At the beginning of 2019, Chengdu, an ancient capital with a civilization of more than 4,500 years and a history of more than 2,300 years, came all the way to Greece and signed a friendly cooperative relationship agreement with Athens. Two unfamiliar cities joined hands together in the New Year, thus, the ancient Shu Civilization and Tianfu culture showed their unique charm in the Western civilization more than 7,000 kilometers away.


Chengdu, the city that was titled as City of Gastronomy by UNESCO, brought its own snacks to Athens to share with the citizens of Athens.


Athens is an ancient city endowed with mystery by mythology. It is the eighth largest city in Europe with both ancient and modern civilization. It is a romantic and fascinating city that lies beside the Aegean Sea.
