Hey all - some coworkers and I are in town for business and wanted to see if there is a place that will be showing the League of Legends World Finals. I imagine there must be some places showing it with an LPL team making it all the way and would love to be able to watch in a public space. Thanks!

I’m a queer woman traveling around Asia and I’m looking for a place to freshen up my hair.

I tend to prefer barbershops over salons because my hair is short and I like fades etc.

Do you have any recommendations for queer/alternative barbershops that welcome women?

Hi all, I saw that there’s a new spot where there’s a 3D video of a panda on a building. Do you know where that is? 谢谢

Hello hello! My brother (28M) and I (33M) are going to stay in Chengdu for a couple of days. Next to do some sightseeing and doing the typical tourist stuff, we like to explore the nightlife a lot. We're from The Netherlands and we don't experience much from the 24/7 and never-sleeping cities. So my question for you is: which bars, clubs or other nightlife spots are the best to experience. Our hotel is near Jiuyanqiao Bar Street. We don't have fancy preferences, we only want to experience the local night scene and make the night as long as possible. Thanks in advance and have a lovely day/night!

Hey there i will be in chengdu for the first time in November and i have just watched a video on youtube from “bon apetit” called “china’s best restaurant with no menu but legendary food”

Would anyone know the name and location of the restaurant?

Or maybe now some other great restaurants (local hidden gems) that i should check out ? :)

Hey guys,

I have a friend in Chengdu who I want to gift a snowboarding trip in the Chengdu area. I would like to book a really nice villa or chalet in or nearby a resort for 3-4 nights. Do any of you know if this area or within two hours drive has good resorts mid December and whether there are some high-end kind of rentals available? Want to make sure he has a nice experience! Any recommendations are much appreciated - Thanks!

I have a 4hr layover in Chengdu en route to Turkey. Hoping to pick up a Camera for my Europe trip.

I arrive in at 9:10pm.

I was wondering if there will be any electronic stores open that late. Or just anywhere I may be able to find a mirrorless camera cheap.

Hi,

With Chengdu so close to the mountains in the western Sichuan, I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a place to get good quality camping gear especially a durable tent.

Cheers.

Hey Chengdu community!

My friends and I are planning to have a BBQ party soon, and we’re looking for some great spots in and around Chengdu where we can fire up a BBQ. Preferably somewhere with nice open spaces or scenic views, and where BBQs are allowed.

We’re open to parks, mountains, or even hidden gems if you know of any. Any suggestions or tips on places where you’ve had good experiences would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am looking to get luggage. Where are some places that sell good quality, not original?

I know, I know - it's pretty difficult to find bad food in CD, but it's been a while since I've rolled in. I'm kinda looking for some places for local cuisine as a solo traveller. I guess hot pot isn't really possible for one?

As for spiciness level, I can hang with the locals no problem. I am also fluent in Mandarin, so no trouble there. Any nice, authentic places you guys frequent or have any advice.

Also, how about burgers? What's the best in town?

I'm staying around Jinniu district.

Hello, I'll be in Chengdu on Wednesday 16 and I'm looking for someone to eat with as I hate eating alone! I'm actually traveling to Melbourne and I'll change at Chengdu Tianfu airport. I'll arrive at 6am and depart at 1am so I've plenty of time...

My name is Massimo (male), I'm Italian and I'm 19.

A tip on what to do/where to eat is appreciated too ^^ thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm tourist/non mandarin speaker. I am flying into Chengdu from Guangzhou and my favourite part about Guangzhou was Dongshankou/东山口. I know it's proper hipster but I really enjoyed the walkability, the old architecture, the chinese gen z doing cool things (so many cool chinese brands!). I know Chengdu is already known as being one of youngest/most hipster chinese cities but was wondering if anything similar exists in Chengdu?

thank you!

Hey! Looking around a few options to eat hotpot while in Chengdu later in October. We will be staying next to the Wenshu Monastery, and looking ideally for a non-Mandarin speaker place of high quality where we can have 鸳鸯锅 (half-spicy, half non spicy broths - because we do like spicy at home but don’t want to go overboard and end up destroyed in the stomach, as we know this might be next level).

Any recommendations given these ideas?

Hello Chengdu community!

I'm an Indian researcher visiting your beautiful city from October 22-29 for a conference at Tianfu International Convention Center. I'm excited to explore Chengdu beyond just the conference days. I'd greatly appreciate your help with the following:

Must-visit places in and around Chengdu (besides the Panda Research Centre)?

Best ways to get around the city for a non-Chinese speaker?

Recommended areas for authentic Sichuan cuisine?

Any local events happening during my stay?

Tips for using international credit cards or mobile payments?

Is a VPN necessary, and if so, any recommendations?

Also, I'd love to connect with locals or other conference attendees for sightseeing or meals. If anyone's interested in showing an Indian visitor around or just hanging out, please let me know!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey all, I’ll be visiting Chengdu in a few days and am running low on my 35mm film for my camera. Are there any shops in the city where I can buy some film rolls?

Hi everyone, I'm currently in Chengdu and I'm interested in exploring the LGBTQ+ scene. Could anyone recommend places, streets, or neighborhoods that are popular with the gay community in Chengdu? I'm not looking for bars/nightlife but rather areas or community.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

UK citizen that fell in love with Chengdu after watching multiple things on YouTube. Just wondering is it wise to go there and not know any Chinese? Many places around the world have English speaking areas, is Chengdu like this or will I have a difficult situation with the language barrier?

Thanks in advance.

As the title says. I only have a six-hour layover in Chengdu. I know this probably won't be enough time to leave the airport, go downtown, and come back in time to catch my flight. But is there somewhere I can take a taxi that's a bit closer to the airport where I can grab dinner? Doesn't matter if it's boring; it will be interesting to me as I've never been to China before.

Edit: I will be traveling to Tianfu Airport.

I'll be in Chongqing October 2-6 and would love to grab a pickup game or two, anyone know a place I can join a game? I'm not a pro but can play mid-level pretty well. Somewhere people would be cool with an American playing. Thanks!

Hi, I have a 7 hour layover in Chengdu; arrival at 5:30am and need to be back at the airport for a connecting flight at 12:30pm.

What can I do in the 7 hour layover? I’ve never been to chengdu and would like to make the most of my layover.

Thanks!

So, I have transit in chengdu. I'm wondering if I should be worried about the messaging apps like messenger, whatsapp, viber not working in airport to be in touch with my family and friends.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
