Unlock Chengdu: 96 Hours of Slow Living & Hidden Adventures
Forget Touristy Checklists—Dive into a City That Welcomes You Like an Old Friend
 
You don’t just visit Chengdu—you sink into it. Imagine sipping pu'er tea with retirees in People’s Park, stumbling upon a 30-year-old noodle stall in a nameless alley, or watching a panda cub tumble like a clumsy toddler while ancient irrigation systems hum in the background. This isn’t another rushed itinerary; it’s a 96-hour embrace of Sichuan’s soul—where fire meets comfort, and every moment unfolds at its own unhurried pace.
 
But let’s be real: China travel can be daunting. Payment apps? VPNs? Language barriers? We’ve cracked the code so you don’t have to. Our Chengdu 96-Hour Ultimate Relaxation Itinerary isn’t just a guide—it’s your all-in-one survival kit, blending deep local immersion with foolproof tech hacks.
