One of the most pleasant areas of China to explore randomly, eastern Sichuan is focused around Chengdu, the relaxed provincial capital. Famed not least for its cuisine, the city offers a number of easy excursions to nearby sights. Set on the western side of the Red Basin,
Chengdu is a determinedly modern city, full of traffic, high-rise department stores and residential blocks. But it’s also a cheerful place: seasonal floral displays and ubiquitous ginkgo trees lend color to its many excellent parks, rubbish is scrupulously collected, and the population is also nicely laidback, enjoying its teahouse culture at every opportunity and unfazed by this being interpreted as laziness by other Chinese. You can make day-trips out to the picturesque Qing-dynasty market town Huanglongxi or organize a flight or train trip to Tibet.
