Nestled in the southern part of Gansu Province, Zhuoni County is a quiet yet culturally vibrant area within the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Known for its untouched natural landscapes—lush grasslands, clear rivers, and rolling mountains—Zhuoni is also a stronghold of Tibetan heritage and spiritual life.
Zhuoni is the hometown of Jiumei Danzen, a professional photographer whose lens captures the soul of Tibetan culture and daily life. His work has helped bring wider attention to the region’s traditions, people, and natural beauty. Through his photography, Zhuoni’s quiet charm reaches audiences far beyond China’s borders.
For travellers seeking an authentic Tibetan experience away from tourist crowds, Zhuoni offers a rare window into everyday life on the plateau—complete with folk songs, religious rituals, and a genuine connection to the land.
