Suopo Tibetan Village is located on the roadside from Kangding to Danba, dozens of kilometers away from Danba County. "Suopo" means "Mongolian" in Tibetan. It is said that a large number of Mongolians used to graze here in ancient times, hence the name. There are a total of 84 watchtowers in Suopo, which is a place where ancient watchtowers are concentrated in the whole Danba and even in the world, including the five-cornered watchtowers, and its value is self-evident. The towers are majestic and majestic against the blue sky and white clouds. They have endured hundreds of years or even thousands of years of wind and rain, wars and various tests. Mr. Ren Naiqiang, a well-known historian and Tibetan scholar in my country, described the ancient Suopo fortresses as follows: "On the slope of a mountain bend, it is not easy for outsiders to come to the mountains. The chimney forest of the Pudong factory is a great spectacle." Walking into the ancient tower, looking up, under the blue sky and white clouds, the towering ancient tower stands tall and straight in the sky, looking down and looking around, the hidden houses in the green fields and the towering ancient towers contrast with each other.

Around these beautiful scenery, there are countless moving stories and legends. Many years ago, a divine bird flew to Mount Mordo, and then turned into thousands of beautiful and charming fairies, so the bottom of Mount Mordo became a place of beauty.

The so-called Beauty Valley of course means that there are many beauties. In recent years, due to the rapid development of the country, many handsome men and beautiful women have already gone abroad to work hard, so the beauty footprints of Danba Beauty Valley are all over the world.
