———————-⭐⭐
Chengdu is the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Chengdu’s history dates back to at least the 4th century B.C., when it served as capital for the Shu Kingdom.
Artifacts from that dynasty are the focus of the Jinsha Site Museum. The city is also home to the famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a conservation center where visitors can view endangered giant pandas in a natural habitat.
———————-⭐⭐
Chengdu located in central Sichuan Province in China, is the provincial capital of Sichuan and one of the sub-provincial cities in China. The State Science assures Chengdu as the center of technology, business, financial and communication.
Chengdu is also the political, economic, cultural and educational center of Sichuan Province.
Home to the adorable, cuddly giant pandas and Sichuan peppercorn, the provincial capital of Sichuan, Chengdu, is undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing cities in southwestern China.
Known for its relaxed lifestyle and culture, abundance of natural, cultural and historical sights, it is indeed no surprise that the city welcomes an estimated number of 100 million tourists each year.
As one of the Chinese cities that made it to the nation’s top ten leisure destinations, what makes this “Brocade City” so special and increasingly popular?
———————-⭐⭐
Here are the reasons and a round-up of what this charming city has to offer.
Rich History & Culture
Chengdu is one of the earliest settlement in southwest, with a history traced back to 2400 years ago when the first Shu emperor built its capital here. Retaining its original name ‘Shu’ till nowadays, it has long been an important political, commercial and economic hub of Sichuan.
The province is reputed as the ‘Heavenly State’, or ‘Tian Fu Zhi Guo’ in Chinese, literally a place richly endowed with natural resources. Thanks to excellent irrigation and the abundance of mineral resources, the fertile Chengdu Plain was the center of the ancient Shu Kingdom, forming a brilliant civilization that nourished the place’s deep-rooted cultures and rich heritage.
Historical attractions such as Wenshu Monastery, Wuhou Shrine, Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage Museum, Kuanzhai Alley, Daci Temple, Jinsha Site Museum, each with its fascinating antique beauty and cultural heritage.
A trip to Chengdu wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the city’s Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, where the public will have the chance to meet and learn about Sichuan’s most iconic and lovable creature. The Research Base was opened in 1993 to further scientific studies and enhance the public’s awareness of the conservation of the endangered wildlife species.
Be immersed in the local culture and experience Chengdu’s relaxed and laid-back lifestyle. Spend a leisure afternoon sipping teas at a tea-house is an integral part of local living in Chengdu. Watch a Sichuan Opera at night and be mesmerized by the mysterious techniques of bianlian (changing faces), gundeng (rolling lamps) and tunhuo (spitting fire)!

Chunxi Road
If one travels to Chengdu for the first time, Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street is a place that should not be missed. Located in Jinjiang District, this road in a broad sense covers an area of about 200,000 square meters (2,150,000 square feet). It stretches to the east of Beixin Street, the west of Hongxing Road, the south of Zongfu Road, and the north of East Street.
The street was originally built in 1924 to connect two commercial centers, the East Street and Mercantile Corporation. After nearly 100 years of evolution, it is now not only the center of fashion in Chengdu, but also a place that brings together delicious snacks from all over the country.

Wow!
I dont know if it's just me, but the night seems to fall very fast 😀
I always love how chineses cities are always so enjoyable during the night, it's as active as it is during the days, maybe even more.
And always soo much green all around…
11:10 i though it was a butterfly, but then i saw the little character and i was like "What is this?", then my brain start working again and i remember you said something about fairies at the beginning of the video XD
24:01 the towers remember me the towaers from another city you show before… i can't remember in wich city, but they were two towers like this with lights and all, i think it's maybe in the city that they were a show with light on the surface of all the tall building near a river. You filmed it 😀
25:41 is that a little panda car in the background with the baby in it? i wonder if it's something available in the city of if the family own it :D, as it's kind of panda city too.
37:16 ah yes, i saw on news that it's the dragon boat time in China :D, i remember when you show it to us before, hope you have lots of fun 😀
48:22 this remember me Changsha, the place where there is a show with the half boat outside (you showed it many times with singers, actors and all XD)
53:49 Lego panda look cool :O, wich i could have one at home. I would love to have a Lego store in my city. i think i would try reproduce all the chinese monuments you showed me before XD
1:03:19 LOL This is soo weird… I dont even know what tothink about it XD
The malls are always soo clean :O, it's crazy.
1:18:27 WHAT IS THIIIS??? O_o, it look like a mix between a worm and a tiger…. a tiger worm ? XD. It's super long tho, goes around multiples store and all, and different level too. WOW!
1:31:58 HA HA HA XD, look like someone want to do like King Kong. XD
1:38:29 Love it, same color as Grumpy cat… Cleaning itself and Having good time. Just like all humans around Ha ha ha XD
I saw some "Were is your pant?" In this video :D, seems like they are coming back. I guess the night must be warm, and not too cold.
Thanks for the visit :D, seems like it's a very active city, specially at night. I really like how everything is an excuse to decorations and lights. All the food stand and store open during night. Everybody seems super relaxing and happy.
I can understand it's the appiest city in China, you got no stress there. If you want todo something, you can do it all day or all night, no need to hurry before something close or else, and all the decorations give lots of life and fantasy to the city.
i think some cities in the world should copy this style. Many big cities are just plain cement with no decorations or just have advertising and not proper decorations/lights.
I hope one day you could make a small pictures of a city from far, just to see how it look from a distance out of the city. it must be super big and all the light and all must give a crazy look like if teh city was some kind of giant amusement park from a distance 😀
Have good time on dragon boat party 😀 (maybe i m too late, i dont know exactly XD)
Wow what a video, just awesome.
This walk opens up my eyes to Chengdu, which I visited for half a day in 2011! Thank you!
拍的非常棒!欢迎你常来成都玩!
This is the city where J 20 comes from.
Absolutely amazing to me…
This is the country that i dreamed of

