Recently considered to be China's fourth most livable city, Chengdu is one of the country's important business hubs. As a result, this exciting city has a variety of attractions and entertainment options, making it a popular tourist destination. Let EscapeWizard.com help you plan your Chengdu journey!
Air transportation for the city is handled by the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), one of the country's busiest airports. Book your flight using EscapeWizard.com by clicking (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) to take advantage of our low rates on airfare. Let us help you with your lodging needs, too, just click (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) and browse available Chengdu accommodations.
Once you've arrived in Chengdu, you'll find yourself with plenty of things available to do and see. One particularly popular tourist spot is the Du Fu Thatched Village, honoring ancient Chinese poet Du Fu. Here, you can wander nearly 40 acres of land and buildings dedicated to the exquisite poetry and impact that this artist had on his country. Also popular is the Zigong Dinosaur Museum, the Qingyang Temple and the Baoguang Temple. Additionally, EscapeWizard.com recommends visiting the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum and Tianfu Square, where you'll find a large shopping mall and entertaining water shows at noon and at dusk. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, you too will enjoy the offerings of Chengdu. The city's outskirts offer plenty of opportunities to get some fresh air and connect with nature. Visit the sacred Mount Emei, one of China's four sacred Buddhist Mountains. Emei is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features a number of scenic areas including the Baogue Temple, Qingyin Pavillion, Wannian Temple and the Golden Summit. Another renowned location outside of Chengdu is the valley of Jiuzhaigou. This breathtaking area showcases beautiful waterfalls and clear lakes, and is also considered at UNESCO World Heritage Site.
EscapeWizard.com recommends visiting Jiuzhaigou if your travel plans allow for you to do so, as the beauty is truly unlike anything else. For something a little more local, spend an afternoon wandering the Chengdu Zoo, one of China's largest. The zoo keeps over 3,000 animals of 250 species, including the precious Giant Panda. You can see more of these rare creatures by visiting the Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center, dedicated to the preservation of the Giant Panda
Of course, you'll need to eat while enjoying the offerings of the city, and EscapeWizard.com assures you that Chengdu is a great place to sample authentic Chinese cuisine. Be warned, much of the local fare is rather spicy, so be sure to order otherwise if you're not a fan of the heat. You'll also find plenty of bars around Chengdu, giving the option to enjoy the nightlife to cap off an entertaining day learning about the city.
If your upcoming vacation plans have you considering China, make Chengdu your destination of choice. With so much to do, you're sure to enjoy yourself in one of the country's most prominent cities. Plan your travels with EscapeWizard.com and experience the excitement of Chengdu for yourself!
