SICHUAN Province is China＇s secondlargest Tibetan area. It contains the country＇s largest population of the Yi ethnic group, as well as the only precinct of the Qiang ethnic minority. It is also home to China＇s world famous giant pandas. Xiaojin County is in Sichuan＇s Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. Formerly known as Maogong, this small town rose to fame after an historical event in 1935 during the Chinese civil war. It was here that troops led by the PRC＇s founding president, Mao Zedong, joined up with the Fourth Front Red Army during the Long March.
