4Jiuzhaigou.Zhongzha Furrow Luneng Resort>100 km from downtownHighlights:In the heart of Sichuan's highlands, Aba's Tibetan culture offers an immersive journey into one of China's most authentic ethnic experiences. Here, ancient traditions remain vibrantly alive - from the morning prayers echoing through whitewashed stupas to the rhythmic kneading of tsampa in sunlit courtyards. Visitors can trace centuries of history at the Tibetan-Qiang Heritage Museum, then step into the present by donning elaborately embroidered chubas (traditional robes) to join locals in seasonal festivals. The culture reveals itself through everyday moments: sharing butter tea with nomadic herders, learning the symbolic meanings behind fluttering prayer flags, or witnessing the sacred cham dances performed by red-robed monks. This is not museum-piece culture, but a living tradition where every ritual, garment, and flavor carries the wisdom of highland life - inviting travelers not just to observe, but to participate in the enduring rhythms of Tibetan civilization.8 attractionJiuzhaigou National Park9.7
