Chengdu is located in central Sichuan. The surrounding Chengdu Plain is known as the “Country of Heaven” (Chinese: 天府之国; pinyin: Tiānfǔ zhi Guó).

I went to Chengdu two times, in 2009 and 2019. I saw a lot of changes in this city from the time of limited use of Internet to the boom of mobile payment. However, I still feel the peace of this Sichuan capital in some way. This city is the best place to eat in China as far as I’ve discovered about this country. Its surrounding prefectures led me to enjoy both nature and people of ethnic groups which has made Sichuan way more interesting than other provinces.

This city has always been my favorite place in China. I wish I would be able to return here in the future.
