chengdu travelChengdu (Chinese: 成都;pinyin: chéngdū): Located in the center of Sichuan Province, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province. Chengdu is also the hometown of the giant pandas and enjoys a long history. The city's roots go as far back as Kaiming IX, the king of ancient Ba-Shu in the Zhou Dynasty (256 BC), who started to set up the capital in Chengdu. In the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-8AD), brocades produced in Chengdu were very popular in China. Chengdu was also called the City of Brocade. In addition to its profound historical and cultural background featuring historic places of interest, such as the Du Fu's Thatched Cottage , Wuhou Ci and Wenshu Yuan , etc.. Natural beauty abounds in surrounding areas such as in the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area and Huang Long Valley (Yellow Dragon Valley) . The natural habitat of giant pandas, Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center , supports the world's only giant panda breeding and research base. Sung in the Sichuanese dialect, the 300-year-old Sichuan Opera is a major branch of the Chinese theatre and immensely popular. You can experience Ba-Shu Culture and taste the amazing Sichuan Cuisine in Chengdu. Teahouses are found in parks and other spaces, and are often no more than a collection of rickety chairs and tables. Chengdu is also the main inland access city to Tibet.
