Since 2005, when Jiaju was selected by the Chinese National Geographic magazine as the most beautiful village in China, the remote tibetan village, located in west Sichuan, started to attract the most adventurous chinese tourists who are avoiding bus tours. This picture shows an overpainted tibetan house, renovated like this for the new visitors.
