Visitors to Deyang, Sichuan province, were impressed with the overflow crowds inside and outside the city's Wende International Exhibition and Convention Center, where the 7th World Sichuan Cuisine Conference was held on Thursday and Friday.

The conference, with the theme "Let the World Love Sichuan Cuisine", was organized by the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry, with the aim of building an international development platform for Sichuan food.

Highlighting the sharing and civilizational aspects of the cuisine, the conference also helped to promote Deyang's brand as a city, said Li Yong, head of the city's information office.
