Xiangcheng

The Xiangcheng build beautiful houses, which have white rocks on the roofs like those of the Qiang. Xiangcheng homes are square, two-story, with colorful decorations around the window frames. They are very different from the houses of their neighbors, the Khampa.

Ministry Obstacles

The Xiangcheng are fervent adherents of Tibetan Buddhism. Their beliefs form a large part of their identity as a people. Theirs is a Buddhist culture. There are numerous Buddhist temples and pagodas throughout the region. The Xiangcheng are one of the most overlooked people groups in China. Few, if any, have heard of Jesus Christ. There are no Christian communities in the region, and no gospel literature or recordings are available in their language. There is no recorded history of missionary work in the vicinity of this hidden location.
