Starting in September 2012, I will be heading to Chengdu, China to teach English at Chengdu University.
Chengdu lies in the southwest of China, in the center of the West-Sichuan Basin. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province and the center of science and technology, trade and finance, communication and transportation of southwest China, Chengdu is the most important city in west China. According to census in 2010, the population of Chengdu was about 14 million people.
People from Chengdu tend to eat spicy food. Local specialties include Grandma Chen's Tofu, Chengdu hot pot, and Dan Dan Mien (literally meaning, "Noodles carried on a pole" (dan dan noodles). All three dishes are spicy. Mapo Doufu and Dan Dan Mien contain Sichuan peppers (huājiāo; 花椒; literally "flower pepper") to give them additional flavor.
Home of the Giant Pandas.
As China’s National Treasure, the giant panda is one of the rarest animals in the world. The total number is estimated to be 1,500, including those living in the wild, 80% of which are in Sichuan Province.
