"Niba" is a Tibetan transliteration, meaning "Yangpo". Niba Village is an ancient and peculiar century-old village. It faces south from the north and is built on the mountain. The clear Cheba River winds through the village. The well-decorated Mani flags in front of the village are shaking in the wind. Looking at Niba Village from afar, the houses in the village are of the same architectural format, scattered in an orderly manner, row upon row, and antique. From low to high, the layers are stacked, and the households are connected to form a tight and spectacular defensive whole. At a glance at the sturdy structure and arrogant posture, it is clear that it is the need to prevent burglars and bandits and resist invasion in the war-torn era. Especially under the blue sky and white clouds, the highland barley poles on the roof of every household are as dense as cobwebs, crisscrossing each other, adding a sacred and mysterious color to the cottage. There are twists and turns of the plank roads everywhere in the village. These plank roads are fixed by the mountain on one side and supported by countless logs on the other side, which not only solves the traffic problem of people and animals on the hillside, but also expands the Tibetan village. Effective living area, people are accustomed to drying food on these wooden racks. The residences in the small villages are very dense, and the houses are connected by walls.
