Baiyu, Sichuan, China: A Secret Place on the Western Sichuan Plateau

Situated in the southeast of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, Baiyu County is located in the heart of the Western Sichuan Plateau, along the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, bordered by Xinlong County in the east, Batang County in the south, Janda County in Tibet in the west, and Dege County in the north, with an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, which is typical of the mountainous canyon landscapes. It is a typical alpine valley landscape. The area is named after the high-quality white jade ore contained in the territory, and is also one of the important birthplaces of the Khamba culture, which has preserved strong traditional Tibetan customs, such as the mysterious "Gao" tribal culture, unique costumes, songs and dances, and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries (e.g., Gatau Monastery). The territory has magnificent mountains and rivers, with natural landscapes such as Naiyaya Snow Mountain and Changtai Grassland, and the Jinsha River meandering through the area, which has nurtured rich biodiversity and is a natural treasure trove of plateau ecology. Baiyu blends natural wonders with humanistic heritage, and is an ideal destination for experiencing the original Tibetan style.
