It’s vegan buffet with price range from $2-4, the price is so low because the cost was subsidized by the temple, The name is 谦和清心素食

Whilst on an extended stay in Chengdu, a lack of sunshine is making things interesting. While I am quite used to rainy days, but the persistent cloud cover is not helping, in things like getting a sense of directions. Also, with Chengdu so far West from Beijing but in the same time zone, how do locals cope with the unusual times of the day wrt the sun?

Hello! I will be visiting chengdu this December I saw that the weather is around 5-11C I just wanna know does it snow ? What to wear etc i want to prepare!

My itinerary will be

jinli walking street Jiuzhai Valley Panda Park Diexi Haizi jiuhaigou valley
chuanzhu temple jade museum red army long march bash hall shugong museum yangtianwo square

I'll be traveling solo to ChengDu from England in December arriving on the 14th around 2pm and leaving on the 18th on a flight around midday.

I'm looking for recommendations of how I can see as much as possible during my stay. Would it be worth hiring a guide to take me around and if so does anyone have any recommendations?

Also does anyone know how feasible it would be to spend a day skiing if I've never done it before?

Any other general advice would be appreciated.

Will be in Chengdu again next month. Last visited in 2019 and at the time the only viable (and even then far from optimal) gym for serious lifting (proper squat racks etc) in the above mentioned area that also offered day passes or short term memberships was seemingly Physical in IFS. Before that I also remember another gym chain across the street inside Taikoo Li but the equipment was crap.

Was just wondering if anyone knows whether the situation has improved roughly in that area (walkable radius from Taikoo Li) and if there are any other decent ones now?

I was recently told of an amazing kind of underground tattoo artist in Chengdu named Molly. I'd love to see more of her work if anyone happens to know where to look?

Thanks!

I have a 13 hour layover at TFU on December 19. I will arrive at 5:30am and would like to go see the giant pandas and see the old part of Chengdu. Are there tours I can sign up at TFU airport upon arrival? If not, what is the recommended way to get to the Chengdu Panda Research Base (and back)?

I am looking for some local help.

I am coming in for a short layover at 9:15-10:15 PM. Which food places will be open, and will I have enough time to get to them?

It's my first time travelling overseas so I am nervous.

Is it best to go 8am? Been hearing conflicting views on when to go? And can't search up specific details but i saw it's open 8 to 18:00 I'm sure they still have to have activities and stuff in the late afternoon? When is it best to watch panda? Thanks

Edit i am going tomorrow

Anyone interested in grabbing coffee or tea in chengdu? Here till wed! 22m from Canada :p

I was recently reviewing episodes of Top Gear and saw another episode where they went to Chengdu, China, which ignited my desire to travel. I would like to experience Chengdu, China myself, but I have many questions before I leave.

1. I saw how easy it was for them to move around in their cars and it made me feel heartened, but should you rent a car while traveling and how do you rent a car in China. And this episode is a bit old, I'm wondering if China is the same now as I watched it.
2. I have my eye on a flight to Chengdu, but curious if there's a cheaper way to order tickets.
3. they went to Chongqing hotpot in the drama and I want to try it. can I use Yelp to find good restaurants in China?

im from poland, im currently 18 and currently enrolled in university studying Chinese studies. Im currently on HSK 4 level, I really want to transfer to Chengdu University. My grades in highschool were average, I do have some extracurricular achievements.

Do i stand a chance?

Will be visiting Chengdu with my elderly mother, and I would like to arrange a therapist for her incase the fatigue from flight affected her. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a call in hotel massage therapist? What are the price range usually like?

Thanks in advance

I have 5 days in Chengdu and I'm trying to figure out what all I can fit. I want to see sanxingdu, and the pandas for sure. Maybe Mt. Emei if possible. Should I also try to see Mt Qingshen and the Leshan budda?

I saw cheap airfare on a website for a flight to Chengdu and I'm traveling from London. I want to go to the base to see the pandas and get a taste of Chengdu, and I saw that there was a Sichuan Opera performance (is this good?). . I want to go for food at the same time and try Mapo Tofu and Spicy Chicken, any other good recommendations? How much cheaper is the airfare compared to normal?

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”

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!
