Arrive at Chengdu to be transferred to hotel and check in, and then discover Chengdu. Chengdu has a very casual vibe. Here is where locals value life more than work (that's how it should be, right?), so mahjong and tea are two of the most crucial elements in their life. Go on a walking tour with your guide to downtown Tianfu Square where a giant statue of Chairman Mao overlooks his people.

Continue to the lively People's Park and sit down in a tea house for a sip of tea period, take advantage of the other optional services like ear cleaning and massages. Chengdu was listed in 2010 as a gourmet capital by UNESCO, so why not give the local delicacies a go?
