The Western Region of Sichuan, China, covering the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Ya'an, is located on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is the transition zone between the Western Sichuan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. The terrain here is complex, dominated by plateaus, snow-capped mountains and canyons, with world-class natural landscapes such as Jiuzhaigou, Daocheng Yading and Siguniangshan, etc. Jiuzhaigou, which is known as the "King of Water Scenery", is famous for its colorful pools, waterfalls and snow-capped mountains, while Daocheng Yading's "Three Divine Hills" is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist site. The "Three Divine Mountains" in Yading, Tao Cheng is the holy land of Tibetan Buddhism. At the same time, this is the core area of Tibetan and Qiang culture, with rich human heritage such as Tibetan watchtowers, Qiang embroidery and potshovel dancing, and unique highland agriculture and animal husbandry and cuisine (such as yak jerky and ghee tea) adding to the charm. Western Sichuan is both an ecological barrier and a tourist destination, combining natural wonders and ethnic customs, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the beauty of the secret land.
