Hop on Chengdu's metro and make Xihe Station your adventure launchpad! The aroma of Sichuan spices hits you the moment you exit—surrounded by hole-in-the-wall eateries serving fiery hotpot and dan dan noodles. Perfectly connected to attractions like the Panda Base (just 20 mins away), this spotless station with crystal-clear signage makes navigation a breeze. Pro tip: Grab legendary hong you chao shou dumplings at the unassuming stall near Exit B, then cool down with artisan tea next door. Your taste buds will thank you!
