Meirengu (Beauty Valley), Badi
美人谷
The heart of Danba’s “Beauty Valley,” where Jiarong Tibetan villages, terraced fields and flowering trees form a pastoral scene along the Badi valley.
Beauty Valley lies about 26 km north of the county seat, in Badi Town. From the Da Jinchuan valley, you follow the Badi gorge upstream for about 10 km to Qiongshan Village. Along the way are clusters of Jiarong Tibetan villages, highland barley terraces, prayer flags and springs. Peach and pear blossoms in spring and golden autumn leaves are at their finest. This is not an enclosed scenic area but more of a rural valley hiking route, where you can stay in village guesthouses and experience guozhuang dancing and butter tea. There is no unified entrance ticket. It takes about 40 minutes by hired car from the county town. The mountain road is narrow, so watch for falling rocks in the rainy season.
