Nice places
The city of Ganzi lies in the heart of Western Sichuan and is one of the larger cities of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Situated in a vast valley, surrounded by extremely picturesque mountains around, it is another stop on the map of my motorcycle trip. I set off in the morning from the city of Litang located almost 300km south, […]
The city of Shiqu I mentioned several times in previous posts, but I have to write a little bit more about this hypnotic end of the world, because it is my favorite place of all I have visited in Western Sichuan. Not the city itself actually, because it has changed beyond recognition in eight years since my last visit, but […]

A few words of introduction. It’s quite clear to most […]
Every year in the early Spring people from all over China visit Luoping county to see with their own eyes stunning views created by blooming canola flowers. And there’s much to see as Qujing prefecture where Luoping is situated has the biggest concentrated area in the world dedicated to cultivate rapeseed alone. I can’t say for sure whether it’s true […]
Rice terraces in Yuanyang are famous scenic spot in Yunnan province. Thousands of hills which, within ages, were carved into fields earned right to be on UNESCO list. And truly exploring the whole region rewards in breathtaking views. Now it’s perfect time to visit as every cell is filled with water what creates fantastic light reflections especially spectacular during sunsets […]
Welcome to Nuodeng. Former base of long time shut down salt mine, called also one thousand year old village. A unique place for it’s original and traditional architecture boasting with long history (probably longer than mere 1000 years). Magical and peaceful.
