Of all the pretty villages in the hills around here, Dānbā’s pride and joy is Jiǎjū, 12km northwest of town and perched at the top of a multi-switchback track that winds its way up a steep river gorge. With its fruit trees, charming Tibetan stone houses and homestays, Jiǎjū's quaint architecture will suck in travellers for a day or two.
To get here, take a shared minivan (¥10) from the Bāměi end of Dānbā. A private taxi costs about ¥50 one way.
