Xichang

In Sichuan province

Xichang is the capital of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southern Sichuan, sitting on a sunny highland plateau beside the beautiful Qionghai Lake. Nicknamed the 'City of the Moon' for its clear night skies, it is the heart of Yi ethnic culture and hosts the vibrant Torch Festival each summer. Nearby lies the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, one of China's principal spaceports. Its spring-like climate draws visitors year-round. For an international student, Xichang offers rich minority culture, lakeside scenery, a mild climate and a window onto China's space program.
