Chengdu Plain

The Chengdu Plain (Chinese: 成都平原; pinyin: Chéngdū Píngyuán), referred to in Sichuanese as the Western Sichuan Plain (Chinese: 川西坝子; Sichuanese Pinyin: Cuan1xi1 Ba4zi3), is an alluvial plain located in the western part of the Sichuan Basin[1] in southwestern China.

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, is located at the center of it.

[2] The plain has fertile soil and a favorable climate for rice cultivation, giving it importance in agriculture.

[3] The Chengdu Plain has historically been difficult to reach from the coastal regions of China, leading to it developing its own distinct culture.

In Chinese and Western literature and travel accounts, the plain has long been celebrated for its fertile land, good climate and varying landscape.
