Sichuan Province is known for many things - especially the Giant Panda Bear!

And of course the Giant Panda Bear needs no introduction - it is much loved throughout the world.

Going to China?

Thinking about it?

Want some hints and tips?

Just want some information about China?

Have a look at this area of China.

I spent two years living and working in this area of China from 2005 to 2007. I have since returned for visits in late 2008 and also late 2009.

I worked with local Chinese people, travelled with them, ate in restaurants and drank in bars with them.

The Chinese people in this area are diverse, interesting and friendly.

Chinese girls and boys just love to practise their English!

There are many things I want to tell you about!

Szechuan food is so different yet delicious. Treat yourself to a culinary delight. You will never experience food like this anywhere else!

Experience Chinese Culture which hasn't been Westernised as much as Beijing or Shanghai. From Karaoke to Majhong to Chinese Opera - it is all there.

Modern China is something to see. In just a few short years modern buildings, transport systems and facilities have been built. See large modern cities such as Chongqing and Chengdu.

And for a quieter time, visit breathtaking country areas such as Jiuzhaigou.

Or do both. It is all there!

Sichuan Province is an amazing place.

If you want to find out more, please look through my site.

I have also included some places very close to Sichuan - Xian and Lijiang. They are easily accessible from the major cities - Chengdu and Chongqing.
