“One year to become a town, two to become a city, and three to become a metropolis.” That saying perfectly describes the incredible growth of Shou’an in Chengdu. Shou’an has witnessed centuries of history, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a bustling town. Shou’an is nestled in the heart of the Chengdu Plain, an area known as the “Country of Heaven” and the “Land of Abundance.” Shou’an has benefited from this fertile land and the ingenuity of its people. One of the most remarkable feats of engineering in ancient China, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, lies just a short distance from Shou’an. This ancient irrigation system, built over 2,000 years ago, has been instrumental in transforming the Chengdu Plain into a breadbasket, ensuring Shou’an’s prosperity. Shou’an, like Chengdu, has borne witness to the rise and fall of dynasties. It has seen the grandeur of the Shu Han Empire during the Three Kingdoms era and the artistic flourishing of the Tang Dynasty. During World War II, when the Japanese invaded China, refugees from the east sought refuge in Chengdu and its surrounding towns, including Shou’an. This influx of people brought new skills, ideas, and perspectives, enriching Shou’an’s cultural tapestry. Shou’an and the surrounding Chengdu Plain are also known for their deep connection to China’s beloved national symbol, the giant panda. Shou’an’s story is a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and the unique charm of this region.
