Essential information for exploring Chengdu
March to June and September to November offer the most pleasant weather, with temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Summer (July-August) can be hot and humid, while winter (December-February) is mild but overcast.
Chengdu has an excellent metro system (Lines 1-10) covering most major attractions. Taxis and Didi (Chinese Uber) are affordable. For a local experience, try the shared bikes available throughout the city.
