Daofu – The Last Stronghold of Tibetan Architectural Art

#discoverchina 🏔️ Daofu – The Last Stronghold of Tibetan Architectural Art

Hidden in western Sichuan, Daofu County is known as the “Capital of Tibetan Residential Art”—a place where architecture becomes a canvas of faith and craftsmanship.

🏡 A Vanishing Masterpiece
For 18 years, artisans have meticulously carved and painted their homes, creating living works of art. These houses blend sculpture, painting, and Buddhist symbolism, following strict traditional aesthetics. But with fewer young craftsmen carrying on this heritage, this centuries-old art is fading fast.

🎨 A Village of Colors
Near Lingque Monastery, the “Bengke” Tibetan houses stand like a painter’s palette spilled onto the mountainside—rich in reds, blues, and golds, forming a surreal landscape. Walk through the narrow village paths, encounter monks and pilgrims, and spin prayer wheels as you soak in the spiritual atmosphere.

✨ Step Inside
From the outside, these homes appear simple yet striking, but inside, they reveal gold-gilded carvings, intricate murals, and lavish Tibetan décor—each symbolizing prosperity, peace, and devotion.

📍 Why Visit Daofu?
✅ See one of the last surviving Tibetan architectural masterpieces
✅ Explore Lingque Monastery (built in the 17th century)
✅ Experience a hidden art form before it disappears
