The Place
Chengdu, China
City introduction
Panda mornings, hotpot nights and China's slowest pace. Chengdu runs on tea-house time — the Panda Base's morning feedings, Kuanzhai Alley's lane life, and hotpot tables that go all evening. Dujiangyan's ancient irrigation works make the region's easy day trip, and the city's casual, food-first temperament is the opposite of Beijing's formality.
