A gateway to China’s expansive West,Chengdu is the third most populous city of western China(with a population of 10 million),a major economic and transit hub for the country,and a smooth transition into the scenic parts of Sichuan province.Dating back over 4,000 years,Chengdu is the only major city in China that has kept its original name and location throughout history.It had served as the capital of China for a short time period after the fall of Nanjing in 1937.While it’s not as well-known as metropolises like Beijing or Shanghai to those from outside of China,Chengdu is actually one of the most bustling and rapidly growing cities in the country.
