Sichuan province in southwest People’s Republic of China (PRC) is in a basin and surrounded by mountains. Most of its population is on the flat, fertile plains in the central and eastern areas.

Fuzhou, the provincial capital of Fujian, is a major commercial, industrial, and financial center and one of the high-growth cities in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
