As for distribution, there is such thing that China is mentioned on funet.fi whilst jpmoth.org says locally Hubei. Though other websites and Y.P. Korshunov mention China, and Hubei is not far from Sichuan, so location seems ok. Vasily, I'd check just in case also Aporia potanini http://eol.org/pages/170999/overview and Aporia intercostata http://globis.insects-online.de/species&s=5654 (and some sources mention the latter as Aporia potanini ssp.).

Folks voice) Vasily, this is it. I saw it not once in nature, this red spot on its underside is very specific. And the very underside is white whilst bieti's hindwings are whole yellowish.

It seems to me Aporia hippia (Bremer, 1861) : http://jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Butterflies%20of%20China/03_Pieridae/framepage%20Pieridae.html
What you guys think?
