Chengdu City Tour

chengdu city

Chengdu was founded in the 3rd century BC after the Qin people conquered all of China. The city was so important to the Qin that it was given the name Chengdu, which means "Perfect City." It is located on a fertile but dry plain, so to successfully farm the region; the Qin established the world's first large-scale irrigation system. Still in operation today, this irrigation system supports one of the world's densest agrarian populations. Chengdu flourished in the Han Dynasty, picking up its nickname "Brocade City," as it grew rich due to the thriving silk brocade industry. Filled with history, natural beauty and one of the premier Giant Panda research facilities in the world, Chengdu is a great addition to your China itinerary.

Next the performance features two soloists on traditional Chinese instruments. Later on in the opera, a solo will be performed on the Guqin, the Chinese zither. The Guqin is associated with wisdom and nobleness and is used for only the most traditional and sentimental music.

Between solos the "Singing of Cuckoo" is performed in classic Sichuan surd singing style. Surd singing is one of the most difficult techniques in all of Chinese music, and the Cuckoo is one of the best-known folk songs among Sichuan people. The show's finale will be the joyous "Wild Dance of Golden Snake." This traditional folk music is full of humor, merriment, and the personality of the West Shu country people who perform the dance.
