Chengdu, Provincial capital in Sichuan, China

Located within the Chengdu Plain at 500 meters elevation, the city extends across multiple districts including Wuhou, Jinjiang, and Qingyang under subtropical climate.

The settlement, established in 311 BCE, maintained its original name throughout Chinese history and served as the capital of Liu Bei's Shu Han Empire.

The local cuisine centers on Sichuan pepper flavors, with specialties including hot pot and mapo tofu prepared according to centuries-old methods.

The city operates two international airports, Shuangliu and Tianfu, connecting Western China through an extensive high-speed rail network to major destinations.

The Chengdu Research Base practices giant panda conservation, allowing visitors to observe these rare animals in specialized breeding facilities.
