Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, stands among China's most enduring and culturally rich cities. With over 2,300 years of unbroken history and the rare distinction of never changing its name, it embodies the convergence of tradition and innovation. Cradled by the fertile Chengdu Plain, the city has long been celebrated as the "Land of Abundance," a legacy sustained by the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system—a UNESCO World Heritage site that has nourished its fields for more than two millennia.
Today, Chengdu thrives as a nexus of academic and technological advancement. Home to renowned institutions such as Sichuan University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, it has become a leading hub in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and aerospace engineering, while its cultural economy flourishes in media, gaming, and the creative industries.
As the birthplace of the giant panda and the cradle of Sichuan cuisine, Chengdu offers both scholarly rigor and refined hospitality. Its international airport and rapidly expanding rail network connect it to the world, making it an ideal venue for global academic dialogue—where the wisdom of the past and the promise of the future converge.
