🏙️ SKP Chengdu – A cutting-edge shopping mall in the heart of the city

If you're visiting Chengdu and looking for shopping, cafes, and beautiful photography opportunities, this place has it all!
The mall's atmosphere is luxurious and modern, featuring a full lineup of famous fashion and lifestyle brands. But what really impressed me was the "Bamboo Fountain" zone. 🌿💦

At first, I thought it was just an ordinary fountain, but when I actually saw it, it was truly spectacular! The fountain was designed to shoot up and down, resembling a swaying bamboo pole. It's calming, yet incredibly cool, and the photos are truly unique.

After a long day of shopping, stop by and take a break. There are several cafes where you can enjoy coffee or tea—a truly feel-good experience.

Come see the fountain around 7 or 8 PM for a photo-worthy view of the colorful fountain against the dark sky.

If you arrive early while it's still dark, you can stroll around the mall first. There are plenty of clothing stores and restaurants to choose from.

🐼[Chengdu + Jiuzhaigou + Leshan Giant Buddha + Baoguo Temple 7-Day 6-Night Itinerary | A Spicy, Fairyland, and Soulful Journey]

This 7-day, 6-night Sichuan trip took me from the bustle of the city to the tranquility of nature and the soul. 🔥

🌸Day 1 After arriving in Chengdu, I checked into a hotel near Chunxi Road. My first stop was Kuanzhai Alley. Nestled in the quaint alley, I ordered a Panda Latte and experienced Chengdu's slower pace.

🌶️Day 2
At noon, I tried Sichuan hot pot, which was so spicy I sweated and exclaimed in delight. I also enjoyed rabbit meat, a rare local delicacy.

In the evening, I strolled through Taikoo Li and watched the dazzling Chengdu nightscape.

🐼Day 3
Early in the morning, I visited the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base and was mesmerized by the sight of pandas munching on bamboo and rolling around.

In the afternoon, I strolled through Jinli Ancient Street, where sugar paintings, teahouses, and music intertwined to create a sense of Chengdu life.

🏞️Day 4–5
Depart for Jiuzhaigou! The mountain scenery along the way is breathtaking, and upon arrival, the vibrant, multicolored lake is a true wonderland, its waters as clear as a dream. Overnight in a local homestay, under a star-filled sky.

🪷Day 6
On the way back, visit the Leshan Giant Buddha and Baoguo Temple. The Buddha, nestled against the mountainside, is breathtaking; while Baoguo Temple is tranquil and peaceful, its incense curling in the air bringing peace and tranquility, like a spiritual cleansing.

☕️Day 7
Back in Chengdu, enjoy a relaxing coffee and some souvenir shopping, a perfect end to the trip.

The spicy flavors of Chengdu, the tranquility of Jiuzhaigou, the grandeur of Leshan, and the serenity of Baoguo Temple—every moment of this journey is worth savoring. 💚

01. Landing time: Arrive at the airport at 1:50 AM. Walk from the airport gate, following the Arrivals sign. It takes about 10 minutes to reach immigration. There aren't many people at this time, so it's a comfortable walk. I arrived at immigration at 2:00 AM.

02. Immigration: The line wasn't long and there weren't many people. It's recommended to fill out the immigration form beforehand on the plane or bring your own pen. During this time, there are officers available to assist you with filling out the form for a faster process.

03. Immigration: Waited in line for about 10 minutes. The officer asked 2-3 questions: Who are you with, how many days you'll be staying, and where you've been.

04. Passed through immigration and waited for your baggage claim around 2:30 AM.

05. Exit the airport. Pass the "Welcome to Chengdu" sign and follow the "Airport Bus" sign to catch the bus into the city. It's about a 10-minute walk. The bus stop is outside the building.

✈️Recommendations and Personal Opinions
The airport is quite close. It's a fairly short walk from the landing point to immigration. I recommend walking quickly and avoiding stops. It's easy to walk and won't get lost. You can follow the signs or people, and there's only one route to the checkpoint.

✈️ Immigration officers take a long time to check in and ask a lot of questions. It's recommended to prepare yourself for a quick and easy trip. Bring your return flight, hotel, and travel plans.

✈️ Restrooms are readily available from the moment you exit the plane. They're clean and new. We recommend using them in the airport before reaching the bus stop outside the terminal.

✈️ Restaurants and shops: If you're arriving on a late flight, there aren't many open. We recommend bringing snacks from Thailand, like bread or a snack, to take with you on the plane.

✈️ There are shops selling SIM cards and money changers that seem to be open.

✈️ The overall journey from the airport takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you have other plans, allow plenty of time.

When you visit Chengdu, start from the base of the panda statue. Across the street, you'll find a building; take the elevator to the sixth floor, and you'll arrive at this Mala hotpot restaurant. The menu offers a wide variety of choices, and the serving style is quite charming. Personally, I love the dessert menu here; it's both adorable and delicious. This place gets very crowded during the winter season. The atmosphere is great, and every corner is perfect for taking photos.

I'm standing near the Jinjiang River on this arched bridge... the dim lights reflecting off the soft water surface.

The sound of people walking by and the soft music from the riverside bars.

🗺️ How to get there: From central Chengdu, get to this address: Jinjiang District, Binjiang Dong Road 66 (滨江东路 66), near the Dongmen Bridge or Niuwangmiao subway stations.

💡 Tip:

Go in the evening after sunset to capture the bridge's lights and water reflections.

Sit at a restaurant or bar on the bridge or along the river and capture the city's reflection on the river.

☁️ Feeling:
This place isn't just a bridge... it's the "rhythm of Chengdu," combining past and present in one image.
