Besides Nanchong, Chengdu was the city we became most intimate with. It's the capital of Sichuan and was only 10 hrs. away (on a good day!) It was also home base for the CEE (China Educational Exchange) program that we were part of. For anyone interested, the program has been around for over 25 yrs., and is now called "Mennonite Partners in China" (MPC). Website here: http://www.mennonitepartnerschina.org/Home
