| Abstract | More than 1,200 years ago, Li Bai, one of China's best-known poets , wrote: "Travelling in Sichuan is more difficult than ascending into heaven." Today, these lines are still widely quoted to describe the inadequate transport facilities and general isolation of Sichuan, China's most populous province. |
