Chengdu

WHY VISIT CHENGDU A city of pandas, teahouses, and unapologetically good food Chengdu moves at its own pace — and that’s exactly the point. The Giant Panda Base, Jinli Street, and Kuanzhai Alley give the city its familiar face, but the real character lives in the details: a slow afternoon in a neighborhood teahouse, a bowl of dan dan noodles at a local spot with no English menu, or a day trip into the Sichuan countryside.We plan Chengdu around the way you like to travel — whether that means a morning with the pandas, a food-focused day exploring the city’s street snacks and local restaurants, a cultural immersion into Sichuan opera, or a longer route out to Jiuzhaigou or Leshan.
