Features: Chengdu is a very captivating city. She is like a concentric circle where diverse cultural phenomena blend, and people from all walks of life with different experiences find a sense of belonging here. This concentric circle represents her 3,000 years of cultural heritage and historical experience. She embraces and nurtures the people who live here, and it is among these ordinary citizens that many stories chronicling the history of Chinese civilization have emerged. These well-known tales include Wen Weng establishing schools, Li Bing managing water, Wen Jun serving wine, Sima Xiangfu playing the lute, Du Fu singing, and Xue Tao composing poetry. These stories recount the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people. To say that it is a beautiful city is even more so to say that the people living in this city are full of beauty.