西安is the poorest city in china!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful video 😍🇨🇳❤️
Do you think Chengdu or Hangzhou is better for living? 🙂
想回家 我想回家呜呜呜呜
以前觉得成都女人还挺好看的。现在看习惯洋妞,再看这些觉得真丑。所以她们靠出奇的打扮和化妆来博彩。身材,外形,那种活力其实差远了。国外洋妞都是最基础的打扮。但魅力比这些不知道大多少。
this whole time i though china was a poor country, now i see is a rich country, regardless if its a communist government.
It's like a huge Japanese street
Ciudad artificial, dónde las hojas no respiran, ni se mueven, NO TENDRAS NADA,. PERO…… """"" SERÁS FELIZ """"
better than Singapore
建筑效果感觉比上海那几个商圈时尚新潮啊……上海这几年不知道在搞些什么
95% of Chinese city neighborhoods look like Vietnam Thailand phillipines taiwan Burma southeast Asia slums run down. Very old and dirty. Rotting. Also Chinese cities are like Russian African cities. Chinese cities are empty no stores anywhere. Just apartments and some office buildings.
I am wondering how long in the night time shops are open and the city lighted so much as if it is a day time?
1525 hours thursday 23rd february 2023 – i think walking into China is like a maze – once in there might not find the way out – ha ha xxx.X. 素娟上 xxx.X.
pathetic
Nice😋
Wow! China never fails to fascinate me💖. Wish I could visit here someday. 🥺
Chengdu is near to tibet and india borders i wish other parts were also as developed as these are.
تحيا الصين 🇨🇳 🙋♂️
晓看红湿处,花重锦官城。这个应该是描写成都最著名的诗吧。
Look at the buildings OMG these buildings are so cool and amazing
Desde o Brasil, fico admirado com a riqueza de detalhes dessas modernas cidades chinesas, todas com histórias de mais de 3 mil anos atrás. Essa modernização, num país comunista, é surpreendente, pois são totalmente contrárias aos regimes comunistas de Cuba, Korea do norte e outras. O povo é ordeiro e trabalhador. Sinceramente, é de causar inveja a maioria dos países do mundo. O povo parece-me muito feliz, totalmente ao contrário do que dizem no ocidente. Já não tenho idade para fazer uma viagem, mas assisto esses vídeos sobre quase todas as cidades da china e, é impressionante o desenvolvimento que China se encontra. Muito aquém dos países do mundo. Será o comunismo ou o povo? Da nojo viver no Brasil hoje. Só temos bandidos e corruptos. É de causar inveja ver o nível de cultura e desenvolvimento da China.
How Serene and beautiful ❤️❤️
I left Sichuan university…
Now regret 😭
เจริญที่สุด เจริญมาก ไม่มีคนไร้บ้านให้เห็นเลยครับ
Andrew Anglin sent me it's 4-20-23 It's also Uncle AH'S birthday! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Hi.. I am From India. Never seen before any other countries video like this. I see this video full. It shows Incredible development of China. I wish to visit this city. Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Namaste.🙏
Shit, chengdu looks like a time window in the recent past of the American cities, before the spooks took over demographically.
These dam’ communists have no apes looting vuiton stores and no fentanyl braindead whitetrash swarming the streets and setting up camps on sidewalks. 😂
Ive been to China several times and its the most amazing country on earth, Leader of the World without a doubt. The Chinese People impress in every way possible..
Europeans disappoint in every way possible. In Europe we have ruin and decay, however we will have cities like this in a few decades after several hundred million vibrant enrichers from africa . LOL..!!! 😁😁😁 China is the wonderful Future. 🥰
I lived here for two years a very lively city.LOTS of spiicy food.
I see similarities between Chengdu & Detroit, very modern. 😛
When I see how China has progressed, it makes me sentimental and teary-eyed. One day I will visit the motherland.
i went to cheng du but it didnt look like that
But how is it possible to have a political system Like that of China , the west call it undemocratic ? I still wonder how they can lift approximately 750 million Chinese from poverty in the last 4 decades . The urban development in China has no equals in the world . When you look at second tier cities they are beautiful , their 1st tier cities are futuristic!! How is it possible that China has biggest the industrial output as of 2023 April ? And it’s a dictatorship, they have no concern for humanity ? Abs the citizens are happily enjoying their mother land?? China has not invaded or conquered a country in the recent past ? It has technologies that are changing the way the world functions . The AI is at an advanced level in China ? When you interest your self in their 5G network , it should be at a more advanced stage than most of the Western democracies? Their scientists are very bright and innovative though china steals blue prints of Western countries ‘ , this is another discussion . In all let’s watch china they are unstoppable and they are determined to march all the way to greatness . By 2030 I want to believe China will be the biggest country by GDP…
Congratulations China from Germany. ✌️👍😀
Gretings from Serbia to chinese friends.
