It is worth noting that the Survey of China's Better Life has selected Chengdu, Guangzhou, Dalian, Xiamen and other "better livable cities" through more than 20 survey data distributed to citizens.
Whether Chengdu, a park city, is livable is not only related to the beautiful ecology, but also related to multi-dimensional indicators such as comprehensive work, income, happiness, and city satisfaction.

"Chengdu is a happy and inclusive city"
The series of "Big Survey" data release activities were held in Chengdu for two consecutive times in 2021 and 2023, and this year is the third time that they have landed in Chengdu. The activities will provide a high-quality platform to show the achievements of the construction of Chengdu Park City Demonstration Area, the ten projects of a happy life, cultural and tourism consumption, economic and industrial development and other work.
"Chengdu is a happy city. Walking on the streets, you can see the happy faces of Chengdu people with smiles." Yao Jingyuan, a special researcher from the Counsellor's Office of the State Council, came to Chengdu many times. When interviewed by reporters, he shared his impression of Chengdu. "Chengdu is also a very inclusive city. For young people, Chengdu is full of charm."
Yao Jingyuan said that what young people need most is career and entrepreneurship. "Chengdu has created a good environment and conditions for young people to attract them to do something."
In the view of Wei Xiang, a professor of the Institute of Financial Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, three indicators must be met if a city is to be beautiful. "First, we must cross the economic threshold, which is a hard indicator. I think Chengdu actually crossed the economic threshold ten years ago."
Secondly, we should also reach a high standard in terms of human life. Wei Xiang said that "accessibility" is one of the standards. "What is' accessibility '? Let me take an example. When we go to a city to ask for directions, we will get two kinds of treatment. One is that he will tell us the left, right, front and back, and the other is that he may take us for a while, or even take us to the place we want to go. The latter is a very friendly accessibility," said Wei Xiang, "When I was in Chengdu, I did meet someone who took me for a walk and talked with me for a while."
Finally, Wei Xiang believes that a city must burst out vitality in governance, system and mechanism to achieve sustainable development. "That's why we say that system is more important than technology."
