It is said that the Beauty Valley has the highest rate of good-looking girls across the country. Of all the 5,000 women of the right age, 3,000 are employed by song and dance troupes, dancing halls, and tourist restaurants in metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing.

The best opportunity to visit Danba beauties is at the annual Beauty Contest Festival, also called the Folk Custom Festival. In 2001, one gold-flower lady, two silver-flower ladies, and five pomegranate-flower ladies were selected. Since then, the beauty contest has been high on the agenda of the Danba people and government.

A large number of tourists go through the trouble of traveling a long distance to see beautiful girls in Danba, because "once in Danba, people are so happy they forget their parents." People also visit Danba for its beautiful scenery, because "once in Danba, people are so happy they forget their home."
