This was an interesting one! Tim and I went on another trip - this time up into northern Sichuan - the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Region - called A'ba in Chinese. We went there to visit this place - the 桃坪羌寨 - Taoping Qiang Village - a mountain stronghold built to protect against Tibetan invaders (among others). It has a history of over 2,000 years, so it's a real, legitimate, historic, and authentic ancient town / village in China. They're getting harder and harder to find nowadays. Ancient towns and villages are disappearing and being lost to "progress."
After this, we headed up to Bipenggou (Bipeng Valley) - you'll see more in the next video! It's a beautiful place!

Visiting the Bamboo Sea in Yibin, Sichuan | Traveling in China | Hidden ...

A couple of friends and I visited the Bamboo Sea, a scenic spot just outside of Yibin, Sichuan, China. It's a fairly well-known place here in Sichuan, but not really anywhere else. It's a pretty local spot!
It's A LOT of bamboo all clumped together all over the mountains of Yibin - but it's not just that. There's climbing, hiking, (possibly) ancient temples / places of worship, waterfalls, and more! It's quite a sight to see, and it's not one to miss if you happen to be traveling in this neck of the woods! Sichuan's a pretty awesome place - I really hope you get the chance to visit someday!
