Over the years I have been many times to Chengdu and everytime I go there I can’t wait to start eating hotpot or take a stroll next to the river.

It’s a rather modern city and it’s a pitty that much of the old parts haven’t survived the building boom but it’s definitely a city I can recommend. And while you’re there, don’t forget to go out of the city and visit the pandas (20 minute taxi ride from the centre)
