Step out from Longquanyi Station Exit A and dive into Chengdu's vibrant soul! More than a transit hub, it's your gateway to Sichuan's spicy wonders - follow the aroma of hotpot alleys to hole-in-the-wall eateries where locals swear by the flavor. Time your visit for dusk when neon lights paint the plaza, perfectly capturing Chengdu's legendary "慢生活" (màn shēnghuó) ethos. Pro tip: Grab a milk tea from street vendors while mapping out your panda-basecamp route!
