Why Shangri-La Hotel Chengdu is so special...

City Highlights

Chengdu, which sits on the edge of the red basin in China's Sichuan province, is well-known for being one of the favoured cities in China to live; perhaps because it enjoys a laid-back vibe, an uncommonly large amount of inner-city green spaces and is within close proximity to the Panda Research Centre. Of course, these are all good reasons to visit Chengdu, as well. Visitors should be aware that Chengdu is notorious for having little or no sunshine throughout the year.

Spa Breaks

CHI, The Spa is a peaceful sanctuary comprising eleven private spa suites and herbal steam facilities. Following traditional Asian therapies which focus on ‘Chi’ – an inner force which Chinese philosophy states must flow freely to aid wellbeing and prevent illness – encourages movement through body massage, hydrotherapy, meditation and gentle exercise. Try the Yin and Yang Harmonising Balance, which uses deep, rhythmical massage to release tension and restore inner peace.

Wildlife Encounters

A must-visit in Chengdu is the amazing Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, currently home to nearly 120 Giant Pandas and 76 Red Pandas. The conservation strives to breed, raise and protect the endangered Giant Panda, and, as the national emblem of China, the threat of their extinction has encouraged an increase in the effort to save them. The sanctuary is constructed around natural scenery and man-made landscapes, to ensure comfortable living space for the pandas and good sighting opportunities for visitors. For the very best viewing opportunities, do try to arrive early morning when the pandas are more awake; by midday, the pandas like nothing more than a long, leisurely afternoon on their backs!!

Climate

A generally mild and humid area, Chengdu’s climate is split into four distinct seasons. The long summer, from May to September, is characterised by wet, hot and extremely humid weather; temperatures can reach a staggering 37°C. The average temperature in winter – extending from November to mid-February – is around 5°C, though can often feel much colder due to the cloud cover and moisture in the air. The best time to explore this fascinating city is during spring – between March and June – or in the autumn months, from September to November, when the temperatures and skies are pleasant.

Getting There

Please contact our Travel Consultants for flight details.

Wildlife

One of the city’s greatest attractions is the glorious Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, artfully built to resemble a natural panda habitat. Home to nearly 120 Giant and over 70 Red pandas, the base focuses on getting these shy creatures to breed, aiding their conservation whilst allowing you to encounter the charming creatures and their adorable cubs. We recommend visiting in the morning – before the placid pandas fall back to sleep – whilst August and September are the best months for spotting loveable, new-born cubs.

Wildlife
Temples

Charming Chengdu houses a number of intricately-designed temples with a rich and colourful history. The Wenshu Temple - a Tang dynasty monastery dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Wisdom – is the largest Buddhist temple in Chengdu, exuding a sense of serenity and togetherness through low murmur chanting and the sweet smell of incense. Surrounded by Cypress trees, Wuhou Temple honours several key figures from the Three Kingdoms period, whilst Qingyant Temple is one of the oldest and largest Taoist temples, housing a unique pagoda and traditional teahouse.

Temples
Culture

A vital part of Chinese culture, past and present, drinking tea is central to life in Chengdu; experience it yourself with a visit to one of Chengdu’s countless, traditional teahouses. The lively yet laid-back He Ming Teahouse is over a century old, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with a bottomless cup of tea. Outdoor teahouses offer plenty of greenery and people watching opportunities, whilst you can travel back to ancient China at the quiet, 200-year-old Laozhaiyuan teahouse. More of these quaint spaces can be found in the aptly-named Culture Park, alongside pretty ginkgo-lined paths and lotus-filled ponds.

Culture
History

With a fascinating history and a blossoming contemporary art scene, there is much to be discovered in Chengdu’s museums and galleries. Explore the Jinsha Site Museum, exhibiting the ruins of the 3000-year-old Shu Kingdom – including beautiful objects created between 1200 and 600 BC – or visit the intricately carved tomb of Wang Jian, emperor of this Shu Kingdom. The Chengdu Museum spans the ancient city to the modern day, whilst the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art is a sleek space for the exhibition of modern and abstract art in Chinese society.
