Updated by Tibet Holidays
-------------------------
Sichuan province is still closed to foreigners who are willing to travel by overland since long time. As we got news from Chinese authority and travel agencies based in Chengdu, There is no official news when it opens.
Sichuan mainly Derge, Chamdo, Litang, Amdo overland journey is not allowing and not issuing permits. The region is not clear but as public opinion it must be due to Earthquake in 2008 and also political uncertainty.
Whatever the reason is we hope it will open soon. |
