This ancient Chinese saying about Chengdu still has truth to it today. Chengdu is a place which the young may find very comfortable and lose their ambitions, but for the same reason the elderly should stay here. Once in Chengdu you will feel the relaxed atmosphere. People go about business without getting rich on their minds. 

Chengdu has been found to be much older than previously thought. The Jinsha excavation site shows us that Chengdu was an important gathering place for people 4,000 years ago. For those interested in Chinese culture there are many great stories that come from this ancient city.
