What secrets does Changqiu hold? Once a humble township on the outskirts of Chengdu, Changqiu’s story is interwoven with the city’s own rich tapestry. Changqiu, now absorbed into the vibrant Shou’an Street district, whispers tales of a past transformed. Changqiu, as it was known until December 2019, played a quiet but important role in Chengdu’s expansion. This area, part of the greater Chengdu Plain, benefited from the ancient Dujiangyan Irrigation System. This marvel of engineering, built over 2,000 years ago, transformed the region into a “Land of Abundance”. Changqiu, like the rest of the plain, flourished thanks to this innovative irrigation. As Chengdu grew, so too did its surrounding townships. Changqiu evolved alongside the city, witnessing the ebb and flow of history. During World War II, refugees fleeing the Japanese invasion sought shelter in Chengdu and its surrounding areas, likely impacting Changqiu as well. The township’s transformation culminated in December 2019. Changqiu, along with Shou’an Town, was officially incorporated into the newly established Shou’an Street district. This marked a significant shift for Changqiu, from a rural township to an integral part of Chengdu’s urban fabric. While the name Changqiu may no longer appear on maps, its legacy lives on. The spirit of Changqiu persists in the bustling streets and vibrant communities of Shou’an. The echoes of its past resonate in the stories of those who call this area home. As you explore Shou’an Street, remember the quiet township of Changqiu. It stands as a testament to the ever-changing nature of cities and the enduring spirit of communities.
