In 2017 I had a Moscow - Chengdu flight via Beijing. It supposed  to be quick 3hour stop over. But it turns out to be an intersting scam.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan, which I call it Pandaria. It is my favorite city.  

Here is a list of places I would recommend to visit:

• Giant Panda Breeding Research Base
• Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street
• Tianfu square
• Indoor aquapark

In 2014 I visited Hua Shan(华山) mountain in Shaanxi province, China

The nearest big city is Xian. The journey to Hua Shan starts from old train station.
