Shops, food and Tian Fu Square

Shev and Dev begin their Chengdu visit on Chunxi Road, a pedestrian street with international and local brands, shops and panda merchandise. They try Sichuan food, including Mala soup and pan-fried dumplings. As they explore, they use QR codes to pay and look for food in smaller alleys, where the street stalls offer unfamiliar dishes, including pig brain.

Their route continues to Tian Fu Square, a large public space that they compare with Tiananmen Square in Beijing. People’s Park offers a different view of everyday life. They see performers and tea drinking, then find a marriage market, where parents post pink slips with personal information about their children in hopes of finding a match. The couple describe it as a real-life version of a dating app, and note the unusual custom with curiosity.

Jin Li Old Street and pandas

Shev and Dev walk Jin Li Old Street, with traditional architecture, food stalls and a mix of visitors. The route shifts from modern retail to an area built around older styles and street food. They also visit the Chengdu Panda Base, where they watch pandas climb and move around in their enclosures. Neither had seen pandas before, making the stop an important part of their visit.

Throughout the day, they react to Chengdu's combination of newer buildings and traditional culture. They speak with local people and notice the city's panda imagery on Chunxi Road. The trip includes food, shopping, parks and conservation, with mobile payments helping them move through different parts of the city. Their visit is a personal introduction to Chengdu rather than a complete guide, centered on places where they can experience both street life and familiar landmarks.
