Chengdu: Pandas, hotpot and ancient wonders

Chengdu: Pandas, Hotpot and Ancient Wonders

Giant Pandas · Sichuan Hotpot · Leshan Buddha · Sanxingdui · 3-Day and 7-Day Plans

Chengdu is the slowest-moving big city in China, and one of the tastiest. This pocket guide covers the four experiences that define it: cuddly giant pandas at the Panda Base, a bubbling pot of numbing-spicy Sichuan hotpot, the 71-metre Leshan Giant Buddha carved into a cliff, and the bronze masks of the mysterious Sanxingdui civilisation.

Every chapter gives you the history, what to eat, what to do after dark, and the booking details that save time. A hotpot ordering guide with Chinese names helps you point to what you want, and a ready-made 3-day and 7-day itinerary does the planning for you.
