to the locals along with prayers for good luck. The entire field was filled with the devout Buddhists praying and prostrating.
Closer to Danba, the scenery changed as we drove through a protected area with bear poachers.
