Speaking of Huaxiba, older Chengdu people will think of Sichuan Medicine, and older ones may put together bits and pieces of the private West China Union University founded here more than 100 years ago, but few people know the ins and outs of the old buildings of Huaxiba and the little-known stories behind them.
The ancient architecture of Huaxiba is a unique vein, integrating classical Chinese gardens and Western court gardens, becoming the only well-preserved architectural museum in Chengdu.
As you hurried past these old buildings, have you ever thought about the memories and times they carry? If these old buildings could speak, what kind of story would they tell?
