Discover the southwestern part of China, Sichuan Province, a region where enchanting mountains blend with fertile plains, leading to one of the most diverse landscapes in the country. Thanks to its subtropical climate, the summers are humid, and the winters are mild with abundant rainfall which nourishes the province's rich vegetation and renowned tea plantations.

The culture of Sichuan is centered around its remarkable food culture, relaxed teahouse living, and a harmonious mix of ancient customs and modern city life. Exhibiting a more laid-back attitude in comparison to the usual Chinese temperament, locals value the simplicity of life, evident in their afternoon park mahjong games and long, spicy hotpot dinners with friends.

Yet, what truly distinguishes Sichuan is its unique cuisine, famed across the globe for its characteristic málà (numbing and spicy) flavor. Besides the culinary scene, the province accommodates 80% of the world's giant pandas, with numerous research bases providing ethical viewing chances. The Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest stone Buddha globally, is sculpted into a riverside cliff.

Your visit to Sichuan would be incomplete without experiencing a traditional Sichuan hotpot, visiting the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and wandering through the ancient streets of Jinli, where traditional crafts and street food conjure an atmospheric journey through time.
