Information about Xichang

Located in the southwest of Sichuan Province, the capital of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Xichang, is more than 400 kilometers from Chengdu. Featuring little rainfall all year round, the area has attracted the Chinese aerospace industry to position a launch center here. Travelers to the area can also visit Qionghai Lake and Mount Luojie. The Yi Torch Festival is also a traditional attraction for visitors.
