Chengdu · A City of Slow Living and Subtle Splendor

Tucked in Southwest China, Chengdu is a city that has gracefully crossed thousands of years without losing its charm. It’s the land of the Three Kingdoms, the home of giant pandas, the hotpot capital, and a proud UNESCO City of Gastronomy.

Ancient yet energetic, lively yet never loud, Chengdu is a harmonious fusion of old and new — and it welcomes the world with open arms and a cup of tea.

Legacy of Shu · Where History Lives On

With over 3,000 years of urban history and 2,000 years as a capital, Chengdu is one of the few cities in China that has never changed its name or location.

Walk through Wuhou Shrine and Jinli Ancient Street to immerse yourself in the legends of the Three Kingdoms — where Zhuge Liang strategized with wisdom and loyalty.

Explore the Jinsha Site Museum to uncover ancient Shu civilization. The golden masks and Sun and Immortal Bird totem tell stories older than dynasties.

A Taste of Life · Human Warmth in Every Corner

In Chengdu, life slows down. This is a city where leisure is an art.

Sip gaiwan tea in traditional teahouses, have your ears cleaned, and enjoy a spontaneous Sichuan opera performance.

The clack of mahjong tiles, the sway of bamboo chairs in courtyard sun — this is everyday poetry.

At People’s Park, bask in the sunlight under leafy canopies, feeling the soul of ‘Slow Chengdu.’

Wide and Narrow Alleys blend Republican-era charm with modern creativity.

Face-changing opera is not just a performance — it’s cultural legacy in motion.

A World of Flavor · UNESCO City of Gastronomy

Chengdu is a paradise for food lovers — where eating is a way to understand culture.

Hotpot is a must — fiery, flavorful, and utterly addictive.

Twice-cooked pork, rich and savory.

Camphor tea duck, crispy outside, tender inside.

Local snacks like zhong dumplings, dragon wontons, spicy rabbit head, cold chicken skewers (boboji), and iced jelly are everywhere — from alley stalls to vibrant night markets.


City Landmarks · Where Past Meets Present

Chengdu embraces modernity without losing its soul. Skyscrapers rise beside ancient temples; global luxury blends with local traditions.

Panda Breeding Research Base: Meet China’s beloved national treasure up close. Watch pandas eat bamboo, play, nap, and melt your heart.

IFS & Taikoo Li: The city’s fashion pulse, where global brands meet local creatives.

Mount Qingcheng & Dujiangyan Irrigation System: A balance of motion and stillness. Dujiangyan, the world’s oldest functioning no-dam irrigation system, turned the Chengdu Plain into the ‘Land of Abundance.’

Wuhou Shrine: The only temple in China that honors both a ruler and his minister. Red walls and ancient cypress trees whisper the wisdom of the Three Kingdoms.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage: The former home of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. Walk the quiet paths, and feel the timeless lines of ‘snow on Xiling Mountains through the window.’

Jinli Ancient Street: Lantern-lit nights, stone alleys, and hidden shops evoke old-world charm. Savor snacks, shop for crafts, and feel the heartbeat of old Chengdu.

Urban Soul · Where Tradition and Trend Coexist

Chengdu is a city of duality.

It can be a tranquil courtyard scented with jasmine tea, or a fast-paced urban hub alive with creativity.

She’s welcoming to outsiders, passionate about life, and fluent in both ancient poetry and youthful innovation.

Here, you’ll find the romance of past dynasties — and the energy of a future still being written.
