Great Resort in MuiNe

 Chengdu Sleeps is a web site dedicated to the budget traveler. Many travelers have no idea where to stay, or what to see when they arrive in Chengdu, china. At Chengdu Sleeps we hope we can help you with this problem.
There are many great guide books out there that can help you, such as Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and Let's Go. These guide books are
great, but they don't list very many hotels/guesthouses/hostels in Chengdu. The hotels, cafes, tour companies, and stores have not paid to be listed on this site. These are not advertisements. This is a free service to both you, and them.
We are hoping that we can make life easier for both you, and the residents of Chengdu, Sichuan .

Chengdu has much to offer for entertainment. There are many bars and restuarants that cater to the backpacking crowd.
Two great restaurants/Bars are Shamrock and Carols. They offer lively night life. If you want a more subdued evening, try one of the smaller bars, like Daves Oasis, Joy's, and Roo Bar. If you would like to venture downtown then try a walk at ChinXi Lu. It's a pedestrian only shopping street. It's just east of TianFu Square (That's the place with the worlds largest statue of Chairman Mao.
Across the street from Daves Oasis is one of the river front walks. It is a great way to see some locals. Across from the Bin Jiang hotel, along the river is the famed "English Corner". It's a place for locals to come and practice their English. If go there, as a foreigner, you will be swarmed by locals asking you questions. It's a lot of fun. |

Chengdu is the perfect place to base youself. There are many awesome sites that are a few hours away. To the north is JouZhauGou (famous for its blue lakes), Songpan (a Tibetan area where you can go horseback riding), and HuongLong. To the west is Wolong (the panda research centre), DuJiangYan (known for its water works), and Kangding (another Tibetian area), to the south is Emei Mountian, and Leshan (that's where the giant Buddha is). Chengdu is also a gateway to Tibet, and Yunnan. From here, you can take a train and bus to Lijiang, a bus or plain to Tibet, or a bus to ChongQing (the start of the cruise to the Three Gorges). |
