This week, the vibrant Qiang New Year celebrations in Sichuan’s Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County became a global magnet for culture lovers and travelers alike! 🏮 From November 20–23, 2025, the region transformed into a living museum, showcasing 108 types of intangible cultural heritage—think fiery dragon dances, intricate embroidery workshops, and soul-stirring folk songs. 🎶
Local tourism officials report a 40% surge in visitors compared to last year, with many travelers hailing from Europe and Southeast Asia. 🌏 'This isn’t just a festival—it’s a bridge between ancient traditions and modern curiosity,' said Li Wei, a Beichuan tourism director.
For young adventurers, the highlight? Hands-on experiences like crafting traditional Qiang pottery and joining midnight bonfire gatherings. 🔥 'I’ve never felt so connected to a culture in just three days,' shared 24-year-old backpacker Emma Chen from Canada.
With cross-border flights to Chengdu increasing this month, Sichuan’s blend of heritage and hospitality is set to dominate 2025’s must-visit lists. ✈️
