Chengdu, known as "Rong" for short, and also known as Rongcheng or Jincheng, is an important central city in western China, a national historical and cultural city, and an important birthplace of ancient Shu civilization! By looking back at history, we can find that as early as about 4,500 to 3,700 years ago, the settlement center of the ancient Shu ancestors had already appeared on the Chengdu Plain. In 316 BC, Qin destroyed Shu and established Shu County and Chengdu County, which was the seat of Shu County. In 311 BC, the construction of the Great City and the Small City was recognized by later generations as a symbol of the establishment of Chengdu with documented records. Developed to the present, Chengdu has famous attractions such as the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Mount Qingcheng, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Shrine, Jinsha Site, Qingyang Palace, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Kuanzhai Alley, Chunxi Road, Anren Ancient Town, Chengdu Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li, and Jinli. It is an excellent travel destination and worth a visit! So, the question is, how should you plan a 5-day trip to Chengdu in 2025? Don't worry, read on. I have carefully prepared an itinerary and things to note, and everything you want to know is here! First, 2025 Chengdu Travel Guide: 5-Day Itinerary DAY01: Chunxi Road → Taikoo Li → Check in at the Climbing Panda → Ancient Dasheng Ci Temple → Sichuan Museum → Xipu Night Market DAY02: Jiuzhaigou [Peak Season Ticket CNY 280] DAY03: Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding [Ticket CNY 55] → Sanxingdui [Ticket CNY 72, book in advance at 20:00 5 days prior] DAY04: Mount Qingcheng [CNY 90 for the front mountain, CNY 20 for the back mountain] → Dujiangyan Irrigation System [Ticket CNY 80] DAY05: Wuhou Shrine [Ticket CNY 50] → Jinli → Du Fu Thatched Cottage [Ticket CNY 50] → Qingyang Palace [Ticket CNY 10] → Kuanzhai Alley These five days include Chengdu's popular attractions, where you can experience drinking tea, watching face-changing performances, seeing cute giant pandas, and tasting delicious food. Moreover, because there are fewer arrangements, you can enjoy a leisurely time, and in the evening, you can focus on the food areas such as Wangping Street, Jianshe Lane, People's Park, Kuixinglou, Leshan Shangzhongshun Street, and Guanghan. If you especially like to see intangible cultural heritage and face-changing performances, you can go to areas such as Meihua Opera House, Shufeng Yayun, Furong National Essence, and Daci Tea House! Second, 2025 Chengdu Travel Tips 1. For accommodation, it is recommended to stay in the Chunxi Road-Taikoo Li business district, near Chengdu East Railway Station, around Kuanzhai Alley, near Wenshu Monastery, or along Metro Line 2. 2. Chengdu food recommendations include Leshan Xianzhiwei Bobo Chicken (Kuixinglou Branch), Huiwei Maokao Duck (Kuanzhai Alley Branch), Wuming Feichang (Wenshu Monastery Branch), Xiaomei Nourishing Trotter (Kuanzhai Branch), Huang Niang Sweet Spicy (Kuixinglou Branch), Daxigou Tikan Noodles (Kuanzhai Alley Branch), and Mei Ji Rabbit Head (Kuanzhai Alley Branch). 3. In terms of transportation, high-speed trains can directly reach Chengdu South Station and Chengdu East Station. It is very convenient to take a taxi, subway, or bus from Tianfu Airport or Shuangliu Airport. 4. Chengdu cuisine is spicy. If you can't eat spicy food or have a bad stomach, it is recommended to bring some stomach medicine with you. 5. The first choice for travel is the subway, which is not congested, affordable, and fast. 6. If you encounter someone on Chunxi Road giving away roses for free, don't take them. If you do, they will ask you for money. 7. Go to the Panda Base early in the morning, or the pandas will be sleeping if you go late. 8. If you encounter bronze figures in the scenic area, refuse to take photos with them, as they are all charged. 9. There are places to drink tea next to almost every park in Chengdu. There is no need to squeeze in with people at Heming Tea House. Wangjianglou Park is very good, the bamboo forest is very pleasant, and the environment of the tea house in Daci Temple is also very comfortable. 10. Don't just know about the Panda Base when you want to see giant pandas. In addition to the Panda Base, you can also go to the zoo, the Panda Paradise in Dujiangyan, and the Panda Park. If you don't want to squeeze in with people, you can go to Dujiangyan to see pandas. 2025 Chengdu Travel Practical Information: You can choose the route according to your needs.

Address- We sent to see the Sichuan Opera at the Shufengya Yunchuan Theater 🎭 located inside the Chengdu Culture Park on 136 Qintai Road, Qingyang. We purchased our tickets on Trip.com and the agent, Andy, gave us all the information we needed to get in. Once at the gate, we showed them the booking number and a statement in China that the agent gave us and they quickly directed us to our designated area. For VIP tickets, make a right at the gate after picking up your ticket, then make another right to enter the VIP section. Ambience: It was lovely inside. We were directed to a table set with traditional tea and pine nut. We were able to buy snacks at a stall inside. Ear cleaning, costume trying and massage were also available before and even during the show. The lighting was warm and made for a lovely date night, even though I was there with my two kids. Highlight: The performances were in Chinese but the host spoke in English as well. Some of the acts had key English phrases like "I love you". Either way, it didn't matter because the acts were easy to follow due to how dramatic the actors/actresses were. The most impressive act was the face changing act. It's mind-blowing to consider how they changed masks within split seconds right before your eyes. They changed from wearing masks to not wearing masks and vice versa, as well as changed from masks to masks. The act with the fire 🔥 and the hand shadow were also spectacular. Average price per person: Our VIP tickets cost 348yuan per person. We didn't pay for our 4-year-old. Rating- Definitely 5 stars🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Worth it. It has many features of a circus 🎪. #sichuanopera #chengdu #FaceChanging
