Planning checklist
- 1Use the Chengdu weather, seasonal timing, and attraction list as the spine because the dated June event list is still sparse.
- 2Confirm weekly closed days for museums, markets, and major sights even though China has no national public holidays in June.
- 3Group each Chengdu day by nearby neighborhoods, then validate the saved places against your trip dates before exporting the checked route to Google Maps.

City overview
Chengdu is the Sichuan basin megacity where panda conservation, teahouses, Sichuan opera, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, Wenshu Temple, Chunxi Road, and Tianfu Square sit inside a fast metro city. The practical route divides the old core, Qingyang heritage sites, Wuhou-Jinli, panda-base mornings, and rail day trips to Leshan or Dujiangyan.
Food & drink
Chengdu food is built around mala heat: mapo tofu combines tofu, minced meat, doubanjiang, and Sichuan pepper, while hotpot and chuanchuan put skewers or sliced meats through chili oil and numbing spice. Jinli, Yulin, Wenshu lanes, Kuanzhai Alley, Chunxi Road, and hotpot streets around Wuhou add dan dan noodles, rabbit head, wontons in chili oil, twice-cooked pork, and teahouse snacks.
