Ya'an is also known as the 'Rain City' and is the hometown of the giant panda, boasting the 'Three Wonders': Ya'an Rain, Ya'an Fish, and Ya'an Women. The core attractions include Bifeng Gorge (Giant Panda Base + canyon waterfalls, close encounters with the national treasure), Shangli Ancient Town (Ming and Qing dynasty style, an ink-wash painting of a western Sichuan water town), and Mount Mengding (the birthplace of tea culture, with thousand-year-old tea trees and tea art performances). Among the local cuisines, the Ya'an fish is tender and delicate, with the clay pot Ya'an fish being a classic signature dish; Mount Mengding tea is clear and sweet with a lingering aftertaste, while Dada noodles, Sweet Water noodles, and Yingjing Bangbang Chicken combine the spicy flavours of Sichuan cuisine with the local light taste, offering a rich array of flavours.
