Chengdu has its pandas. Each city offers much more, of course, but a visit to Chengdu without a stop at its Panda Breeding Research Center would be almost criminal. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan, perhaps one of the best-known provinces of China, largely because of its fiery regional cuisine.

The city dates back over 3,000 years and has matured into a mellow (hot cuisine aside!), charming urban center whose pace and energy is quite different from that found in Beijing and Shanghai. One of Chengdu's "firsts" is paper money; it's here where its use first became commonplace, around AD 960.
With over 3 million residents - almost 10 million in the metropolitan area - Chengdu is a big city with its share of shopping malls, high-rises...and traffic jams. Still, just a step around a corner often opens to a lush, serene park with the almost obligatory teahouse! The city's official tree is the Gingko; its official flower is the Hibiscus. You'll see plenty of these, too!
