Aba (Ngawa) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture is situated in northwestern Sichuan Province, the eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It neighbors Qinghai and Gansu provinces to the north. Aba is regarded as the best destination of ecotourism by world tourism experts. It retains the animal and plant resources that have been extinct in other parts of the world, such as giant pandas and dove trees. The vast grasslands, towering snow mountains and crisscross rivers constitute Aba's diverse and magnificent natural scenery.
All the tourists who have visited the Jiuzhaigou Valley are hard not to admire the dreamlike scenery presented by the mountain lakes, waterfalls, colorful forests, snow peaks, and Tibetan customs. The colorful calcified pool and rare karst landform in Huanglong Scenic Area are also unique. At the same time, the multi-ethnic people have created brilliant ethnical cultures here. Many monasteries and traditional ethnic buildings, such as Tusi official village, and ethnic festivals have been preserved. Tibetan New Year in February and March and Qiang New Year in lunar October are the two biggest festivals in the region. At that time, people will dress up, sacrifice, sing and dance to celebrate the coming of a new year.
