Day 1: 成都市



We arrived in Chengdu hoping for cool weather as stated in the Yahoo Weather forecast. But it was a whopping 33degC summer condition in Chengdu as we landed at Shuangliu International Airport. Our host for the whole trip was a lovely & charming lady by the name of 平平小姐.


We made our way to our hotel 九龙酒店 for check-in at around 5pm. We proceeded to make a short orientation around our hotel, seeking out a local map to start out our recee trip in Sichuan.

Our first meal was the authentic Sichuan 麻辣 cuisine which really makes you feel the “warmth” of the city. Chengdu is known as 天府之国, meaning the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’. Chengdu people says, once you visited Chengdu, you would not want to leave the city anymore.
Let me see how true it is within these 5 days we have in Sichuan.
