customized 5 - 7 days package tour

Min. 6 to go

Sichuan is the largest province in the south-west, with a population displaying as much diversity as its landscape. While the east supports one of the densest rural populations in the world, the west rises in giant steps to the Tibetan plateau, where green tea becomes butter tea and Confucianism yields to Buddhism. These windswept grasslands and deep forests are home to the Tibetans and Qiang.
