An American Guesthouse in Sichuan

On a hillside in Tibetan autonomous region Ganzi in China's Sichuan Province (四川省甘孜藏族自治州) where a Tibetan settlement situated, a Tibetan style guesthouse recently has opened its door for business. What's unusual with this Tibetan hostel is that it is run by a young family of three from the United States.

When the couple just arrived in the relatively backward southwest region of China six years ago, it took them 14 hours to reach there from Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan. But today with newly constructed highways, the travelling time has been reduced by half. And what's so convenient is that you no longer need to carry cashes around to get a bed or a meal in this remote Tibetan area - you can use your credit card.
