China is a unique and wonderful land with a diverse culture, population, climate, geography, and history. As the host city, Chengdu offers a wide range of tourist attractions. With a history of over 3000 years, Chengdu was founded by the state of Shu before being incorporated into China. One of its most ancient and successful irrigation systems is the site of Dujiangyan, watered by the Min River. The city is also home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Additionally, Chengdu was awarded the title of City of Gastronomy by UNESCO. The city is famous for local dishes such as Hotpot, Mapo Doufu, and Dan Dan Mian.

IAEG 2023 in Chengdu is the perfect opportunity to experience the unique and diverse nature of China. We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to our charming city of Chengdu in September 2023.
