Chengdu reconstruction is widely praised

Three years ago, a devastating earthquake hit Sichuan province and laid Wenchuan county in ruins. The city of Chengdu also suffered, as several of its counties, namely Dujiangyan, Pengzhou and Chongzhou were also badly hit. However, during the past three years, Chengdu has made tremendous recovery efforts.
