Sichuan, Province in southwest China
The Sichuan Basin encompasses fertile plains surrounded by mountains, including Qinling Range in north and Himalayas towards west.
Archeological findings from the village of Sanxingdui in 1986 uncovered artifacts confirming the existence of an advanced civilization dating to 15th century BCE.
The regional gastronomy centers on Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, establishing this province as one of China's eight principal culinary traditions.
The province maintains 21 administrative divisions, including 18 prefecture cities and 3 autonomous prefectures, with Chengdu serving as the provincial capital.
The Mosuo people near Lake Lugu preserve a matriarchal social structure where women lead households and inheritance passes through maternal lineage.
