We investigate the topological and transport properties of the recently discovered valley-polarized quantum anomalous Hall (VQAH) phase. In a single layer, the phase is realized through the competition between two types of spin-orbit coupling, which breaks the symmetry between the two valleys. We show that the topological phase transition from conventional quantum anomalous Hall phase to the VQAH phase is due to the change of topological charges with the generation of additional skyrmions in the real spin texture, when the band gap closes and reopens at one of the valleys. In the presence of short-range disorders, pairs of the gapless edge channels (one from each valley in a pair) would be destroyed due to intervalley scattering. However, we discover that in an extended range of moderate scattering strength, the transport through the system is quantized and fully valley polarized, i.e., the system is equivalent to a quantum anomalous Hall system with valley-filtered chiral edge channels. We further show that with an additional layer degree of freedom, a much richer phase diagram could be realized with multiple VQAH phases. For a bilayer system, we demonstrate that topological phase transitions could be controlled by the interlayer bias potential.
