Travel Planning Tips

Adjust to spicy food: Chengdu cuisine is famous for its numbing spiciness. Start with mild dishes and gradually work your way up to experience authentic flavors.

Reserve Panda Base visits: Book tickets 1-2 days ahead for the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and arrive before 10 AM when pandas are most active.

Experience tea culture: Set aside a half-day to visit traditional teahouses around People's Park or Wenshu Monastery to enjoy the leisurely pace of local life.

Use the metro system: Chengdu's extensive subway covers most attractions. Buy a Tianfu Card for discounts and convenient transfers. Avoid rush hours between 7:30-9:00 AM and 5:30-7:00 PM.

Check air quality: Chengdu's basin location can lead to poor air quality, especially in winter. Monitor AQI before outdoor activities and bring masks if necessary.
