Chengdu is the capital of China's large Western province, Sichuan. Located on a fertile plain surrounded by green mountains, Chengdu is one of the greenest cities in China and has many natural attractions, including the famous historical scenic spot and cute pandas.

● Du Fu Thatched Cottage
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a museum and park in honor of Du Fu who is one most outstanding Chinese poet. Here people can not only explore Du Fu and Chinese Poetry, but also enjoy a sanctuary in the midst of a hectic city.

● Wuhou Temple (Wu Hou Shrine Temple of Marquis)
Located within the city of Chengdu, this is a not only a memorial hall for the most respected prime minister of the Shu kingdom, Zhu Geliang, but also the Shu king, generals and familiar characters who appeared during the Three-Kingdom period and popularized in the epic treatise - Romance of the Three Kingdoms. A half day visit actually refreshed my memory of the personalities and events played out almost 2000 years ago in Shu, present day Sichuan.

● Wangjiang Lou Park:
Wangjiang Lou (Wangjiang Pavilion or the Pavilion to Watch the River translated into Chinese), together with the Wuhou Memorial Temple (Wuhou Ci), and Dufu's Thatched Cottage are the top three attractions in Chengdu city.
