Called the Land of Abundance, the vast Sichuan has beautiful nature scenery as well as profound culture. Besides, it is the province with the most natural and cultural World Heritage Sites in China, altogether five at present, including Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic Area, Huanglong Scenic Area, Dujiangyan Irrigation System with Mount Qingcheng, Mount Emei Scenic Area with Leshan Giant Buddha, Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries.
My first visit to Sichuan was in 1984. I visited Emei Mnt as well as other famous sites. But unfortunately, I lost all pictures of those places. I managed to save some of my slides of my trip on the Three Gorges from 1984. I hope to revisit those places soon.
Sichuan countryside, like most areas of China, is beautiful. Unfortunately, it was very hazy so the photos do not do justice to the area. But you can tell you were in Yi country when many of the signs had Yi script as well.
