Chunxi Road, IFS and Taikoo Li form Chengdu’s central modern shopping and dining district, with dense pedestrian movement and several levels of entrances.
For foreign visitors, the useful plan is not only what to see but which entrance, identity document, transport connection and exit make the visit work. Save “春熙路·成都太古里” in Chinese before leaving your hotel.
Quick answer
Use Chunxi Road station as the anchor, connect IFS and Taikoo Li on foot, and save a precise mall entrance for meeting or ride-hailing.
