Sichuan and Chongqing residents are descendants of those who lived in the Ba and Shu Kingdoms, hence they are established in the “Bashu Culture” (巴蜀文化, Bāshǔ Wénhuà). This is also known as Chongqing-Sichuan culture, and it relates not just to Chongqing and Sichuan, but also to sections of the bordering provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, where Han Chinese people now largely speak Southwestern Mandarin. It has a 3000+ year history and is widely considered as one of the cradles of modern Chinese culture.
The Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor, which is anchored by the twin cities of Chengdu and Chongqing, is a daring effort aiming at transforming the region into a significant center for cultural tourism and economic development. This corridor, which spans extensive portions of Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, is a critical component of China’s strategic ambitions, as described in both the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-term Objectives for 2035.
