Metroji clue #6

Chengdu in five emoji

China

The Sichuan basin is humid, hemmed in by mountains and famous for slowing people down. The city has a reputation across China for doing less, more comfortably.

What each emoji refers to

The breeding base on the northern edge of the city is the main reason most visitors come.
Sichuan pepper is not hot but numbing. The tingle is a different nerve from the burn.
Hotpot here is a shared pot of chilli oil, and the broth is often reused stock rather than fresh.
Bamboo grows fast enough on the surrounding slopes to feed an animal that eats little else.
The Wuhou shrine remembers the Three Kingdoms period, which Sichuan has never stopped telling stories about.
