Taoping Qiang Village


Taoping Qiang Village is located in Li County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province. It is regarded as the Mysterious Oriental Castle for its unique architecture, the tall watchtowers and fortress with the mazy old alleyways and the magical underground drainage system linking all directions.

With a long history of more than 2000 years, the village still keeps the original flavour and currently has 98 Qiang families live here. It is famous for Qiang embroidery, the multi-colored embroidered headscarfs, elaborate belts and aprons.
