Located in the zhuokeji Tusi official village, Malkang City, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, it was founded in 1918. It was designed and built by soguanying, the last Tusi. It integrates the exquisite architectural art of Tibetan and Han nationalities. It was praised as "a pearl in the Oriental architectural history" by Salisbury, the chief editor of the New York Times, a famous American writer. It is also the story prototype of the famous writer Alai's work "dust settled" and the location for shooting the TV series. It was listed in one hundred red classic tourist attractions in 2005.

Zhuokeji Tusi official village is located in Malkang Town, about 7km southeast of Malkang city. It is located in the highland where the suomo River and xisuo River meet. It is also the intersection of the two roads from Malkang to Chengdu and Xiaojin. And it is close to the mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.

Zhuokeji Tusi official village is the largest building in malkang city. It was built in 1918 by Suo Guanying, the last Tusi, who designed and organized it. The whole building is composed of four groups of blockhouses into a closed quadrangle. The central part of the courtyard is a patio, with a single floor area of 1500 square meters.

The "lawsuit hall" in the building refers to the civil litigation, which is the essence of the personal autocracy formulated by the extremely strict hereditary level. According to historical regulations, the case was ordered to be interfered by chieftain and religious personage, so the civil case could not be tried independently. The emphasis is on mediation, supplemented by judgment.

Here is the "burning mulberry tower" of Jiarong Tibetan religious ceremony. It is said that the human and divine world can convey their mind through the smoke of cypress branches. When people have long cherished wishes or prayers, they will light cypress branches and put them into the burning mulberry tower. When they are silent and praying, the long-cherished wishes or prayers will be passed to the gods along with the smoke.

On the left side of GuanZhai stands a four-corner blockhouse connected with the West building. At the time of initial construction, there were 9 storeys and 28 meters in total. Now there are only 6 storeys, 20 meters in excess height. It is in a stable and imposing shape, not only a defensive building for the chieftain and his family to store precious materials and hide in a critical situation, but also a symbol of the supreme power, status and wealth of the chieftain.
