Autumn beauty in western Sichuan

The Western Plateau in southwest China's Sichuan province is one of the most attractive destinations in the world. The landscapes here are rich in contrast and offer plenty of unique features with ethnic folklore that make this land an inimitable scene.

The Dagu Glaciers Scenic Area is located in Heshui County. It shines like a huge pearl embedded in the Dagu mountain side. The Dagu Glaciers are rare contemporary glaciers. In autumn, the heavy forests all around the snow-capped peaks turn golden as if they were deep-dyed. [Photo: Xinhuanet]

In this part of area, the autumn palette is spectacular. You can go to these mysterious villages to experience Tibetan culture and to see the amazing natural scenes on the plateau.
