Chengdu, as described in most of the travel books, it is a very "laid-back" city that emphasizes on culture and relaxation. You can enjoy the leisurely life pace of this city in a local teahouse, watching the locals playing cards and majhong. Also, many historical and cultural sites will make you better understand the tradition and long history of Chengdu.
Closely seeing the cute pandas, tasting the authentic Sichuan cuisine, watching the amazing face-changing performances in an local opera house… you will love the trip in this Land of Abundance.
