China travel plan: Spicy Chengdu (4 days)
Our shortest plan: four days in Chengdu only, with no travel between cities. It works for a first visit to China, a long weekend or a stopover on a longer trip. You'll see the pandas before it gets hot and crowded, Buddhist temples, teahouses and Sichuan opera, and you'll eat at the 30 tried-and-tested places in the plan. From Tianfu Airport and around the city you get about by metro, with every journey explained step by step. What surprised us most in China was the variety of food, and Chengdu, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, is the best example.
