This detailed guide is enough for you to visit the ancient towers in Suopo, Danba

1. Altitude: about 2000 meters 2. Tickets: The Ancient Diaolou Museum is free, but some other Diaolou charge 20 3. Basic information: Danba is known as the country of a thousand fortresses and the Oriental Pyramid. There are currently 562 seats, of which Suopo occupies 176. The height of the Diaowang is about 60 meters (20 stories high) 4. Route: If you want to see the 4 or 5 ancient watchtowers by the river at the foot of the mountain and go to the Ancient Watchtower Museum (the most photographed place), directly navigate to "Danba Suopo Tibetan Village Ancient Watchtower Group". After the navigation ended, we arrived at a parking lot with a tourist sign with the words "Bajiaodia" and "Wujiaodia" written on it. Continue driving upwards, there is a small shop, take the left fork and keep driving upwards, stop when you see the watchtower. You can also park your car in the parking lot at the tourist sign and walk for about 20 minutes. If you want to go to the middle of the mountain for a panoramic view, turn right after crossing the bridge, pass the intersection of Suopo Township Convenience Center, and then drive up the mountain on the cement road at the next intersection. When you reach the middle of the mountain, turn right at the signpost and stop to watch. 5. The road condition is basically cement road, but it is narrow and has many bends. 6. Accommodation and meals: all in Danba County. 7. If you want to see the 60-meter-high Diaowang, you must find a guide at the foot of the mountain, because there are too many forks in the road on the mountain, and some roads are not familiar to the locals. 8. There is also a viewing platform between the Ancient Diaolou Museum and the asphalt road opposite. You can directly navigate to the "Suopo Ancient Diaolou Group Viewing Platform" where you can look up at the ancient Diaolou group. 10:25 Sichuan live map... 9. Surprise: At the foot of the mountain, at the several towers of the Ancient Tower Museum, we met the crew of the "Planetary Research Institute" who were filming a documentary on the balcony under the ancient towers. They were accompanied by staff from the local tourism bureau. The crew consists of more than 10 to 20 people. There are also colorful forests on the mountains of the ancient towers, which will last until mid-December. 10. Best shooting location: Camera 1: The Diaolou of the Ancient Diaolou Museum On the balcony, camera position 2 is halfway up the mountain, and camera position 3 is the viewing platform of the ancient watchtower group.
