Jiaju Zangzhai is a unique Tibetan building, where one family lives in one building. The characteristic building of Jiaju Tibetan Village sits north facing south. Some three or five are nestled in groups, and some are far away from the buildings and stand alone. The Zhailou occupies an area of about 200 square meters, more than 15 meters high, and has a stone and wood structure. The existing form of Jiaju's house completely preserves the basic characteristics of Jiarong dwellings, such as the use of original materials, the use of original technology, and the traditional and simple style. Although with the continuous development of history, some changes have taken place in some parts, but these changes have not affected its traditional style and the charm of later generations of Tibetans.
