Chengdu, abbreviated as “Rong,” also known as Rongcheng and Jincheng, is a prefecture-level city, provincial capital, sub-provincial city, and megacity in Sichuan Province. It is located in southwestern China, in the western part of the Sichuan Basin and on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The terrain slopes from northwest to southeast, with deep hills and mountains in the west. while the eastern part is mainly composed of plains, terraces, and some low mountains and hills, forming the core area of the Chengdu Plain. It belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate zone, characterized by ample heat, abundant rainfall, distinct seasons, and concurrent rainfall and heat. The total area is 14,335 square kilometers, and the official language is Southwest Mandarin.

As of the end of 2024, the permanent population of Chengdu City was 21.474 million.
As early as approximately 4,500 to 3,700 years ago, the Chengdu Plain saw the emergence of a series of ancient Shu settlements known to posterity as the “Baodun Culture.” In 316 BCE, the Qin Dynasty conquered Shu, establishing Shu Commandery and Chengdu County, which served as the seat of Shu Commandery. In 311 BCE, the Great City and the Small City were constructed, which are widely recognized as the documented milestones of Chengdu's urban development. Subsequently, Li Bing, the governor of Shu Commandery, oversaw the construction of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, transforming the Chengdu Plain into the “Land of Abundance” and establishing Chengdu as the economic, political, and cultural hub of Southwest China. Since the Qin Dynasty established Chengdu over 2,300 years ago, the city site has remained unchanged, and the city name has not been altered. In 1921, the Municipal Preparatory Office was established, and in 1928, Chengdu was officially designated as a municipality.
Chengdu is a key central city in western China, a national historical and cultural city, an international comprehensive transportation hub, the economic center of western China, the innovation center of western China, the foreign exchange center of western China, and a national advanced manufacturing base.
