Chengdu

Chengdu is the relaxed capital of Sichuan Province in China, known for giant pandas, spicy cuisine, teahouse culture, and a slower pace of city life. Visitors can see pandas at the Chengdu Research Base, wander through Jinli Ancient Street, sample hotpot, and explore temples, parks, and lively markets. With nearby day trips to Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Qingcheng, Chengdu is ideal for food lovers, families, and culture-focused travellers.
