With a Japanese camera, any shot will look like something straight out of a magazine. - Chengdu's outdoor, architectural, and cultural landscapes are incredibly beautiful at night. Night mode on your phone is a must-have. The night shots of the Twin Towers and the Global Center are worth taking a look at. - The East Suburbs Memory Park is large, so comfortable shoes are recommended. There are plenty of cafes and cultural and creative shops on site for a break. - Please check the attractions' operating hours for your itinerary. Some areas close admission in the afternoon or at 5:00 PM, so be sure to plan ahead! 🚖 Transportation Tips - Staying in the High-tech Zone or the city center provides convenient access to various attractions. We recommend taking Didi or a taxi to the Panda Base. - East Suburbs Memory Park is accessible by subway Line 8, exiting Chengdu Industrial Museum Station. 🌶️ Food Recommendations - There are many Sichuan restaurants and hotpot shops near Chengdu Global Center, so you can stop by after your visit. - The cultural and creative shops within East Suburbs Memory Park often sell hand-poured coffee and cakes, perfect for those hipsters! #ChengduNightView #PandaCrush #CulturalCreativeCheck-In #ModernCity #TravelStrategy
