Chengdu, the hometown of Giant Pandas and home to 11 million people, is a super-scale hub city in western China. The catastrophic 8.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Wenchuan, a town about 90km away from Chengdu, left the city in ruins.

Located about 40km from the epicenter of the 8.0-magnitude earthquake, Dujiangyan (county-level city) of Chengdu city was also heavily stricken, with lots of houses collapsed and huge human casualty. After three years’ reconstruction, Dujiangyan city gets reborn. The newly-built high-speed railway enables people to come and forth Chengdu and Dujiangyan in only 15 munities.

Pengzhou (county-level city) in Chengdu also came to grief during the catastrophic earthquake. Three years have passed, those who lost their homes in the earthquake now live in beautiful folk houses. Bailu, a township in Pengzhou destroyed in the earthquake, has been reconstructed into “a small town blending traditional Chinese and exotic French architecture styles”.

Chengdu people have tried their best to rebuild their home and strived to get a brilliant future. After the suffering, Chengdu is still beautiful. Welcome to Chengdu!
