Lo más destacado

  • Sichuan Hot Pot

    Bubbling pots of fiery mala broth where you cook thin-sliced meat, tofu, and vegetables at the table. Chengdu's numbing-and-spicy hot pot is considered the most authentic in China, with restaurants ranging from street-side stalls to multi-floor banquet halls.

  • Dan Dan Noodles

    Thin wheat noodles tossed in chili oil, Sichuan pepper, preserved vegetables, and minced pork. Named after the shoulder pole (dan dan) vendors once used to carry them through the streets.

  • Mapo Tofu

    Silky tofu in a fiery sauce of fermented broad bean paste, chili, and Sichuan pepper, finished with minced beef or pork. One of the defining dishes of Sichuan cuisine.

  • Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

    The most accessible place in the world to see giant pandas up close, set in a forested park just outside the city center. Arrive early morning when pandas are most active.

  • Wenshu Monastery

    A working Buddhist monastery dating to the Tang Dynasty, with incense-filled courtyards and a popular vegetarian teahouse. One of the best-preserved temples in the city.

  • Jinli Ancient Street

    A restored Qing Dynasty-style pedestrian street near the Wuhou Shrine, lined with snack vendors, teahouses, and shops selling Sichuan opera masks and local crafts.

  • Mount Emei

    One of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, with temples scattered along forested slopes leading up to a Golden Summit known for dramatic sunrise views and a sea-of-clouds effect. A common day-or-overnight trip from Chengdu.

  • Leshan Giant Buddha

    A seated Buddha carved directly into a cliff face overlooking the convergence of three rivers near Leshan, one of the largest stone Buddha statues in the world at over 70 meters tall. Built during the Tang Dynasty.
