Chengdu

Travel Notes

Best Time

March to June and September to November are comfortable for city touring and Sichuan side trips. Panda visits are best planned in the morning, when the animals are usually more active.

Transport

Chengdu has strong flight and high-speed rail connections. Private transfers are recommended for Leshan, Emei, panda bases outside the city, Jiuzhaigou extensions, and western Sichuan routes.

Visa Tips

Chengdu may fit some visa-free transit plans depending on current rules and itinerary details. For longer Sichuan and multi-city travel, confirm visa requirements early.
