Tourist spots Preservation of the county's historic villages has been challenging. According to a local official, "The key to preserving villages such as Chaji ... was to convince villagers to stay and not move away to work in the big cities." Tourist facilities for visitors to Chaji "have been built on the periphery of the ancient village to retain its pastoral landscape."
