Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is located in the middle of Sichuan Province, in the hinterland of western Sichuan Plain, with Longquan Mountain in the east, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the south, Qionglai Mountain in the west and Qinling Mountain in the north, with a total area of 1.26 million square kilometers and a population of1.

Chengdu, with an average elevation of 500 meters, has typical basin climate characteristics. Affected by the subtropical monsoon climate, it is hot in summer, cool in autumn and warm in winter, with an annual average temperature of 16 and an annual rainfall of about1000 mm. The climate in Chengdu has two remarkable characteristics: first, it is foggy and the sunshine time is short; Second, the air is humid. So although the temperature is not high in summer, it looks sultry; Although the average temperature in winter is above 5℃, it is cloudy and humid, but it looks very cold. The rain in Chengdu is concentrated in July and August, and there is less rain and less ice and snow in winter and spring. Every year from March to June, September-165438+1October is the best season to visit Chengdu.

Chengdu is the largest land and air transportation hub in southwest China, with convenient transportation. Starting from Chengdu Railway Station, Chengdu-Chongqing, Baocheng, Cheng Kun and Chengda railway lines lead to Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei and other provinces and cities respectively. Sichuan-Tibet, Sichuan-Yunnan, Sichuan-Shaanxi, Sichuan-Qinghai, Chengdu-Chongqing and other highway trunk lines lead to southwest and northwest provinces; The highways in the province are developed, and there are many trunk lines or expressways leading to major cities in the province, connecting the highways of towns and counties, forming a dense traffic network on the Chengdu Plain. Chengdu is also the largest airport in the southwest of China, and Shuangliu International Airport is one of the largest airports in China, with 160 international and domestic flights to more than 60 large and medium-sized cities at home and abroad, ranking fourth in the country in terms of tourism throughput.

Since King Shu moved his capital here in the early Warring States Period, Chengdu has a history of more than 2,400 years, and was listed as one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities in China by the State Council. In 3 16 BC, Shu County was established after Qin Jun destroyed Shu, and its capital was Shu County. Li Bing, the prefect of Qin Dynasty, built Dujiangyan, which is world-famous and benefited from generations, making Chengdu "follow people's floods and droughts, and never know hunger", and has since been known as "the land of abundance". Chengdu in Han Dynasty is one of the five famous cities in Western Han Dynasty, with prosperous economy and developed brocade industry. The imperial court set up officials to manage the rulers here, and built the "Golden Gate City" in the southwest of the city. Later generations also called Chengdu "Jincheng". In the Tang Dynasty, Chengdu's handicraft industry and commerce developed further, and it was ranked as China's Four daming county alongside Chang 'an, Yangzhou and Dunhuang. In the Five Dynasties, Meng Changjun, the Emperor of the Later Shu Dynasty, ordered the people to plant hibiscus flowers everywhere, and the flowers in the city were colorful, so Chengdu was also called "Rongcheng".

Chengdu is an important birthplace of ancient Shu culture, which created a highly developed bronze culture as early as Shang and Zhou Dynasties. During the Western Han Dynasty, Shoufangweng of Shu County founded the first school in the history of China-Normal School. At that time, Sima Xiangru, a first-class lyricist, Yang Xiong, a great writer and Yan Junping, a Taoist priest, all came from Chengdu. Since then, many cultural celebrities have appeared in Chengdu, such as An Jie, the author of Yuefu Zalu, a famous music monograph in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Guangxian, a famous poet and painter in the Five Dynasties, Fan Zhen and Fan Zuyu, a historian in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Sheng 'an, a first-class scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and Ba Jin, a modern writer. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chengdu's culture flourished. At that time, famous poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Yuan Zhen, Su Shi, Lu You and Fan Chengda all lived here, leaving a wealth of cultural relics for Chengdu.

Chengdu tourist area is the core of Sichuan tourism, which is not only located in the center of Sichuan province, but also the political, economic and cultural core of Sichuan province. Chengdu is not only rich in cultural landscape, but also unique in natural features. As early as 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, the poet sang the famous sentence "The window of Xiling contains snow, and the door of Wu Dong Wan Li is moored".

"Land of Abundance"-Chengdu is the largest plain in southwest China, with 6 urban areas, 4 suburbs and 6 counties, with a total area of12,600 square kilometers and a population of10 million.

As one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China, Chengdu is rich in tourism resources. 1500 years ago, Zuo Si, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, sincerely called it "both cute and beautiful". Both Li Bai, the "Poet Fairy" and Du Fu, the "Poet Sage", once eulogized this unique city with infinite affection. Indeed, Chengdu is a quiet and prosperous city with profound cultural accumulation and beautiful natural environment.

