The Foreign Affairs Office of the 

Chengdu Municipal People's 

Government has recently completed the

information on the latest policies and 

practical guides to daily life, the Guide 

offers detailed services for foreign

help them integrate into local life and 

encourage them to make contribution 

to the city in its drive to be “a city of 

innovation and creativity where people 

strive hard, and a comfortable and 

pleasant city that satisfies the needs of 

all people coming from near and far”.

近期，成都市人民政府外事办公室对中英双语城市手册《“家在成都”生活指南》（以下简称《指南》）电子版进行修订，通过介绍最新政策、更新实用信息等，为外籍人士提供更加细致的服务，吸引他们来到成都、融入成都、留在成都，助力呈现“拼搏奋进的创新创造之城，近悦远来的安逸巴适之都”美好图景。
