Areas to be cautious

- Areas directly adjacent to major construction sites: While Chengdu is developing rapidly, some areas might be heavily impacted by noise, dust, and temporary disruptions, detracting from a pleasant tourist experience.
Insider tip: Try a traditional Sichuan tea house experience, especially in areas like People's Park, where you can enjoy local teas, snacks, and observe local life, often with ear cleaning services available.
