<p>Chengdu, with its various transport options to Tibet, acts as a doorway to the enigmatic mountainous region. While obtaining Tibetan visas can pose challenges, families in Chengdu can immerse themselves in Tibetan culture without leaving Sichuan. The <strong>Tibetan Quarter</strong>, near Wuhou Temple in the southwest, becomes a haven for bartering Tibetan arts, indulging in traditional dishes like yak meat, and sipping on yak butter tea.</p>
<p>Home to one of the largest Tibetan settlements outside Tibet, this vibrant city corner contrasts sharply with modern Chengdu’s chain coffee shops and high-rise hotels.</p>
<p>Roaming maroon-robed Buddhist monks add an intriguing touch to the quarter’s ramshackle lanes. The experience feels authentically Tibetan amidst the contemporary developments elsewhere in the city.</p>
