Exploring Litang’s hidden gems

Exploring Litang’s hidden gems is seriously underrated! 🏔️✨ Between the laid-back charm of Letong Ancient Town and the striking architecture of Qianhu Tibetan Village, you’re in for something way beyond the standard Sichuan travel circuit.

Top Spots to Visit:

Letong Ancient Town: This spot has adorable little coffee shops, plenty of food options, and chill murals that make it perfect for wandering. It’s got a cozy vibe, ideal for slower mornings with a latte and people-watching. Bonus tip — definitely take your time browsing the side alleys for unique eats and locally brewed coffee.

Qianhu Tibetan Village: Located near Changqingchun Ke’er Temple, this area wows with authentic Tibetan-style buildings, wide scenic views, and a local culture you won’t find elsewhere. It’s open daily from 09:00-18:00, so plan to arrive in the morning for fewer crowds and softer sunlight (best for photos!). The entrance blends Chinese & Western-style architecture — bring your camera if you love outdoor cultural landscapes.

How to Get Around:
Litang is compact but taxis and local buses make it easy to hop between town center and the scenic area. Walking is totally doable, and most sights are within 2-3km of each other.

Food Recommendations:
Eat local! The coffee shops in Letong Ancient Town usually serve Tibetan-style snacks alongside espresso drinks. Try yak butter tea for a true taste of the region. Don’t skip the roadside noodles — authentic and budget-friendly.

Destination Tips:
No visa needed for most visitors to Litang if you’re already traveling in China. Weather varies — sunny days are photogenic but dress in layers because mountain weather changes fast. Bring some cash; small shops might not take cards.
