Top things to do and see in Chengdu

Go to see the Giant Pandas

The province of Sichuan is home to giant pandas, and Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base is one of the best places to see them.

Enjoy the traditional art of quick-face mask-change (Bian Lian)

'Face Changing' is a dramatic part of Sichuan Opera that is often performed as a stand-alone artform. Performers dressed in elaborate traditional costumes change ornate face masks in fractions of a second. Sichuan Opera, another unique and worthwhile experience, includes other artforms such as Rolling Lamps (Gundeng) and Spitting Fire (Tuhuo).

Try the nationally-famous, ultra-spicy Hotpot

Hotpot is a part of people’s life in Chengdu. This soup-type dish allows people to add various vegetables and meats to tailor make their own unique flavor combination. While not all hotpots are spicy, the traditional Chengdu style is nationally known to be the spiciest of all.

Explore the glamour of history and culture in Chengdu

If you want to trace the origin and history of Chengdu, visit Jinsha Site Museum, wander through the postcard-worthy Dufu Thatched Cottage area or visit the Wuhou Shrine. All these sites will take one back hundreds of years.

Enjoy a night on the town - Chengdu’s hip nightlife scene

As a major metropolitan city, college town, and major tourist destination, Chengdu has many nighttime options. From theaters to modern pubs and clubs, from Jinli to Kuanzhai Alley, visitors can find numerous teahouses, pubs, bars, dance clubs, guesthouses, restaurants and food stalls selling mouth-watering delicacies.

Experience tea time in People's Park

People's Park is a popular place for people to hang out in a quiet, garden-like atmosphere and drink tea (BYOT – bring your own tea - if you want). There is a great teahouse nearby and many people will sit for hours sipping tea and playing mahjong.

In order to promote and further cultural exchange, CET offers the following activities for participants and their families. Those who book any 2-city, 5-day tour (or longer) with us can choose 1 of the following options to be included at no charge.

For example, Andy books a 5-day tour to Beijing and Xi'an so he can choose 1 of the above 5 options. Judy books a 10-day Beijing-Shanghai-Guilin Tour so she can choose 2 of the 5 options.

Conditions

Since the specials are only offered for athletes and their families, WPFG registration must be provided upon registering for the tour. If the athlete decides not to take a tour, yet his/her family member(s) will, the relationship of the traveler(s) to the athlete must be clarified at time of registration.

Occasionally, one or more of the options may not be available due to weather conditions or other rare situations. We will contact you if your selected option is not available.
