<p>Homeless Pelican takes us on a whirlwind journey through Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, a city he finds far more surprising and vibrant than the media portrays. Starting at Tianfu Square, he notes the blend of modern and traditional architecture, then heads to People's Park, a green oasis where he encounters friendly locals and practices Tai Chi with his HoverAir X1 Pro Max drone. He explores the bustling Kuanzhai Alley, a maze of Qing-era lanes packed with street food, pandas everywhere, and a joyful chaos.</p><p>A visit to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is a highlight, where he learns about conservation and sees baby pandas up close for just 55 yuan. He then marvels at the world's largest building, the New Century Global Center, before bravely trying Fei Changfen—pig intestines—at a local spot, finding the noodles and soup excellent. The Tower of Life bamboo fountains at night provide a spectacular, free light show (and a soaking for the vlogger).</p><p>Day two begins at the stunning Dujiangyan Zhongshuge Infinity Bookstore, a mirrored architectural wonder in the suburbs. He then visits the 100-year-old Guanyin Pavilion Teahouse, an authentic gem where he drinks endless cups of jasmine tea and learns local tea rituals. The Science Fiction Museum, with its free entry and trippy exhibits, showcases Chengdu's futuristic side. He ends the day ends with a visit to the Anshun Bridge, a failed attempt at a winning game, and the glowing Chunxi Road, where a 3D screen and street performers solidify his impression of Chengdu as a city of warm, open people and endless surprises. Despite a cold shower and a frustrating hotel experience, the vlogger declares Chengdu one of his favorite Chinese cities, a place where old traditions and sci-fi futures collide.</p>
