Sichuan on the left, Shaanxi on the right
Seeking dreams in western Sichuan, leaving dreams of Gannan, and being obsessed with Longnan
The beauty of Sichuan lies in western Sichuan; we all know that western Sichuan supports half the sky of Sichuan’s beauty.
Not only Jiuzhai Huanglong, not only Daocheng Yading, not only Danba Lihua Miyaluo red leaves… the beauty of western Sichuan is indescribable, and it can be said to be a rare gift from heaven to the world.

Speaking of Gansu, many people will think of the yellow sky, thick soil and thousands of miles of Gobi, a scene of “the desert is solitary, the sun is setting in the long river”. In Longnan, Gansu, the mountains are high and the water is long, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and clear springs and flowing water are tinkling.
