Discover Mysterious Tibetan Area in Sichuan
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.

Great time in Chengdu!
What a wonderful experience. Sammi was great a great guide. She knew the city well and gave that personal touch. Pandas were wonderful, as was Jinli Street. We are very impressed with Chengdu and China Highlights made it possible. more

Experiencia Chengdu: más allá de los pandas.
Estuvimos tres días en Chengdu, y es una ciudad que vale la pena conocer. Más allá de visitar la reserva de pandas, que estuvo genial, nos programaron otras visitas súper interesantes que nos gustaron mucho: el monte Qingcheng, el Gran Buda de Leshan y el sistema de riego de Dujiangyan. Gracias Pablo por hacer de estos días una gran experiencia! more
