Pear blossoms are in full bloom in Jikayi, a Tibetan village in western Sichuan, recently named among the world's Best Tourism Villages, attracting visitors eager to experience its natural beauty and distinctive culture.
Located in Danba county on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, the village received the recognition from the United Nations World Tourism Organization in October.
Jikayi is home to dozens of towering pear trees, some more than a century old. Beyond the blossoms, visitors can explore Gyalrong Tibetan culture, sample local cuisine and experience intangible cultural heritage, including traditional watchtower construction techniques and coming-of-age ceremonies.
