Stockaded Village Taoping of Qiang Minority

In the morning rent a motorbike and then leave for the Stockaded Village Taoping of Qiang Minority. More than 2,000 years ago, the nomadic Qiang people moved from the adjoining areas of Shanxi, Gansu and Qinghai provinces to the Minjiang River valley in Sichuan and gradually developed from a nomadic to an agricultural society. Intelligent Qiangs made use of the nearby rocks from the mountains to build solid stone residences and blockhouses to defend themselves from invasions by other nationalities. These stone residences and blockhouses were built with neither designs nor blueprints, relying only on experience passed down from ancestors and taught by senior villagers. The entire stockaded village of the Qiangs is neatly arranged. Residences and blockhouses are scattered here and there, varying in height and in a pattern of an eight-trigram battle array. Having withstood winds and rains, earthquakes and thunderstorms for hundreds and even thousands of years, they are still in good condition. Afterwards ride to Gu’er Gou.
