About Chengdu
Capital of Sichuan province in southwestern China, on a fertile basin ringed by mountains. Its inland position makes air links unusually important.
Population about 7,000,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Chengdu is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
