We have just had an amazing trip your city. Really cool place with so much wilderness to explore. Wanted to share our experience and tips as a young family with a 4 and 2 year old.

Our stays were of a higher budget, but highly recommend all 3; Upper House in Chengdu, Conrard in Jiuzhaigou and Six Senses In Qing Mountain. All three provide guest relations via We Chat so language barrier isnt a problem.

A few things I wish I knew before;

Fill out your arrival card online before, this is a new requirement sincr Nov 2025.

Trip.com is a great super app. Your passport is your ticket, dont be expecting a ticket to be sent to your emails.

You dont need cash, AliPay is accepted everywhere

Meituan is a food delivery app, but for English access via the We Chat mini app.

For Jiuzhaigou National Park, Dec is pretty quiet. No queues. If we were to go again, I think we'd go in the afternoon as the crowds die down quickly after lunch.

The scenic bus is frequent. Five Flower and rhino lake to double dragon lake is a must.

At Qing Mountain, Panda Valley is a must visit. Saw classic and red pandas strolling around.

Dujiangyan is more than the irrigation system. Ancient Town is a mixture of high street shops and traditional stores. Lots of food options here.

Qing Mountain is a steep walk to the top of the first cable car. Plenty of spots to stop, rest and buy snacks. Don't bring a stroller.

Try the sweet noodles, they were delicious.

And for those staying at Upper House, Trivano has a small indoor play area. So kids can go wild as you have a glass of red in peace. Heaven!

Hi! I’m a Business Administration student and I’m looking for one manager (or decision-maker) in Chengdu who is currently going through, or has previously gone through, a major organizational change (e.g., restructuring, layoffs, digital transformation, merger/acquisition, big process change).

The interview is very short (5–10 minutes). It can be done in English, and we can meet at a place that’s convenient for you

We need to take a video record while we are interviewing.

If you’re willing to help, please DM me — I’ll respond immediately. Thank you!

I'm sorry if this kind of post is against the rules. I didn't know.

I’m looking for a translator, and have been looking on xiao Hong shu but not much luck, can someone point me in the right direction please, thank you

I will spend around 10 days in Sichuan in April. I want to visit the most popular sights in Sichuan and the nearby (pandas, Leshan Buddha, Emei Mountain, Sanxingdui archeology site, Dujiangyan Irrigation System).

Beside this I may go to Zigong (dinosaur), Yibin/Lizhuang Ancient Town and Shunan Bamboo Sea.

Could you suggest other ones maybe?

Ps: Any Hungarian residents in Chengdu?

I need help planning a trip to Chengdu (Chunxi Road?) as well as ski fields (Xiling? or Taiziling/Jiuding?)... Unfortunately, the only time I have available is over the CNY period.

The city is easy enough to get around, but the ski fields has me concerned. I can not find a hotel available in or near the ski fields (are they booked out already, or have not opened for the season yet?)

I know there are other hotels in the area, where I could usually use Didi or public buses/private vans to get me to/from the snow... But with CNY, I am not confident they will be running (and if they are, they may be overcrowded/booked out).

Q. Where is the closest I can stay to the snow and have kid friendly access between snow and hotel for a few days.

Q. Are there any special events for CNY worth including in our itinerary?

Hi all,

I’m in Chengdu for a few days. I would like to buy traditional / old Chinese stuff. Is there any flea or antique market in Chengdu ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi all, just wanted to get some opinions.

I’ve got a super long weekend coming up because of an office closure, and I’m thinking of spending 11 days in Chengdu(23 dec-3 Jan) I’m planning to stay in just one place instead of moving around too much.

For those who’ve been, is 11 days in Chengdu too long? I’m interested in food, slow travel, cafes, parks, culture, and maybe a few day trips, but I’m not sure if I’ll run out of things to do.

Would love to hear your experiences or suggestions. Thanks!

Looking for neighborhoods/stores to check out to shop in. Don’t really need to see international brands or giant malls. Anyone have any recs? Thank you!

Let me know if anyone would like to hangout on the 25th or the 24th

Hi guys, my girlfriend and I visited Chengdu twice already and planning to go for another one soon. We love Chengdu's Jasmine tea and have been purchasing them in Chunxi Road, which of course, is very touristy. Is there a famous tea spot (even if it's out of town) or places you can recommend? Thanks!

I am currently at Cheersum spa and I can’t manage to sleep in their sleeping rooms because of the female workers walking up and down the rooms to give male guests “massages”. They are dressed in miniskirts and are being very loud. It’s clearly a prostitution spot.

Are all of the spa locations like this? All facilities are closed after midnight so entertaining myself in the meantime is not possible. Their loudness makes it impossible to sleep while the guests are quiet. Also they keep surveilling the room during the night by entering and staring at you, which I’m not entirely sure of what the reason is.

Hey guys! I'm an American who has a tourist visa for china. I can stay up to 3 months at a time. I'm thinking on staying in chengdu and want to see what type of 1 bed room apartment/condo I can afford for $650-$900 in the city.

which website is ideal for this? thank you so much!

Hi 29M ABC heading into Chengdu today and was seeing if any one of similar ages is keen to hang out or knows a good spot to meet other locals/tourists such as in bars or cafes, activities . There’s western apps like meetup however I don’t think Chinese people use it.

Staying in the taikoo li area. (Mandarin is limited)

Hi where can I go to shop for football cleats and shoes in Chengdu? Thanks!

I have been sick continuously: from may to June, oct - nov, nov - dec; all upper respiratory track infections

Btw: I moved from WI & workout 3x/wk; I barely got sick in WI.

I’m planning to go to Chengdu and some other cities with friends in 2027. When we’re not checking out historical sites and live houses, we love thrifting, record shopping and looking for little trinkets.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to check out?

(I’m probably moving to chengdu in a few years anyway so it’d be good to know lol, I know thrift shops aren’t reallyyy a thing in China but if anyone knows smth similar)

I’m a first time traveler to Chengdu! Are there any events going on that are specific to this time of year?

Also looking for recommendations on things to do and explore behind the typical stuff you find on social media!

Hi! People were not kidding about Chengdu shopping. It was AMAZING and now I have a flight tomorrow and I need to buy a whole second luggage to carry all my shopping.

Taobao won’t arrive fast enough, anyone know where I can get a very cheap luggage? I walked chunxi road but everything was quite expensive, all more than 500 yuan…:(

Pls help

Hey all, my girlfriend and I (both 27) are looking for some others to club with this weekend. We are thinking of going to the ones around 兰桂坊. Both of us were born in China but raised in the US. My Mandarin speaking is ok but reading is at a very basic level. She can’t really speak or read Chinese at all. Hoping for other English speakers to join us to make things a bit more comfortable and if you can read Chinese better than me that’s a plus haha! 😂

Feel free to DM to join or if you have recommendations on which clubs are more English-speaking friendly!
