Western China consists of Tibet, Gansu, Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Guizhou, offering diverse landscapes and exotic cultures.
Dominated by sunken basins, rolling plateaus, rainbow-colored mountains, and the highest Himalayan plateaus, remote Western China – with a pure blue sky – is paradise for those who love photography and discovering routes off the beaten path.
With the lowest population density in China, Western China still manages to have 44 ethnic minorities. It's a region that's unlike the rest of China. It's also a good place for curious world wanderers to experience a variety of cultures and lifestyles.

An amazing trip to the roof of the world
The trip was made especially memorable thanks to our guide Chonzom. Her passion for her culture and the history of Tibet is palpable. She readily shared her knowledge and passion during our visits making it that much more memorable and interesting. She happily answered all our questions. Chonzom also took us to some authentically Tibetan restaurants where we were able to eat excellent local food which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Chonzom for all you did for us as a family. more
