Sichuan, the province in the southeast of Tibet, hosts several unique natural and cultural sites. The Wolong Panda Natural Reserve is the only panda reserve in the world providing ideal natural environment for panda (mountains, rivers and bamboo forests), and is different from the Panda Breeding Center in the capital Chengdu. The Mount Four Sisters (Siguniang Shan) has four outstanding peaks, and each of those represents a girl of the four sisters. The heights are 5355m, 5455m, 5664m and 6250m, from the eldest to youngest in turn. The highest peak Yaoguniang, the youngest girl is snow-capped all year round and still remains unconquered until today.
In 2006 Siguniang has been designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
