Discover Mysterious Tibetan Area in Sichuan
5-Day Northern Sichuan Tour
Compared to western Sichuan which is already famous among Chinese adventurers and photographers, northern Sichuan is like a hidden treasure waiting for people to go and discover it. In northern Sichuan, you'll find the source of the Yellow River, the peaceful homeland of Tibetan and Qiang people, and one of the best-kept secrets that aren't even known to most Chinese people.
Let's explore this mysterious land on a 5-day Sichuan tour before it becomes part of the beaten path.
