The province of Sichuan is in southwest China. It contains many of China’s most interesting natural wonders, wildlife preserves, archaeological sites, ancient engineering achievements, museums, and ancient buildings that are of interest to travelers.  If you like spicy food, Sichuan cuisine is famous. It is the fifth largest province in the nation and embraces an area of about 485,100 square kilometers (187,000 square miles). The province is 1,075 kilometers wide from west to east and 921 kilometers wide from north to south. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is in the western part, and a drier basin is in the eastern part. Some of the eastern part of the province including Chengdu, the capital, is supplied with water from a 2,300 year old irrigation system called the Dujiangyan that is a tourist site of interest. This irrigation system helped to make Sichuan known as China’s “province of abundance.” Whether you are looking for beautiful natural scenery, to see rare animals like the pandas, to visit archeological sites with fantastic relics of ancient civilizations that were only discovered about 20 years ago, or just enjoy shopping and the cuisine, Sichuan is on of China’s best travel destinations.
