IIs this correct, 'She lives in the southwest of China, Sichuan.'?
So Sichuan is a city in the southwest of China. Is this sentence ambiguous? I'm afraid people may think the panda is from the southwest of Sichuan.
Thank you!!

They will understand it as Sichuan is in the south-west of China, but the sentence sounds a bit awkward. "She lives in Sichuan in the south-west of China" or "She lives in Sichuan, which is in the south-west of China" sound more natural :)

You are right, Helen. It is confusing.
It's fine to say 'She lives in the southwest of China'. But if you add 'Sichuan' after 'China', without any explanation, you will just confuse the listener. To be clear, you need to say 'She lives in Sichuan, in the southwest of China.'
