Cuogao Village

Located at the northeast end of Basongcuo Lake, there is a village embedded in the snow-capped mountains and green waters, where there are more than 1 industrial and cloth Tibetan families. What is different is that this village has completely preserved the traditional Tibetan houses with semi-wood, semi-stone and all-stone structures, and all the houses in the village have a history of more than a hundred years. The alleys between the villages are winding and secluded, and the Mani stone piles and prayer flags scattered in the village, as well as the surrounding snow-capped mountains, sacred lakes and ancient myths passed down from mouth, have become a rich spiritual world here. The fertile pasture wetlands provide them with a living space. Having said that for so long, this ancient village is Cuogao Village. Although it is close to the famous tourist scenic spot Basongcuo, due to its deep location and difficult roads, Cuogao Village is still rarely visited by tourists, and most of the villagers live a quiet life in this paradise-like land, continuing to write about the ancient history of Gongbu Tibetans.

Laigu Village

In Ranwu Town, basu county, Changdu, there is an original and beautiful Tibetan village-it's called Gu, a poor place.

The wind blows from the glacier, which is moist and cool. Standing here, you can see six marine glaciers, which are unique in China and even in the world. It is an excellent place to watch glaciers in China. Laigu Village is not big, and the villagers live in scattered places.
