Sichuan XinDuQiao Photo Tour – China
SICHUAN XINDUQIAO PHOTO TOUR – CHINA
Discover the lands that inspire the legend of Shangri-La on this adventurous road trip.
On this journey, you will travel through a breathtakingly beautiful region that spans the Tibetan regions of Sichuan. This is a land where myth and reality intertwine. The snow-capped mountains are named after gods, and where clear, glacier-fed streams tumble through forests of Mongolia.
This wonderful site has it all, culture, beauty and a taste of an alternative way of living that is an anathema to the fast paced, combative way the west has embraced. A trip to Xinduqiao is in many ways like time travel, so little has change in the architecture and life that you could be looking at Tibet from years ago. It’s a wonderful place that no one who visits will ever forget.
UNUSUAL EXPEDITION’s trips are well known for accomplishing a lot in just a few days. We basically pack a lot of content with different themes in a single trip. This workshop will be no different. Locations shoots each day are dependant on daily weather and lighting conditions.

SICHUAN XINDUQIAO PHOTO TOUR – CHINA
DAY 1 – CHENGDU
We will take a late evening flight from Singapore and upon landing, we will transfer to Chengdu Airport Hotel. We will check-in here and spend the night so you can rest up for the expedition.
DAY 2 to 6 – XINDUQIAO
Early morning, we will depart for the famous old teahouses of Cheng Du, where you will get to experience a traditional part of Chinese culture that is still alive today. Think locals relaxing in bamboo chairs as they smoke, watch TV, play cards and Majiang, whiling the day away.
We will then take a 5-hour drive to Xinduqiao. Xinduqiao is a picturesque, small Tibetan town that is famous for its plateau pasture scenery, with vivid green grassland, streams, mountains, and Tibetan counting houses surrounding it. It is often called the paradise of photographers, due to the wonderful natural light and stunning landscapes, particularly during the Autumn season.
