Chengdu Tours

Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, was built in 316BC during the Warring States period (475BC–221BC), is situated in the middle of Sichuan province. Chengdu covers an area of 12390 sq km, and is becoming a modern city with many hi-tech companies making their headquarters here. However it is still known for its laid-back and relaxed atmosphere – something that is still present in the city’s teahouses where locals will spend the day relaxing, drinking tea and playing mah-jong.

Wenshu Monastery was built in the Southern Dynasty (420–589) and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). Dedicated to the God of Wisdom, this Buddhist monastery is a real hotbed of activity with people worshipping, burning paper money and incense, selling fireworks and fortune telling. The vegetarian restaurant and lively teahouse make this monastery definitely worth a visit.
