成都Take the afternoon off. The locals do.
Bamboo chairs, gaiwan tea and the gentle art of letting an afternoon last longer.
Not just where to go.
How to be there.
Chengdu's most memorable experiences rarely involve rushing. Learn how to order a gaiwan, find a neighborhood tea table, eat well when traveling alone, and understand why the city's parks are its true living rooms.
