Chengdu Overview:
This city is the capital of the Sichuan region,which is famous for its pandas and spicy cuisine.Unlike the food,the rest of the city's attractions are fairly dull,so if you are not fond of Sichuan cuisine or not interested in looking for pandas in the wild,spend your time elsewhere.(Many tourists find themselves in Chengdu en route to or from Tibet,however.) One bright spot is Chengdu's many teahouses,an important part of its cultural heritage.There,locals chat the hours away sipping tea and eating snacks,or maybe playing a little mah-jongg or chess.Chengdu also has a vibrant arts community,with many of the country's best and brightest living and working there.
If you do like Sichuan-style food,you're in for a treat.Chengdu offers a variety of culinary pleasures:Stop by a snack bar for spicy sesame noodles or dumplings in hot chili oil; hit the restaurants for tea-smoked duck or crispy rice with pork in a tangy lychee sauce; and don't leave town without trying a hot pot—do-it-yourself Chinese fondues.Street vendors sell pieces of meat and vegetables on skewers,which they let you fry in a large wok filled with hot-pepper oil.It's a tasty midday snack.Though we never tried it,you'll also see dog on the menu,especially in winter.(It's easy enough to avoid dog restaurants—you'll see the carcasses hanging in the front windows.) After eating,you might want to relax at a local teahouse,where you'll find chess players,storytellers and,if you're lucky,a teahouse opera performance (Sichuan Opera,or Chuan Opera,is one of China's most famous opera styles and features music performances,comedy,costumed theater,shadow puppets and the celebrated mask-changers—whose sleight of hand always baffles audiences).
If you find time between meals,visit the city's zoo where giant pandas are on display.You can also visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Pand Breeding in the northern part of the city.The Provincial Museum and the Sanxingdui Museum are worth visiting for their amazing Shu/Ba bronze humanoid figures.At night,you may be allowed into the hall next to the Jinjiang Hotel for ballroom dancing:You can jitterbug the night away beneath the stern gaze of huge portraits of Mao,Marx,Engels and Lenin.
One of the nicest spots in Chengdu is a large bamboo park around the thatched cottage of Du Fu (AD 712-770),a poet.He and Li Bo were the most celebrated of the poets of the Tang dynasty.Du Fu was more of an ascetic than the sensualist Li Bo,who often wrote poetry while drunk.(Li is said to have died when,drinking one night onboard a boat,he tried to embrace his own moonlit reflection in the water and drowned.)
A couple of days could also be well spent exploring the area around Chengdu.Take a day trip to visit the Wolong Nature Reserve,a three- to four-hour drive (94 mi/150 km) west of Chengdu.Its beautiful,bamboo-swathed mountains are home to a diverse collection of plants,birds and animals.Among more than 100 species of mammals are golden monkeys,golden langurs and about 500 giant pandas—nearly one-third of the entire wild population.It is possible to go on panda-spotting treks,and you may be lucky to catch sight of one,but sightings in the wild are very rare.The best option to see pandas is to visit the Wolong Giant Panda Reserach Center.It was set up in 1993 and provides many of the world's zoos with giant pandas.Pandas are best seen early in the morning,when they are most active,or during early afternoon feeding time for the cubs,before tour buses return to Chengdu.
There are a number of Buddhist holy sites near Leshan (85 mi/135 km south of Chengdu).The world's largest standing Buddha (233 ft/71 m tall),carved into the face of a cliff,is a must-see—its big toe alone is 27 ft/8 m long.Also nearby is Mount Emei,a Buddhist holy-pilgrimage site dotted with more than 20 monastaries (ranging in age from 20 to 1,000 years).The monastaries offer basic accommodations and good vegetarian meals.
