Spying a Crumbs on the fourth floor of an under-construction mall in Chengdu was like seeing an oasis in a desert. Crumbs is king of the frozen yogurt scene in Hong Kong and now we don't need to wait for a visa run or layover to indulge. Crumbs offers smooth and tangy yogurt made with real milk...

We were walking past the Blue Caribbean Plaza and spied a coffee shop sign proclaiming fresh roasting since 2012. We went up to check it out and found a gem of an indie café that was opened a few months ago by three very shuai boys who all are pretty passionate about their trade. Very few coffee...

Luodai 落带
|
|
Touristic (Dieter)
In my opinion Luodai is more a "Touristic" than an "Old" town. Well, for Chinese touristic goes hand in hand with shopping and "热闹". Not really an old town, lot's of different shops, good to buy small souvenirs and stroll for an afternoon. Better avoid the crowds during the weekend or holidays.

Susan Johnson (More chengdu)
It's difficult to imagine a place like Maison Mode in Chengdu a few short years ago, when the most common street styles in Chengdu were either dull and utilitarian or cute and sparkly. Now, the clothing of the young and well-heeled shows an awareness of international clothing trends and brands....

Pete Sweeney (more chengdu)
Chengdu, while beautiful, gets cold come winter. My favorite place to warm up is a traditional Chinese bath, and He Ri Jun Hot Springs is convenient, cheap, and comprehensive.
The concept of the Chinese spa can be daunting for those who don't know what to expect. First, a Chinese bath is...
