Daju

The Jinsha River defines the setting of Daju — its steep, mountain-bound valley has shaped settlement and travel in this rural corner of northwestern Yunnan. Daju lies in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, near the wider Tiger Leaping Gorge area, where the river cuts between some of southwest China’s most dramatic highland terrain. The community belongs to a region strongly associated with Naxi culture; the Naxi are known for the Dongba writing tradition and distinctive musical heritage. Roads here follow the contours of the valley, linking small settlements with Lijiang’s mountainous hinterland.
