In ancient China, people said traveling to Chengdu was as difficult as taking to the sky. They had no idea that one day flying would be the easiest way for tourists from around the world to reach the capital of Sichuan province.
Named by UNESCO as "a city of gastronomy", Chengdu attracts millions of visitors from home and abroad with its delicious food. The city is also appealing to expatriate foodies who have set up restaurants and serve foreign cuisines.
The city of Chengdu is renowned for its food and culture but innovation is also strengthening the reputation of the capital of Sichuan province.
