SICHUAN, THE HEAVENLY LAND OF PLENTY

Sublime escapes

An episode from the series FLAVORS

Synopsis

Crossed by the Yangtze River, Sichuan is known as the land of the iconic pandas dawdling in its endless bamboo forests.

This mountainous region in Southwest China is also the center of a rich and sophisticated culture. Led by the much-celebrated Chengdu, its millenary cities were the cradle of the greatest poets and various Buddhist traditions.

Between its Unesco World Heritage sites and the subtle flavors of its cuisine dominated by its legendary pepper, Sichuan is the land of plenty.
