Hi, I’m Lila Jiang, a China travel professional with over 5 years of experience. During these five years, I’ve traveled extensively around China.Meanwhile, I have a certain understanding of the subway transportation in various cities. Chengdu’s metro system, one of the most rapidly expanding and user-friendly in Southwest China, is more than just a convenient mode of transportation—it’s the key to unlocking the city’s laid-back charm, ancient heritage, and thriving modern vibe.
With over 10 metro lines and more than 300 stations, Chengdu’s subway network connects nearly every major tourist attraction, historical site, and local neighborhood. Whether you’re here to visit world-famous pandas, wander through ancient temples, or savor spicy Sichuan cuisine in bustling alleys, the metro will get you there efficiently and affordably. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the Chengdu Metro Map, highlight the must-visit stations, and provide tips to help you plan a seamless and enjoyable metro journey in this cozy yet vibrant metropolis.
