About Chengdu
Area: 12,000 square kilometers

Location: located in southwest of China
Climate: Chengdu’s climate is rather steady and predictable, albeit tough to take at times. There are roughly four seasons in Chengdu, but it basically never freezes or snows in winter. Winter often feels cold though, as Chengdu buildings are not built with central heating, so some homes still feel quite cold in the winter. Winter temperatures range from 5-15° C (40-60° F).
