In my opinion, Sichuan is the most beautiful province in China. It’s home to many national parks and hiking trails that provide spectacular and scenic views. You’ll see snow-capped mountains, golden-colored trees (in the autumn), cerulean lakes, and waterfalls during your trip.

The gateway to this part of China is Chengdu, a chill city that’s one of my favorites. Chongqing used to be part of Sichuan province but became one of only four direct-administered municipalities in the country in 1997. It’s a massive megacity that has around 30 million residents, the combined total of urban and rural areas within the municipality.

The city is also a jump-off point to famous natural and cultural attractions. This guide can help you plan your trip to both places. Getting a visa Filipinos need to apply for a visa to enter China.
