Chengdu Can Do

Andrew and I traveled to Chengdu, a city of 10 million in southern China, last week. Intel has a site there and Andrew had a week of meetings and I, having plenty of time on my hands, joined him for half of the week and the weekend. 


The area's top two tourist attractions are the world's largest Buddha and a panda park (pandas being the favorite animal of the Chinese). Although for us, it had much more to offer... legit Mexican food @ Peter's Tex-Mex. For us, that was definitely the highlight of the trip. It also has a larger array of Western restaurants including a chic place owned by an American couple called the Lazy Pug, where we enjoyed a delicious pulled pork and buffalo chicken sandwich. It was a fun trip.

  1. Looks and sounds fantastic, Tanya. Etihad Airlines (where I work) just started flights to Chengdu so we've been considering a trip there. I think your photos just cinched it. Would love to know more about exactly where you went and especially where those restaurants are - we don't get much (strike that) any good Tex-Mex here either and BBQ? they haven't heard of it. :)
