Introducing China - Chengdu

China.

Many of you know that I've been living in China for a long time now.

Having never been to China it may be hard to imagine what life is actually like here. I sure didn't know much about China before I came in 2006!

In the next few posts I will be introducing a number of videos to give you a better idea and feeling for China - and my experience here.The first one is a video done by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yi Mou,  showcasing the city of Chengdu in Sichuan province. I lived, studied and worked for two years in this city.

Many of the places shown in the video I have been.
Many of them I saw everyday in those two years.

Just hit play! Enjoy!



Chengdu certainly has a special place in my heart. :)

PS. Please note that the mentioned "Dujiangyan" at 1:19 of playtime is XF's hometown.

Really enjoyed the movie! What kind of tea is that green green tea ?

:) I'm glad you liked it. The green tea is more than likely jasmine green tea, the tea of Sichuan. Taxi drivers drink it from 2 Litre cups!
