Introduction

Chengdu, the capital of southwestern Sichuan Province, is famous for being the home of cute giant pandas. Located west of the Sichuan Basin and in the center of the Chengdu Plain, the city covers a total area of 12.3 square kilometers (4,749 square miles) with a population of more than 11 million.
Benefiting from a Dujiangyan irrigation project that was built in 256 BC, Sichuan Province is considered the heavenly state, Tian Fu Zhi Guo in Chinese, literally a place rich in natural resources. Chengdu, as a capital, is extremely productive. The Min and Tuo rivers, two branches of the Yangtze River, connected to 40 other rivers, provide an irrigation area of more than 700 square kilometers (270.27 square miles) with 150-180 million kilowatts of water. Composed of abundant mineral resources, the land is extremely fertile.
In Chengdu, there are many historical sites to visit, such as the Sanxingdui Ruins Museum, Qingyang Palace and Qingcheng Mountain that will be of interest to history buffs. In addition, you can sip tea or sip a spicy Sichuan hot dish while observing locals.
