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.

An amazing tour of Chengdu with Helen
We took a trip to Chengdu and our guide Helen made it a fantastic expierence. She was knowledgable about the local areas and customised our plans throughout the day based on what we wanted to do. She helped us take good photos with the pandas and other good photo spots throughout the day. Our driver was also friendly and the car was spacious and cool. more

We are coming back to Chengdu next time
We have had a great couple of days based in Chengdu with Evan from China Highlights. We have been well looked after, being collected and dropped off at the rail station and airport.Evan was very knowledgeable at each site but was fantastic at getting us to the best panda enclosures or the best positions to see the Buddhas. He was very flexible in arranging activities and took us to some great restaurants. We found the weather in March to be just right, mild and dry, slightly overcast cloud, so very comfortable and great light for pictures. more
