Tucked away in the mountains above Danba, Jiaju is a village with typical Tibetan houses and traditionally dressed, hospitable people.
The first thing we noticed was the typically shaped roofs of the houses, with white horns at each corner, the flat roofs, and the hanging toilets, which are basically balconies with a hole in them and an enclosed dung collection pit below. Richly decorated houses everywhere, we could just imagine how dazzling this would look on a sunny day. Further up the mountain, we saw towers sticking through the fog as a humanly defined landscape. The Tibetan woman who had guided us down the mountain wished us a safe journey and we embarked our jeeps again, to move further into Tibetan territory.
