Home to the symbolic spicy hotpot, Chengdu is a city you can't dare miss – especially if you're a foodie. And if you're a fan of adorable giant pandas, then the Chengdu Panda Base is the perfect place for you to meet finally them face-to-face!
If its ancient relics you're looking for, the 71-meter stone Leshan Giant Buddha statue carved out of a cliff is definitely a wonder to behold. Experience local culture by exploring the Jinli Old Street and watching Bian Lian–a Sichuan opera show–known for its unique face-changing performance.
