Chengdu

The Chengdu Panda Base is the perfect destination to see China's symbol: pandas! Not only are the pandas huge, they are also very active inside the center. To see the pandas in their most active state, we had to wake up extra early. How early?

Tianfu Square (天府广场) is right at the center of Chengdu. It is a large public square with a big underground food court. There are a few better-than-okay museums and a library nearby.

The Sichuan province is famous for their spicy flavours, and Chengdu is no exception. Luckily, being a hub city, Chengdu also has a variety of non-spicy specialties. As you can see below, not all of the local delicacies are spicy. If you love to eat, Chengdu will not disappoint.
