Standing at the Tianfu Panda Tower, the 339-meter-high city panorama blends with the lanterns of the Jinjiang River cruise, while the jasmine fragrance of covered bowl tea drifts from Kuanzhai Alley. This city, hailed by Lonely Planet as "the most Chinese city"—with a 3,000-year history as a capital and a collision of modern trends—hides dual surprises of tradition and innovation at every corner.
