Sichuan in the Eyes of a Pakistani Student. "I have been studying in Sichuan for three years and find the province interesting due to the big modern cities, such as its capital city Chengdu, as well as beautiful nature views. Unlike Beijing and Shanghai and other mega cities in China, the life in Chengdu is comparably slow and people are not as busy. You can always find crowds waiting in front of restaurants or playing mahjong". (Photographer: Ubaid Malik, Pakistan)
