Taking a holiday in Chengdu means you get to hold a baby panda. This is not a drill! We repeat, you are about to hold a baby panda. We could stop right here, we know, but there are other reasons to hop aboard cheap flights to Chengdu, too. The city is renowned for its Sichuan cooking, which is so spicy, it has been known to numb your insides. Luckily, hotels in Chengdu make it easy to enjoy your daily cool-down.

Getting Around Chengdu

Chengdu flights land at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), which is just 14km from the city centre. After a taxi or airport shuttle ride, you’re right in the thick of things. You can also get around via bus or metro.

When You Land…

Landing in Chengdu early in the day? Good, you have plenty of time to make it to your half-day Panda Breeding Centre tour and that hug with a baby panda we mentioned earlier. If your flight lands in the afternoon, there’s still plenty of daylight for a bike tour or visit to Happy Valley Chengdu, the local amusement park.

Touching down in the evening? Get downtown to sample some hotpot (be careful: it can be rough on the stomach) or relax in a teahouse.

Live Like a Local

Pandas aside, it wouldn’t be a proper holiday in Chengdu if you didn’t sit down for a relaxing cuppa at a riverfront teahouse. Take your new lease on life to Wangjiang Pavilion Park, where a walk beneath the bamboo is sure to inspire “serenity now”. Also worth a visit is Wenshu Monetary, which attracts locals on the weekend for prayer and reflection.
