This famous, historic city is believed by some to be the oldest established city in the world. Chengdu is more than 2,000 years old. Despite raging redevelopment, Chengdu has managed to preserve the atmosphere how one might imagine China to have once been sometime in the past.

Major tourist attractions include: Temple of Marquis Wu, Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, Wang Jian Tomb, River-viewing Pavilion, River Funan -- a city mote, Baoguang Temple, Giant Panda Breeding Base, Dujiangyan Ancient Water Project, Mount Qingchengshan and Xiling Snow Mountain and so on. Chengdu has been a famous cultural centre with age-old colourful traditions of both religious and civil significance for the past 2,500 years in Chinese history.
