Tibetan Temple & Mountains, Western Sichuan, China
See a beautiful photograph of the golden roof of a Tibetan temple in Sichuan framed with a back-drop of snow-capped mountains.
The mountains of western Sichuan (the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) are dramatic. Sitting at the collision of geological plates, this rugged alpine wilderness - the "Alps of the East" - offers biodiversity, sacred Buddhist mountains, and remote unspoilt valleys.
