If you choose to build your home in the Jinjiang district, located in the eastern part of Chengdu, there are many opportunities in government and business open to you.

The Jinjiang district abuts the imperial quarter at the center of the city and is home to the government offices of the city and Sichuan province. Jinjiang is the main business district of Chengdu. You might establish yourself as an importer of tea, or become an exporter of the city's famous brocade. This district derives its name from the government official who was the overseer of brocade production during the Western Han dynasty.

You could open a teahouse and if you are able to find pleasant and competent employees who can pour tea without ever spilling a drop, your establishment may become a gathering place for the local gossips. Businessmen will come to discuss their deals and mediators can find a quiet corner to sort out disputes between quarrelling parties, a task most easily done while they drink your most calming blend of tea. You also might want to add some entertainment to your menu as many of your competitors offer theatrical performances, storytelling, comedians, and the ever popular Sichuan opera which is characterized by slapstick comedy and high pitched singing.
