Overview of Sichuan

Sichuan is one of the best wildflower flower watching holiday destinations in China. Sichuan is located in Southwest China.

Sichuan is also the hometown of many garden flowers. 100 years ago, some western plant collectors came to Sichuan for collecting wonderful flowers. The most famous and successful one is E.H.Wilson.
