The modern metropolis of Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province in southern China. A city of striking contrasts, it seems that Chengdu is continually renewing its modern façade, pulling skyscrapers from historic districts and rushing wholeheartedly into the 21st century. Even so, there is a remarkable amount of history and old-world culture lingering in these streets, making a holiday to Chengdu a celebration of traditions both old and new.


Most of Chengdu’s visitors are here to see the pandas, although there’s a great deal more to explore after visiting the Panda Breeding Centre. Several temples, monuments and historical sites populate the city centre, while a rich and rugged hinterland holds treasures like the Grand Buddha of Le Shan for those who wish to plan daytrips or weekend excursions.
