Chengdu city vibes incoming 🐼

Chengdu city vibes incoming 🐼✨ Here’s how to explore two must-see spots for urban explorers and foodie hunters! Get your camera (and appetite) ready.

Start at Chengdu IFS (Chengdu International Finance Square). The star here? That GIANT panda sculpture climbing the building's wall — it’s iconic for photos, especially at night with the street lit up and trees glowing in colorful lights. Surrounding the IFS, you’ll find tons of street eats and cool cafés — definitely wander around and try some spicy noodles or classic Sichuan snacks.

Next, stroll just a few minutes to Taikooli, Chengdu’s open-air shopping and lifestyle complex — perfect for window shopping, people-watching, and soaking up local culture amid modern architectural vibes. Right in the center is Daci Temple (No. 23, Dacisi Road, Jinjiang District, Chengdu; open 08:00–19:30), a peaceful escape hidden within the busy mall. Step inside for total tranquility after the city bustle. The temple’s serene courtyards and ancient halls are a meditative break from the neon nightlife.

Traveler tip: Go in the late afternoon — you’ll see the city transform as the lights switch on, and hanging out around IFS is especially photogenic after dark. Both IFS and Taikooli are easy to reach by Metro Line 2 or 3 (stop: Chunxi Road), so skip the taxis and beat the traffic.
