Discover Chengdu
with Cathay Pacific
Chengdu is home to the giant panda, Sichuan Opera and a fiery cuisine. Yet the capital of Sichuan province also enjoys a gloriously relaxed teahouse culture and a hip bar and arts scene.
The city sits in the heart of the Chengdu Plain: surrounded by the mighty Mount Qingcheng to the west and undulating hills to the east, the region is so abundant it’s long been dubbed the ‘Country of Heaven.’ Less than 45 minutes outside of the city lie Chengdu attractions like the 2,200-year-old city of Dujiangyan and the spectacular Leshan Giant Buddha, carved into the hillside of Xijuo Peak in the 8th century.
