About City:

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan and a major centre for finance, transport and communications in Western China. It is situated on the fertile Chengdu Plain, the site of Dujiangyan, one of China’s most ancient and successful irrigation systems, watered by the Min River. Chengdu is famously home to giant pandas, which live in the mountains to the west and north, making it one of the world’s fastest growing tourist destinations

Chengdu became famous for its fine brocades and satins. The city was also notable for its refined culture and display of luxury. Throughout history it has remained a great city and a major administrative centre, and it has been the capital of Sichuan since 1368. 

The city is also a major industrial centre. In the 1950s a large thermal power-generating station was built, and two important radio and electronics plants were installed by Soviet experts. A precision-tool and measuring-instrument plant was also established to serve the southwestern region.

Meanwhile, as with all ancient cities, one of Chengdu’s key challenges is to preserve its history, preventing cultural assets from being lost or misappropriated through modernization and commercialization. The City is exploring ways to raise public awareness of declining traditions and the value of Chengdu’s cultural heritage.
