Which ethnic groups live in Sichuan province?

Sichuan province features one of the most diverse ranges of ethnic groups in China. While the Han Chinese constitute the majority of the population and primarily reside in the eastern basin region, the province is home to several other distinct groups:1

• Yi: Reside in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the southwest.1
• Tibetans: Distributed throughout the western plateau region.1
• Miao: Live in the southern mountains near the borders of Guizhou and Yunnan.1
• Tujia: An ethnic group present within the province.1
• Hui: Concentrated in the northwestern Zoigê Marsh grasslands and scattered across eastern districts.1
• Qiang: Concentrated in the Maoxian-Wenchuan area along the Min River.1

Many of these non-Han groups maintain traditional lifestyles, often combining agriculture, animal husbandry, and hunting.1
