Who they are
The Ergong are a community of Tibetan roots inhabiting the mountainous valleys of western Sichuan Province. Although officially classified under the Tibetan nationality, they maintain a distinct linguistic identity through the Horpa language. Their culture blends devotion to Tibetan Buddhism with well-preserved ancestral traditions, keeping their villages and customs protected by the region’s rugged terrain.
