Located in the southwest of the country, the Sichuan Province is one the largest provinces in China and the gateway to Tibet and where Tibetans, the Yi, the Hui, the Han and other ethnic groups live.

Known as the Country of Heaven thanks to its world heritage irrigation system and as the Sunshine Valley due to its mild temperatures throughout the year, the Sichuan Province is also famous for its Giant Pandas and spicy food. Chengdu International Airport (CTU) is located just an hour’s drive from Dujiangyan in Sichuan, and is the fourth largest hub in mainland China with direct flights to most major North American cities and European capitals.
