Neijiang is a nice Chinese city.
Neijiang is a nice Chinese city. Easy to get around by car/taxi and it has everything one needs, without having the crazyness of most larger Chinese cities. The people are very friendly and the sichuanese dishes are very tasty. My personal recomendation is to go eat some sichuan style beef noodles from a local noodle shop. They are fantastically full of flavour!

Leshan Giant Buddha, giant panda research and breeding base, Sichuan opera in the park every evening, were all fantastic and I would definitely recommend. People park is also fun with teahouses and locals singing/dancing

Chengdu is very easy to get around with and extremely cheap metro system. You can see the pandas easily by getting off at chengdu avenue and jumping on the free shuttle bus. Buy your entrance ticket on the bus at avoid queueing at the park. Visit century global, biggest shopping mall in Asia with its indoor beach!!! Sichuan opera in culture park is a fantast cultural experience and extremely funny, slapstick comedy.

Pandas!
Pandas! Haha, see the pandas whilst in Chengdu of course and lots of Chinese cultural places to go see like DuFu's cottage and Zhuge Liang's memorial in the Wuhou Temple but if you do want to see anything further out in Sichuan or the west like Tibetan towns plan for a lot more time as other places in Chengdu are not that near and it's a great province. I also loved the teahouse culture and it's easy to take the buses (grab a 1¥ tourist map for all the public transport routes).

Apart from the Pandas we loved the People's Park.
Apart from the Pandas we loved the People's Park. Jin Li street was fascinating. The city is huge and has so many different areas worth visiting. Bars, restaurants, back streets all there. Taxis were easy to use and cheap. Some language problems but get destination in Chinese and show the driver, no problem. Trains easy to use, didn't bother with buses. Most nights ate at local Chinese restaurants, great fun trying the Sichuan food, better than anywhere else in China, if you like spicy. Must visit the Global centre, just see something huge.

A must see in Chengdu or in China, is the giant panda.
A must see in Chengdu or in China, is the giant panda. Chengdu is a city famous for giant panda, where u could touch them or try to feed them! Chengdu is also famous for hot pot. Qintai Road is very unique and it's beautiful at night. If u have a lot of time, why not try the Sichuan Mahjong? The best way to explore Chengdu 's culture is to go to a teahouse and chat with the old.

Best place to head to if you’re there for the Giant Pandas and indulging in Chengdu’s Dan Dan Noodles and anything spicy! Loved the arts and crafts at the Wide and Narrow Alley. Don’t forget to buy Sichuan peppercorns, silver bangle, personalised seal of your name handcrafted on stone replicas. Jinli Street and People’s Park are must go to places, too plus the Wenshu Monastery. Take the Line 1 metro to Jincheng Plaza if you want to shop under one BIG roof! There’s a water park in the giant mall !!!

Chengdu is a nice city, not so crowdy as other Chinese cities. The city center is nice and clean. The research Panda park is nice too: animals have big spaces to stay and you can see them in their natural environment. I went to the Sichuan opera in 蜀风雅韵, inside the cultural park: I suggest to try even if you do not speak Chinese you will have fun and you can see a part of the traditional Chinese culture. I will certainly go back to chengdu to visit what I missed this time.

The coolest city in China, relax with a cup of tea in a garden and listen to the chat of those around you, before heading into an arty bar and enjoying some local music and poetry. The food is uniquely delicious and so so special. The subway system is cheap and works perfectly, easy to navigate. Get yourself a map in English and Chinese, though, as the map on the ticket purchasing machine only has chinese characters. Hotpot is a must. We went to Da Miao （大妙）in Xiangzi Alley. The food was second to none and there’s a fantastic Sichuan opera performance to watch while you eat. Nearby is Nu Art, a cafe and bar with cheap booze and a nice calm atmosphere playing cool original minimal house music. The pandas are an obvious choice for a daytime activity: get there early (arrive at 8am) to avoid the crowds which have to be seen to be believed!

Sonderia Hostel & Bar - Lazybones Hostel
Jinniu, Chengdu
From DKK 77 per nightI spent a very enjoyable week at Lazybones hostel - the staff really made my stay unique, with constant availability and quality advice. Thanks especially to Michael for helping with just about everything, as well as for pointing me in the direction of some remarkably good teahouses. The free events, like the Hotpot and Sichuan Opera, will always be a good memory and made for great mingling. The espresso they serve at the ground floor bar is also quite good!
