Ganzi (or Garzê) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is located in western Sichuan province, in south central China. Perched on a plateau of the Tibetan foothills, it occupies a large mountainous area of 151,000 sq km (58,000 sq mi). The capital of Ganzi Prefecture is Kangding.
Ganzi was historically part of the Tibetan Kham, and till today, the population is made up of mainly Tibetans. Consisting of 18 scenic counties, it makes an ideal place to experience the Tibetan way of life without the hassle of entering Tibet itself.
Ganzi lives up to its nickname “Sun City” as it sports a highland valley climate, being typically cool and dry with an annual sunshine total of 2,640 hours, that’s over 7 hours a day on average! The highest temperature may reach 32°C (90°F), and the lowest -29°C (-20°F). The climate in different parts of Ganzi varies according to altitude as well.
Ganzi county is one of the 18 counties of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (not to be confused with the prefecture itself). It is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture and is 385 kilometres away from the prefecture capital Kangding. Holding a strategic position on the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line, Ganzi county acts as a commodity distribution and trade centre. It has long been the political, economic, and socio-cultural centre of the northern part of the prefecture.
In Ganzi, unlike the rest of Sichuan province which boast a diverse cuisine, there are only a few staple food. Food in Ganzi mainly retains Tibetan way of cooking, especially when you travel out of the centre and to more off-beaten paths. The dishes are often hearty due to the cold climate and the labor-intensive work.
Some of the dishes to look out for are Tsamba, Kangding jelly bean, Yak-meat dumplings, and Maiqiu smoked beef among others. Make sure to try Yak-butter tea and barley liquor (a kind of spirit made from highland barley). It is an old tradition for Tibetans to treat friends from afar to barley liquor.
