Hours in Chengdu 

In the early morning, you will be awakened by the sound of the Sichuan Opera from Huanhuaxi Garden. Amidst the sounds of the opera, the city’s older residents will be practicing Tai Ji. While wandering in the garden, you will see the beautiful view as described by the Tang poem of Du Fu, written thousands of years ago. Nearby, stands the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum built as a memorial to this great poet. Next, it’s time to taste Chengdu’s famous breakfast, which includes Dragon reading hands, rice balls and dumplings.

After breakfast, head to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to hug some adorable panda babies while they sit, eat and walk all around you. When it is time to say goodbye, take a rest in a teahouse and have some delicious Sichuan cuisine for lunch at the Apricot Restaurant. Afterwards, walk along the China Lane and Wu Hou Shrine to soak up some sunshine and local flavor.

Next, head over to visit one of the largest buildings in Asia, the Chengdu New Century Global Centre. Go shopping, skating and enjoy the afternoon with friends in what’s considered to be a manmade paradise. Now that it’s dinnertime, take a taxi to eat some regionally inspired hot pot. As night begins to fall, walk to the Nine-Arch Bridge, a street dotted with countless bars where people dance and sing under shining lights. Finally, leave the exciting atmosphere and retreat to a quieter side of town to feel the true soul of our beautiful city.
