Destination & City Travel Guide
About Chengdu
Chengdu has several reasons to stay beyond a brief airport connection. The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is best visited early, while Wuhou Shrine and nearby Jinli Street work well later in the day. Kuanzhai Alleys and People’s Park offer a different pace around tea and local snacks. Travellers from India should check that their ticket uses Shuangliu Airport, since Chengdu has another major airport at Tianfu. The two are far apart and require different transfers.

What's new in Chengdu
- December 2025: Metro Line 30 opened from Shuangliu Airport Terminal 2 East, adding a rail option across the southern urban districts.
- July 2026: Shuangliu Terminal 1 resumed international operations; EVA Air moved its Chengdu flights there from 31 July.
Tips for travellers from India
Chunxi Road is a useful hotel area for a city stay, while accommodation around Wuhou Shrine favours the shrine and Jinli Street. Neither location puts the panda base next door: that attraction belongs on a separate northern outing. Pair Wuhou and Jinli together, then reserve another part of the visit for People's Park and Kuanzhai Alleys.
Shuangliu has Metro Line 10 as well as the new Line 30 option at Terminal 2 East. Pick the route by the destination district and interchange, rather than assuming every airport train runs directly to the same central station. Tianfu Airport requires a different transfer plan altogether.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is another reason to spend time west of the main shopping streets. It can anchor a literary and garden visit instead of becoming a quick detour on a panda day. Keeping the panda base, Wuhou area and western cultural sights on distinct outings gives Chengdu a more realistic rhythm for a short visit.
Best time to visit Chengdu
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for outdoor visits.

Chengdu airport information
Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU). EVA Air's Chengdu arrivals and departures use Shuangliu Terminal 1 from 31 July 2026. Passengers connecting with another airline should confirm its airport as well as its terminal, because Tianfu is a separate airport.
About Frankfurt
Frankfurt can be seen in a compact central circuit despite its role as a major air hub. Römerberg anchors the old town, the Museum Embankment runs along the Main, and the Städel Museum merits time indoors. Palmengarten is a separate green stop. Frankfurt Airport has both local and long-distance rail stations, so travellers from India can reach the central station quickly or continue directly to another German city without entering the centre first.

What's new in Frankfurt
- April 2026: Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3 began operations, receiving airlines transferred from Terminal 2 and changing the departure building for those passengers.
- April 2026: The new Sky Line connection accompanied Terminal 3’s launch, linking it with the northern terminals and the airport railway stations.
Tips for travellers from India
A stay near Hauptbahnhof is useful for onward rail travel, while the old town suits a short visit centred on Römerberg and the river. The airport has separate regional and long-distance railway stations: local S-Bahn trains into Frankfurt and intercity trains do not necessarily use the same platforms. Read the service type before following a railway sign, particularly when connecting directly to another German city.
Terminal 3 is on the airport’s southern side. The new Sky Line takes about eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3, so a rail arrival still needs a terminal transfer for a flight departing there. In town, link Römerberg with a crossing of the Main and the Museum Embankment. The Städel is a substantial collection visit, while Palmengarten is a separate botanical-garden outing away from that river circuit. A short connection is better spent in one central cluster than split between the river museums and Palmengarten. Use the actual flight terminal for the return, since older Terminal 2 directions may be obsolete.
Best time to visit Frankfurt
May to September, roughly 12–25°C, for river walks and gardens.
