Introduction
Chengdu is situated in the middle of Sichuan Province, high on the Sichuan Plain. Visitors can easily bicycle across this enchanting, tree-lined city and visit the River View Pavilion, the Sichuan Provincial Museum, and numerous shops selling Chendu's justly famous silk embroidery and bamboo goods. The Baoguangsi Monastery an ancient but still active monastery is also worth a visit. Sichuan province is Giant Panda country and you can visit the panda breeding centre near Chengdu, or walk through the mountain forests of Wolong reserve in search of the pandas. Both sites have conservation and breeding centres, where you can learn about and view this rare mammal.
