Understand

Wenchuan, located on the main route from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou National Park, has always been considered a mere stopover for tourists. However, the Qiang area surrounding Wenchuan is gradually emerging as its own must-visit destination. Journeying from Chengdu to Wenchuan has become much more convenient, thanks to the new road that reduces travel time to about 2 hours by bus. The region is less crowded compared to other popular spots in Aba Prefecture, providing an opportunity to explore off-the-beaten-track areas. If you're seeking a weekend getaway from Chengdu, Wenchuan and its surroundings offer a perfect escape
