Ya'an is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, and here is nicknamed "Rain City", which means that it often rains here, and the sky is sunny. According to meteorological statistics, Ya'an has an average of 210 rainy days per year, and an average of 7 hours of rain per day on rainy days, which can be called the most "moist" city in China.
It should be pointed out that although Ya'an has a lot of rainfall, there is rarely downpour, mostly continuous drizzle, which is called "Yayu" by locals. Moreover, the rainfall in Ya'an generally occurs at night and stops the next morning, so it does not cause much trouble to local life.
Ya'an has abundant rainfall because of the influence of the terrain. Located in the transition zone between the Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the warm and humid air flow is blocked by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, forming a continuous rain, giving the local name of "West China Rain Screen".
