We are doing a tour of southwest china with equipment (tent/bags/stove/etc.) and are looking for information on good places to do treks that are far away from the throngs of  tourists looking for cable cars to take them up mountains.  Our loosely planned route takes us from Lijiang to Deqin then North then East towards Chondu in a large circle with lots of detours.  Any suggestions?  We would especially like to find a place in Western Sichuan where we can do a multi-day horse trek.  thank you so much for any suggestions!
