If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 40 miles away, Chengdu is worth hopping in the car for. Tianfu Square, New Century Global Center and Taikoo Li alone justify the drive. The locals will also probably point you toward Deyang, 55 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Donghu Mountain Park. (But we’d also highly recommend Deyang Sports Center and Stone Carving Wall.)
