Chengdu a tale of twofold city with leisure, diligence

The Temple of Marquis Wu in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Determined to turn Chengdu into an important civil aviation hub, the city authorities have invested huge amounts of money to build a new airport while expanding the old one. The ever-expanding city, its fast increasing population, the hard-working construction workers and hundreds of skyscrapers have convinced me that Chengdu is not a city of leisure. Having said that, I still believe a leisurely life is still the best “selling brand” for Chengdu as proved by numerous teahouses and mahjong rooms, which are rarely seen in other cities. It is such people who are helping make Chengdu’s leisure business and earning Chengdu the title of a city of leisure.