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is located in the northwest of Sichuan Basin, with a total area of 1.23 million square kilometers and a total population of 9.892 million, of which the non-agricultural population is 3 1.85 million. Chengdu belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with abundant heat and rainfall, four distinct seasons, and both rain and heat are beneficial to the development of agriculture.

From the historical relics displayed in Sichuan Museum, we can see the earliest life footprints of Chengdu people: pottery ingots, bone needles, drilling methods, burning methods, tortoise shells, etc. unearthed near Qingyang Palace, which is enough to speculate that the ancestors of Shu people may have started working life in Chengdu as early as 3700 years ago. More than 2,300 years ago, the ancient Shu Wang Mingkai IX moved the capital from today's Pixian and Shuangliu counties, which means "one year to become a city, two years to become Chengdu". This place was named "Chengdu", and its title has been used ever since. Because of its special economic and geographical position in the southwest of China, Chengdu has become an important political and military place in history. From the end of the Western Han Dynasty (AD 8-25), when Gongsun Shu, the prefect of Shu County, proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, there were at least seven places in history where regimes were divided. One of the most famous is the Shu-Han regime established by Liu Bei and Liu Chan 1700 years ago. These feudal regimes, which separated Sichuan in past dynasties, all took Chengdu as their capital without exception, and then controlled the whole of Sichuan, dominated the southwest and won the Central Plains.

Chengdu, as a city, has never moved its site, which is a miracle in the history of world cities. The ancient Chengdu has won many praises in its development. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-220), because the brocade was developed, a special organization "Jinguan" was set up to manage it, so it was called "Jinguan City" (referred to as "Jincheng"). At the end of the Western Han Dynasty (AD 8), Chengdu, Luoyang, Handan, Linzi and Wancheng became one of the five major commercial cities in China. After the Five Dynasties, the Emperor of Shu (933-965 AD) planted hibiscus all over the city wall, so it was also called "Furong City" (abbreviated as "Rongcheng"). In the Song Dynasty (AD 960- 1279), because the comprehensive economic level was among the best in the country, people at that time had the evaluation of "prospering one and benefiting two", which was just as famous as Yangzhou, which had the advantages of shipping and trading ports. Chengdu has been known as the land of abundance since Li Bing, the magistrate of Qin and Shu, presided over the construction of the world-famous Dujiangyan water conservancy project more than 2000 years ago.

"The custom of visiting and enjoying the West Shu has existed in the world since ancient times". Qingyang Palace 1 has lantern and flower festivals in February, Longquan has Peach Blossom Festival in March, Dujiangyan has Qingming Water-splashing Festival in April, Xindu has Mulan Festival in mid-spring, Pengxian has Peony Festival, Dragon Boat Festival has Dragon Boat Festival in Xinjin and Jintang, Pixian has Wang Cong Temple Fair in early summer, and Xindu has Osmanthus Festival in September, all of which have the characteristics of combining art appreciation with agricultural trade. Lantern Festival is an ancient and often new art in Chengdu. Its history can be traced back to 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty. It is held from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year and has been passed down to this day. The Lantern Festival takes the animals of the Chinese zodiac as the theme, and designs thousands of colorful lanterns, which are merged into a gorgeous sea of lanterns for tourists to enjoy. The annual flower show evolved from the ancient "flower market", with February 15 of the lunar calendar as the regular period, which lasted for more than a month. A hundred flowers are blooming, colorful and fragrant. Chengdu is also the hometown of drama. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, on the basis of the local car light drama, the voices of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places were absorbed and integrated, and the "Sichuan Opera" sung in Sichuan dialect was formed, with five parts: Gao Qiang, Hu Qin, Kunqu Opera, Lantern Festival and Tanxi. There are hundreds of common plays on the stage, including humorous quips and instrumental music.

China has a saying "Eat in Sichuan", which points out the characteristic of "respecting taste" in Chengdu custom. Beautiful agricultural products provide rich resources for Chengdu's food culture. The humid climate in Sichuan has created a food flavor with spicy as the main feature. The different eating habits of immigrants from different provinces blend with each other, enriching the content of Chengdu cuisine. Chengdu's diet includes Sichuan cuisine, snacks and cakes. Sichuan cuisine is one of the four major cuisines in China, with 3,000 varieties and hundreds of famous dishes. The means of "stir-frying, stewing, steaming, roasting and mixing" are very rich, and the elements such as color, fragrance, taste, shape and utensils are ingenious and amazing. Chengdu's "snacks" are well-known at home and abroad, with hundreds of varieties, good quality and low price, good color and unique shape. Bell dumplings, dragon wonton soup, Lai Tangyuan, Ye Er flowers, Korean steamed buns, husband and wife lung slices and Mapo tofu have become a kind of "scenery" in Chengdu market. The "hot pot" that rose in recent years came from behind and became all the rage.
