There's much more to Chengdu than pandas, hotpot and traditional attractions.
Eastern Suburb Memory is a former industrial area that has been transformed into one of the city's most interesting creative districts.
You can still see old factory buildings and industrial details, but today the area is filled with cafés, exhibitions, cultural spaces, street art and people simply spending the afternoon here.
It's especially worth adding if you enjoy seeing how old parts of a city are being reused rather than completely replaced.
