The Bamboo Sea is a scenic postcard of China. It is very shocking. The air is very comfortable, and you can also taste bamboo delicacies and ancient buildings. I have been to the Bamboo Sea, and the landforms and scenery are indeed very unique. It is the Chinese version of the Grand Canyon, but it is full of bamboo forests and rivers， caves and aerial cable cars,Hollywood movie shooting base... I suggest you go on-site to travel and explore instead of reading the critical comments of Taiwanese people online. The Bamboo Sea scenery is unique to China and is a unique scenery of China, while the bamboo forest is not. Sichuan culture is very Thick and so is its food. This is why it has fascinated Hollywood and Disney many times Disney’s new animated films, Come With My Youth（Turning Red） and The Elemental, both have a lot of Sichuan elements The MEI MEI that accompanies my youth（Turning Red）, MEI MEI is the red panda of Sichuan Elemental The fire element girl inside is Sichuan pepper culture SICHUAN style Disney animation MULAN Mulan Show in Disneyland Paris 2001 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIDLiIiOpt6ehdU Mulan 2 - Groupe CGC 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PTlXeplJedf5o 1998 Mulan Parade 90S music kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3LqZ2aeM-ZgZI Mulan 2 BGM music kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV7EhX-EgZ52pcU Mulan 2 ICE SHOW 2010 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYLJamOaZtuUn8k Mulan 2 ICE SHOW 2011kzbin.info/www/bejne/q52Xq3ucrbOSf5Y Mulan II Lesson Number One Tai Chi Dance Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HXnGCHiZWmmNk Mulan Parade at Disneyland 1998 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p17QeHqvrraKibc kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpnLeH-LeJ6WjKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIasaYepbs5okKM Shanghai Disney kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIS6e3iCZbKmbdU 100% worth the experience! Many bamboo sea scenic spots in Sichuan have huge beautiful scenery, delicious food, ancient towns, ecosystems, complex landforms, and ancient culture and humanity.

I can remember when I came here in 2008 for the first time I had no idea what to expect. Truthfully, I expected to be people walking with their heads down maybe even a rickshaw. But no, it was a lively place very modern. And since the time I've been here it's only gotten more modern and more incredible.
