Encounter the flash and glam of Chunxi Road, Chengdu’s electrifying shopping Mecca that draws crowds in the thousands looking to shop, relax, and unwind or even people-watch whilst feasting on a cone of Hagen Daaz. Its downtown location means that it is never too far from a quality hotel in Chengdu China to host your shopping and cultural excursions, and the M Hotel Chengdu poses an excellent option of a luxury hotel Chengdu has to offer its visitors. The stores here vary from bargain to high-end selections, and the latter are usually located in the air-conditioned malls on the Chunxi strip. Yanshikou is the area for bargain hunters looking for fabulous deals on a variety of clothing and accessories. Taisheng Lu, north of Chunxi Road, is where tech geeks and cell phone nuts will find everything under the sun. Along the strip, you will also encounter a range of great international and local cuisine options to sample when you’re tired of walking. So park yourself near the iconic statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen (the Father of the Nation), and slurp down a cone or two of refreshing haagen daaz ice cream, located nearby. Come on, you deserve it!
