People’s Park
Qingyang, China
People's Park is a good place to slow down in central Chengdu. Paths lead past water, planted gardens and memorials, while its teahouses give you a reason to stay in one spot for a while. Rather than rushing around every corner, choose a table, order tea and watch the park's social life unfold. It works particularly well between museum visits or shopping, when a busy itinerary needs a more relaxed hour.
