Chengdu is one of the big cities in China so there is a lot to do. In my short five weeks, I found several must-see sights you have to do when you visit Chengdu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Parks: <\/strong>Chengdu has so many parks!!!! And every park is so unique and amazing.<\/p>\n

I went to 2 parks while at my stay in Chengdu.<\/p>\n

My favorite by far was Ren Min Park. First off it is completely free to get in and there is so much to do there. It was so good that I went back twice more. The first time I went I actually joined in a Chinese flash mob to the song\u2026Milkshake by Kelis as the intro song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The second park I went to was the Bamboo Park, which cost 12 RMB. It was also awesome. There was a lake where me and my two other friends rented a Chinese boat and rowed around.<\/p>\n

2) \u00a0Happy Valley: <\/strong>This is the main amusement park in Chengdu! I know what you\u2019re thinking. You are in China, why go to an amusement park? But it isn\u2019t just a plain old amusement park. There is a strip of outdoor shops right outside of the park and a movie theater, a performance theater, and a sky diving arena. And inside the park is an ice house!!! There are also these amazing coconuts that they drill a hole in so you can drink out of a fresh coconut.<\/p>\n

3) Panda Research Institute: <\/strong>This place is amazing!!! I can\u2019t even describe it in words but this is definitely a must-see site. This is one thing you have to do if you go to Chengdu.<\/p>\n

6) Emei Shan: <\/strong>To climb to the top of the mountain is nearly 18 miles!!! Myself and my five other friends did it. It took probably 9 hours but it was totally worth it and the climb was so much fun.<\/p>\n
