Chengdu, capital city of Southwest China's Sichuan province, is transforming 
into a smart city with the development and application of the new generation 
information technologies such as internet of things, cloud computing, big data 
and artificial intelligence.

A total of 2,539 intelligent street lamps made in Chengdu were used during the 
Beijing Winter Olympics, demonstrating the city's technology strength.

Developed by Chengdu-based Sichuan Huati Lighting Technology Co Ltd, the lamps 
not only provide lighting services, but are also equipped with WiFi, LED 
panels, charging piles, photovoltaic power generation and energy storing 
devices. They serve multiple functions, including 5G communication, 
environmental monitoring and intelligent transportation.

The lamps are also in operation in Chengdu. Based on the lamps, Huati Lighting 
Technology has also developed a series of smart city application scenarios and 
services. Its smart roadside parking system has been piloted in Chengdu's 
Shuangliu district, and the smart greenway system has been applied in the 
city's Jincheng Greenway.

Under the Chengdu municipal government's guidance to build a "Smart Chengdu", 
an increasing number of intelligent technology products and smart city 
application scenarios have been applied, changing people's way of production 
and life.

Since July 2022, the first batch of eight autopilot taxis has been in 
demonstrative operation at the Singapore-Sichuan Hi-tech Innovation Park, 
providing citizens with an intelligent driving experience.

In Chengdu's Xindu district, Micronet Union Technology (Chengdu) Co Ltd and 
China Mobile have jointly built Sichuan province's first "5G Smart Factory" 
demonstration project. Through the deployment of 5G smart applications, this 
factory realizes innovation in intelligent manufacturing.

Through the digital management mode of "drone + intelligent agriculture," the 
Grain and Oil Modern Agriculture Park in Dayi county provides one-stop services 
for farmers in terms of farm management, agricultural supply purchases and 
operation of agricultural machinery.

To support the construction of Chengdu's smart city, it is improving its 
digital infrastructure.

The National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, the first of its kind in western 
China, will contribute to Chengdu's smart city construction with strong 
computing ability. The Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center, the largest 
artificial intelligence computing center in Southwest China, will support the 
intelligent upgrading of various industries within the city.

In July, Chengdu established a smart city perception center. It will build a 
smart city perception system through perception terminals, communication 
networks and management platforms.
