Sichuan is a land of many guises. Outside the slick, modern capital Chengdu, the countryside is scattered with alleyway-riddled ancient villages and lost-in-time teahouses, while mist-shrouded mountains creak with old wooden monasteries.

This guide is the result of months of research by dedicated authors and local experts who immersed themselves in Sichuan, finding unique experiences, and sharing practical and honest advice, so you come away informed and amazed. This guide includes up-to- date reviews of the best places to stay, eat, sights, cultural information, maps, transport tips and a few best kept secrets - all the essentials to get to the heart of Sichuan.


Lonely Planet's China guide is researched and written by Damian Harper, Min Dai, Michael Kohn, Robert Kelly, Daniel McCrohan, Shawn Low, Bradley Mayhew, Piera Chen, Chung Wah Chow, Christopher Pitts, David Eimer
