Danba is home to some of China's prettiest villages according to China Geographic Society. We went to one of them. Transportation to the villages is almost nonexistent. One has to hire a taxi to get there, wait and take you back. The owner of the hostel charged us 160 yuan to take us there, wait and to take us back. We arrived in the new city which is a dusty and grimey Chinese town with this river running through it.
Perched in the valley are the beautiful and unusual houses of the locals, a tribe of Tibetans. They farm the land and sell handicrafts.
There's a charge for entry and the positions are all staffed with Han Chinese. This was our guide, she's Han and not Tibetan. She's pretending to be Tibetan.
