Ningba Ancient Village in Xunhua, Qinghai

Ningba Ancient Village is famous for a huge stone on the river beach of the village. It is said that the Daoxi Tibetan tribe got its name because there is a tent-like huge stone in the river beach of Ningba Village. Daoxi, in Tibetan, means stone tent. Daoxi became their tribal name, and Daoxi stone became their sacred object. The Daoxi tribe originated from the Dankuhe Rongwu area in Tibet. Their ancestor, Ameruji, was a monk who was proficient in Tibetan medicine and had a deep study of Tibetan Buddhism. He was ordered by Sakya Trizin Basiba to carry the Zen stick and golden Buddha given by Basiba to Tongren to promote Buddhism, and then lived here, later proliferating into a large Daoxi tribe. Ningba Village has rare Tibetan architectural materials "green stone slabs", precious medicine village "winter spring summer grass" and other natural resources. It is the fifth batch of traditional villages in China.
