The Jiaju ancient landslide is a giant landslide located upstream of the Dadu River, eastern Tibetan Plateau, with a volume of approx. 7.04 × 108 m3. The Jiaju ancient landslide is complex and comprises five secondary sliding bodies, e.g., the Jiaju landslide (H01), Niexiaping landslide (H02), Xiaobawang landslide (H03), Niela landslide (H04), and Mt.-peak landslide (H05). Affected by regional neotectonic movement, heavy rainfall, river erosion, and lithology, the secondary sliding bodies of the Jiaju ancient landslide are undergoing significantly different creep-sliding deformation, which will cause great damage to villages, roads, and rivers around the sliding bodies. Combined with the SBAS-InSAR method, Sentinel-1A data from June 2018 to August 2021, remote sensing and field surveys, this study obtained the Jiaju ancient landslide deformation characteristics and deformation rate in the line-of-sight direction (VLOS), slope (VSlope), and vertical (VVertical). It is concluded that the maximum deformation rate of the Jiaju ancient landslide is significant. The maximum of VLOS, VSlope, and VVertical are −179 mm/a, −211 mm/a, and −67 mm/a, respectively. The Niela landslide (H04), Jiaju landslide (H01), and Mt.-peak landslide (H05) are very large and suffer strong deformation. Among these, the Niela landslide (H04) is in the accelerative deformation stage and at the Warn warning level, and the Jiaju landslide (H01) is in the creep deformation and attention warning level, especially heavy rainfall, which will accelerate landslide deformation and trigger reactivation. Because the geological structure is very complex for the Jiaju ancient landslide and strong neotectonic movement, under heavy rainfall, the secondary landslide creep-sliding rate of the Jiaju ancient landslide is easily accelerated and finally slides in part or as a whole, resulting in river blocking. It is suggested to strengthen the landslide deformation monitoring of the Niela landslide and Jiaju landslide and provide disaster mitigation and prevention support to the government and residents along the Dadu River watershed.
