Danba Hane Manor (Zhonglu Village Sunset View Spot) stands atop the highest point of Garenyi Village in Zhonglu Village, Danba, Ganzi, Sichuan, at an altitude of about 2,100 meters. Backed by Riba Longshan and Mori Mountains, and facing the sacred Mount Mordo, it is widely recognized as the prime sunset-viewing spot in Zhonglu Village. In the local language, “Hane” means “a place of breathtaking beauty”. As one of China’s first Rural Heritage Hotels, only 5 such hotels exist nationwide, and this is the sole one in Sichuan. The manor shares a heritage with the thousand-year-old Hane Ancient Site, serving as a living model for the inheritance of local cultural heritage.
Built in the traditional Jiarong architectural style, the manor features rammed earth walls, wooden beams, and watchtower elements, blending seamlessly with the surroundings. Inside, it houses local costumes, ancient wood carvings, and folk artifacts, functioning as a livable museum of Jiarong intangible cultural heritage. Its 18 guest rooms are themed around local cultural motifs such as the “Eight Auspicious Symbols” and “Four Harmonious Animals,” retaining the open layout of traditional local dwellings while combining local embroidery with modern comforts. Every room offers panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, villages, and sea of clouds, with stunning light and shadow at dawn and dusk.
More than just a scenic retreat, the manor offers immersive cultural experiences: hand-painting Thangka, printing prayer flags, and participating in farming activities to connect with the millennial Jiarong folk culture. The panoramic viewing platform is the heart of the manor. At dusk, the setting sun gilds the thousand watchtowers and villages, with smoke from cooking fires and distant mountains painting a breathtaking Western Sichuan landscape. In the morning, mist shrouds the village; at night, a sea of stars hangs low—every moment is a healing masterpiece.
The manor is equipped with a specialty restaurant, multi-functional spaces, and pet-friendly services. It provides full-house heating, free parking, and complimentary breakfast. We safeguard rural heritage with reverence and offer heartfelt service, allowing you to encounter sunsets, starry skies, and the ultimate romance of local culture in the tranquility of a thousand-year-old village, embarking on a heritage-level vacation worthy of the magnificent mountains and rivers.
