Attractions

Chengdu: When you're on the flight to the city of Chengdu perhaps you'll ask one of the passengers sitting beside you: "How long does it take to Chengdu now?" He'll answer: "When you hear the loud sound of playing mahjong, you're arriving in the city." Indeed, playing mahjong is a very popular pastime for Chengdu people, but as a provincial capital of Sichuan Province, China, it consists of various specialties like tea culture (which is quite akin to Hangzhou in eastern China), the ever famous and taste-teasing Sichuan spicy cuisine, belles and the leisurely life of its people. If you read the simple-sketched map of Chengdu you may find it looks like a roughly-knitted net for which there are many ring roads inside the city, very interesting. Chengdu is also the home of lovely giant pandas and the city of cotton-rose hibiscus.

Kangding: Kangding（康定）, to all the Chinese people, is famous as a nationwide noted song named Love Song of Kangding, which is undoubtedly considered to be the most loyal and high praise to Kangding. Ganzi Tibetan Nationality Autonomous Region is first special autonomous region after the foundation of New China, and the capital was settled in Kangding.

Litang: Litang County（理塘） located in the west part of Sichuan province and south part of Ganzi Tibet Nationality Autonomous Region is 285 kilometers away from Kangding and 654 kilometers away from Chengdu.

Shangri La

Lijiang: Lijiang is the very city suspected as the Shangri-La in James Hiltons masterpiece Lost Horizon first published in 1933. It lies in Yunnan Province in southwestern China. It has many magnificent natural beauties such as high mountains and deep valleys, snow on the mountains which never melt even in summer, and highland lakes. They will be exposed to specialized folklore of the ethnic Bai, Naxi, Tibetan and the Mosuo minorities in Yunnan. Visitors will also get chances to admire the Dongba culture of the Naxi people in Lijiang Old Town.

Kunming: Long ago, a rich man was wandering in a park of Kunming. It had been a long time for him not to go out for a breath of the fresh air. His life was just on a nonstop running wheel. He felt tired and frustrated. Then, he saw a poor ragged beggar lying on the lawn pleasantly. He felt surprised and asked :" You have nothing at all. Why are you so happy?" Then came the answer:" Don't you see the sunshine and the flowers?"
