Chengdu, formerly the capital city of Sichuan Province is also known as the ‘land of fish and rice’ and ‘land of abundance’. In 1995 under the policy of ‘the construction of socialist Xinmin Town’, the Chenghua district of Chengdu City became one of the first examples of planned urbanisation in the country. A large number of farmers had to abandon their old houses and move into the new ‘home point’ housing with its unified development and planning.
