Shaqiong Village

On the Sino-Indian border of Chayu, Tibet, there is a Shaqiong village, a special tribe, belonging to an unidentified ethnic group. In the village of alternating old and new, modern houses and old grass houses are divided into two pieces, which is a striking contrast.

At the beginning of the new year, I first met the Chayu tribe on March 15, 2021. Qing 5-18 degrees (Xiachayu Town) last night. I stayed in the ancient village of Yunnan travel friends. I heard that I am going to Chayu today. I strongly recommend the Yi tribes who go to Xiachayu. Regarding the Tatar tribe, I actually learned a little bit from the Internet, listened to their recommendations, and included in the itinerary list. In Ranwu, there is public transportation to Chayu. I checked the information before departure and confirmed it, but the vehicle is from Nyingchi (Chengdu) to Chayu, and you can get on the bus in Ranwu and arrive at Ranwu at about 3 pm. The police said no, I can only belly Fei "show that you have not taken the bus, such important information is not known". [Wangchai] asked the roadside restaurant, people told me "go to the veterans restaurant, he will definitely find the car to the Chayu". dragging the luggage to the "Veterans Hotel", one asked, really have! The carpool price is 150 yuan, the same as the shuttle price. It was still early to see the time, and I had lunch at the hotel before leaving. I only added two people to the car. The driver's handsome guy was very considerate. When he saw the good scenery, he asked "Do you want to park and take pictures"? The peach blossoms that Nyingchi didn't see, on the way to Chayu in Ranwu, I saw enough. [Witty] On the way, the driver asked me if I could go to Chayu. I talked about the price. I thought about it directly and didn't toss, so I continued to pack his car. The chartered car price was 200 yuan, which was still ok. At the Veteran Hotel, the veteran provided the mobile phone number of the leader of the Tatar people, Aruzon, and arrived at the Chayu. There was a border pass checkpoint. I had done it before I left. The young border checkpoint police curiously asked "Are you coming to travel?"? Seconds later. Staying at Aruzon Family Inn, the standard room of 100 yuan, the bedding is clean, the fly in the ointment is that the water pressure is not enough and you can't take a bath. Driving to Xiachayu Township to pick me up is Aruzon's granddaughter, and she is seen at home alone during the day. Put down your luggage and go around the village. The people you meet and the houses you see are no different from ordinary mountain villages. I am a little disappointed in my heart. I have tossed all the way. There is nothing special at first sight. It was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and I still didn't want to think about it, so I ran to the yard kitchen to see if I could meet Aruzon. I really met! Aruzon, who was wearing a white cloth towel into a hat (the logo of the leader of the Tatar), was sitting on the sofa and chatting with his granddaughter. I saw me and chatted with me very enthusiastically. Talking with real people, and online legend is still a little different, I boldly confirmed the online legend to the leader. For example, he had seven wives and 23 living children, for example, he was actually very old, but looked at the actual age (he said his eldest daughter was 78 years old). I asked, "Online, you were a tribal leader

Shaqiong Village is very interesting, not too small, has its own language, but there is no culture, and it is not included in the 56 ethnic groups, becoming a special landscape on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, attracting many tourists to visit.

There is nothing special in the village, but there is a special food "hand grab" that can be eaten by appointment in advance. Commercial taste is a bit strong

The lush banana forest is a rare sight on the plateau.

Good place, good scenery, a place worth checking in
