Chengdu Living

Known for minimal aesthetic and bright colors, fixed gear bicycles are appearing everywhere around Chengdu. I interview Jacob Klink, proprietor of Natooke Chengdu Bicycle Shop about this exploding subculture.

Is this the end of a China dream? There’s a lot to learn from public response to the Wenzhou train crash which recently occurred.

Over the last week, Chengdu’s taxi fares have risen by 2 yuan across the board. Along with the subway, transportation is really coming to the forefront in Chengdu. What’s the likely reason and is this a big deal or not?

Bikes are all the rage in green suburbs like San Sheng Xiang and Dujiangyan. And now you can rent one for 10RMB. The rent-a-bike system comes from cities like Paris and Lyons and Forever Corp. has done a good job of implementing the scheme here in Chengdu.
