Cheng Du Welcomes You! – Welcome to Chengdu. With today's audio guide tour through the capital of Sichuan Province, we aim to provide you with a platform to explore the city beyond its famous pandas. You will be surprised by what the city has to offer and how relaxed and peaceful the people of Chengdu are. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, we will stroll through beautifully landscaped parks that shape the city's landscape, greet Mao Zedong, and not miss the busier shopping streets, culinary corners, and cultural highlights of the center.

The city is gaining increasing international recognition, with 200 of the world's top 500 companies already having a presence here. Chengdu is growing rapidly and ranks fifth in China in terms of population density, with approximately 13 million residents. Despite this, it is considered one of the most livable cities in the country, so don't let the gray weather dampen your spirits. Due to its location in the Red Basin Valley, the sun is not often seen here, especially in the summer, so it's worth packing an umbrella in your day backpack. Now, let's set off to explore the gateway to Western China.

If you would like to take a taxi to the starting point of our tour, you can simply show the driver the following sentence: 请带我去青羊宫, 谢谢。 (Please take me to the Green Ram Temple. Thank you.)
