The name Chengdu refers to the local area and its heritage
Chengdu is western China's educational hub with over 60 universities. Sichuan University (founded 1896, ranked top 50 in Asia) and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) (one of China's "Seven Sons of National Defence") are the most prestigious. The city is also home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, one of the world's leading panda research centers.
Chengdu's metro system has 13 lines covering 500+ km, making it one of China's fastest-growing networks. The airport line connects Tianfu Airport (TFU) to the city center in 45 minutes. However, the Panda Base and Dujiangyan are not reachable by metro. Our private car service is the most convenient way to visit these suburban attractions, especially with a knowledgeable driver who knows the best routes.
Chengdu sits on the fertile Chengdu Plain, surrounded by the Longmen Mountains to the west and the Qionglai Mountains to the southwest. The Dujiangyan irrigation system, built 2,200 years ago, still diverts water from the Min River to the plain. The city is famous for its laid-back lifestyle, with more teahouses than any other city in the world. The surrounding mountains are a biodiversity hotspot, home to the giant panda and golden snub-nosed monkey.
