Chengdu, China

Chengdu (成都 Chéngdū) is the provincial capital and largest city of Sichuan Province in southwest China.

Chengdu is on the edge of the fertile plains of the Red Basin in China's Sichuan Province. Due to its agricultural wealth, Chengdu is sometimes called the "Heavenly Land of Plenty". The Funan River bisects the city, although boat traffic, common until the 1960s, has all but vanished.
