Chengdu
A city that makes room for appetite and ease.
Markets, kitchens and practitioner-led wellbeing reveal Chengdu through daily life rather than a checklist.
01 · Place, pace and practical context
Chengdu is our western China base and the natural starting point for food culture, traditional Chinese medicine and longer Sichuan journeys. The city rewards time: tea before lunch, a neighbourhood market before a cooking lesson, and careful conversation before any wellbeing programme.
- Character
- Neighbourhood life, tea, Sichuan flavour and contemporary wellbeing.
- Recommended rhythm
- Half day to five days
- Arrival
- Best entered through Chengdu Tianfu or Shuangliu airport; private transfers are built into the longer journeys.
- When to go
- Year-round; spring and autumn are especially gentle.
