Chengdu, capital of China's southwestern Sichuan Province, is renowned as being the home of the panda, plus much more besides.

Kuanzhai Lane is a fusion of tradition and fashionable, business and leisure in the heart of Chengdu. Its name literally means wide and narrow lanes, and present-day Kuanzhai Lane consists of three lanes: Kuan Lane ( literally Wide Lane), Zhai Lane (Narrow Lane) and Jing Lane (Well Lane).[Photo by Liu Shaomin]
