Located in the fertile heart of the Sichuan Basin, Chengdu is the capital of China's Sichuan province, a region historically nicknamed the "Land of Abundance" due to its rich plains.
Culturally, Chengdu is defined by its famously laid-back lifestyle, which centers around bustling teahouses where locals relax, chat, and play mahjong. It is also a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, the fiery birthplace of Sichuan cuisine, and globally celebrated as the beloved hometown of the giant panda.
