Discover Chengdu: China's Green Megacity Haven

Chengdu, Southwest China’s largest metropolis with 21 million residents, stands as one of its greenest big cities. Ringed by scenic mountains in the fertile Sichuan basin, it's renowned for agricultural abundance and spicy cuisine like chili-infused sauces and hot pot. Continuously inhabited for over 3,000 years with an unchanged name and location, it preserves rich history from ancient civilizations to modern times. Under Beijing’s 'Open Up the West' program, Chengdu's population has doubled in 25 years, fueling dynamic growth with 105 high-rises over 100m built from 2010-2022. Designated China’s Park City Demonstration Area, it prioritizes parks, paths, and green spaces, aiming for the world’s largest continuous network of paths by 2050.
