During the urbanization construction, the rural landscape in Sichuan is undergoing a complex transition. The survival of Sichuan rural landscape is facing unprecedented challenges such as environmental pollution, farming cultural loss and lack of landscape characteristics.

Linpan community is a regional society with ecological wisdom of Linpan and convenient life style of community in Chengdu Plain. Linpan Community is a new, compositive settlement. It can provide high-quality life for the local inhabitants. Linpan community has its distinctive leading industries such as agriculture and tourism to bring enough support for the rural economy.
