Southwest China · Sichuan
Deyang, located in central Sichuan Province near Chengdu, is a key node in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. Renowned for heavy industry (China Erzhong, Dongfang Electric) and the Sanxingdui ancient Shu civilization, it is known as the 'Capital of Heavy Equipment' and 'Source of Ancient Shu'. With a mild, humid climate, low living costs, and convenient transportation, it offers international students a high-value study experience.
Deyang has a long history, once part of the ancient Shu kingdom, and was established as a city in 1983. It now governs 2 districts, 3 counties, and 1 county-level city. As China's major heavy equipment manufacturing base, it hosts leading enterprises such as China Erzhong, Dongfang Electric, and Dongfang Turbine, excelling globally in nuclear, wind, and hydro power equipment. Meanwhile, the Sanxingdui ruins in Guanghan (under Deyang) shocked the world, pushing the ancient Shu civilization back to 5,000 years ago and providing crucial evidence for the diversity of Chinese civilization. In education, Deyang is home to Sichuan Engineering Technical University and the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (Guanghan campus), with distinctive strengths in engineering and aviation. For daily life, Deyang's urban area is clean and livable, with housing and living costs far lower than Chengdu. Yet a high-speed rail ride of just 30 minutes reaches downtown Chengdu, perfectly balancing tranquility and urban vibrancy. The city boasts high green coverage, with the Jing River flowing through and numerous parks. International students can experience authentic western Sichuan life while enjoying convenient transportation and rich internship opportunities, especially in manufacturing and aviation.
