About Chengdu
City overview
Chengdu is the Sichuan basin megacity where panda conservation, teahouses, Sichuan opera, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, Wenshu Temple, Chunxi Road, and Tianfu Square sit inside a fast metro city. The practical route divides the old core, Qingyang heritage sites, Wuhou-Jinli, panda-base mornings, and rail day trips to Leshan or Dujiangyan.
Food & drink
Chengdu food is built around mala heat: mapo tofu combines tofu, minced meat, doubanjiang, and Sichuan pepper, while hotpot and chuanchuan put skewers or sliced meats through chili oil and numbing spice. Jinli, Yulin, Wenshu lanes, Kuanzhai Alley, Chunxi Road, and hotpot streets around Wuhou add dan dan noodles, rabbit head, wontons in chili oil, twice-cooked pork, and teahouse snacks.
