In most Chinese megacities, everyone rushes around, but in Chengdu, China, people drink tea. In People’s Park, you order a cup by the lake for a few dozen yuan, you get a thermos of hot water for refills, and someone at the next table is having their ears cleaned. At the breeding base, giant pandas sort through bamboo during morning feeding. And in the evening at the Sichuan opera theater, performers change masks faster than you can blink. The capital of Sichuan Province has a reputation as China’s most relaxed megacity<\/strong>, and after a few days you’ll probably understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don’t expect a relaxed experience when arranging tickets and visas. In 2026, you can only visit the pandas with a name and passport-number reservation<\/strong> (except for people over 60 and small children). You can book no earlier than 14 days in advance (tickets aren’t available before then), and only for morning or afternoon slots. On Mondays, pavilion No. 6 is closed, which according to visitors is where the most famous panda usually stays. Tickets to the Giant Buddha in Leshan are reportedly sold online only, according to Chinese news. And many nationalities, including Czech citizens, don’t have visa-free access to China. In this article, you’ll find 22 tips for what to see and do in Chengdu and the surrounding area<\/strong>, from pandas and the Buddhist Wenshu Monastery through teahouses to the opera with face-changing performances. We’ve also included day trips to the Giant Buddha, sacred Mount Emei, and an irrigation system more than 2,200 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
