Dreams of Three Kingdoms

Chengdu, the capital of the Shu kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, served as a political center where Liu Bei and Liu Shan made crucial decisions. Its strategic location in the fertile Sichuan Basin, surrounded by mountains, provided natural defenses, making it a stronghold against enemies. As an economic hub, it thrived on agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship, attracting scholars and artists, thus enriching its cultural significance. With a history that predates the Three Kingdoms, Chengdu remained vital through subsequent dynasties, embodying a blend of political, economic, and cultural importance.

A bustling city with grand palaces, vibrant markets, and serene gardens, surrounded by towering mountains and lush fields.
