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.
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.
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for outdoor visits.
By Air: Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU) is about 16 km southwest of central Chengdu; Metro Line 10 connects with other lines, with central trips often taking 40–50 minutes. Taxis also operate.
By Rail: Chengdu has several high-speed rail stations; check the station printed on the ticket.
By Road: Airport taxis and city buses serve the centre; long-distance coaches leave from several terminals.

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.
London works best when visits are grouped by area. The British Museum and Bloomsbury can fill one half day, while Westminster and the South Bank offer a different walk along the Thames. Borough Market is close to several river sights, and Greenwich deserves its own trip. From Heathrow, the Elizabeth line, Underground and express rail service reach different parts of the city, so the useful transfer depends on the hotel rather than simply on speed to Paddington.
Paddington is convenient for Heathrow Express arrivals, but the Elizabeth line can be more useful for a hotel near Tottenham Court Road or farther east. Bloomsbury suits the British Museum and central walks; South Kensington suits the museum quarter. Compare the final station rather than only the advertised airport-train duration. Heathrow’s Piccadilly line takes another route through west London and can avoid a change for some addresses.
Air India uses Terminal 2, while British Airways operates from Terminals 3 and 5. An airline name alone therefore does not always identify the correct building. Within London, use the same contactless card or Oyster card when entering and leaving a rail service. Greenwich is a separate outing along the Thames, not a quick extension of a Westminster museum day. The V&A East sites are in the Olympic Park and should not be confused with the original V&A in South Kensington. Pair the east London museums with one another instead of crossing the city between their entrances.
May to September, commonly about 11–24°C, for longer daylight and outdoor walks.
By Air: Heathrow Airport (LHR) is about 25 km west of central London. Heathrow Express reaches Paddington in 15 minutes from Terminals 2 and 3; Elizabeth line, Underground, coaches and taxis are alternatives.
By Rail: Paddington, King’s Cross St Pancras and Waterloo are major rail hubs; the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line connect Heathrow with the city.
By Road: National Express coaches and local buses serve Heathrow; London buses and taxis cover the city.

Heathrow Airport (LHR). Air India operates from Heathrow Terminal 2. British Airways uses Terminals 3 and 5, so passengers should follow the terminal specified for their particular flight.
