Jiashan village in Southwest China's Sichuan province is mostly inhabited by the Qiang people, one of the oldest ethnic groups in China and called "the ethnic group on clouds" for they usually live in high altitude areas enveloped by clouds and mist. Around 50 households in the village showcase their unique culture on their walls. Sheep head, ancient dwelling and clouds are frequent motifs.
