Badi Chieftain's Residence
巴底土司官寨
The Jiarong Tibetan chieftain’s stronghold deep in Beauty Valley, combining tall watchtowers and stone fortress-residences, a testament to the history of the Badi tusi chieftaincy.
The Badi Tusi was one of the Eighteen Jiarong Tusi domains of the Qing dynasty. Its residence is located in Qiongshan Village, Badi Town, and consists of multi-storey stone fortress residences and tall watchtowers that give it an imposing presence. After recent restoration, it displays the layout of a Jiarong chieftain’s living quarters, prayer hall and historical relics, and it is a provincial-level cultural heritage site. A small admission fee applies, or entry is free, with hours to be confirmed on site. Located at the end of Beauty Valley, it can be combined with a Beauty Valley hike for a half-day to full-day trip. A hired car from the county town takes about 1 hour.
