Chengdu (Chinese: 成都), known formerly as Chengtu, is the capital of Sichuan province, of Southwest China, maintaining sub-provincial administrative status. Chengdu is also one of the most important economic centres, transportation and communication hubs in Western China. According to the 2007 Public Appraisal for Best Chinese Cities for Investment, Chengdu was chosen as one of the top ten cities to invest in out of a total of 280 urban centers in China.
More than four thousand years ago, the prehistorical Bronze Age culture of Jinsha (Chinese: 金沙; pinyin: Jīnshā) established itself in this region. The fertile Chengdu Plain, on which Chengdu is located, is called Tianfuzhi guo (simplified Chinese: 天府之国; pinyin: Tiānfǔzhi Guó) in Chinese, which literally means "the country of heaven", or more often seen translated as "the Land of Abundance". It was recently named China's 4th-most livable city by China Daily.(From Wikipedia)

  • @bobojr456 Agree

  • how can for an example some foreigner find a job in chengdu if he would want to find one?

  • chengdu is very beatiful which is the largest city in west of china! i love chengdu!

  • As much as I love Chengdu, this video leaves me a little skeptical about its authenticity. Aside from the sunny weather, which is plausible because the camera man could be out shooting only on sunny days, the amount of cars on the road and the numerous greenery leaves me surprised. Chengdu is very populated, and I expected much more congestion. The coloring of the city must also have been modified.

  • Copycat……

  • I used to live right by the Huanhuaxi Park...aww old memories

  • i gotta say ive never seen the skies this clear there...

  • chengdu in 2008?
