Very good metro
Oct 2019 • Family
The metro is very fast and efficient. During my stay in Chengdu, the metro did not breakdown at all. You can pay using cash though it can be quite particular in the notes and coins it accepts. Super clean as well!

Good Metro system
Aug 2019
The portions I was on were relatively new, with escalators at the stations. This is especially helpful to those with luggage, and heavy things to carry. For example, Beijing's older Metro stations generally do not have escalators, making it difficult, especially for the elderly, to carry heavy loads down and up. The subway cars are nice, and I found it easy to get around on Lines 1, 2, 7 and 10.

Chengdu Metro a great way to get around Chengdu
Aug 2019
If you're travelling to Chengdu the Chengdu Metro is a very convenient and efficient way to get around the city. The metro serves all of Chengdu's main attraction, and it convenient ad very good value. Chengdu is a very expansive city, and taxis can cost quite a lot, plus they are often stuck in traffic etc. Whereas the Metro is always on time, it allows you to get to all of the city's main areas and outskirts, and it low cost.
The Metro is very popular so if you can avoid peak hours, as it gets very crowded.

This place is unreal. We are giving not the highest star as we felt this sort of efficiency could only be simulated in a video game. Unbelievable

Maps?
Jun 2019 • Solo
This is an excellent subway system that is easy to navigate but it really would help if the management spent a few yuan sticking up a few maps of the system to help passengers plan their journeys.

All the self service tickets machines display in Chinese but all have an English button in the bottom right of the screen. Take a photo of the English language system on the ticket machine before you buy your first ticket.

Excellent way to travel around Chengdu.
Apr 2019 • Family
The Chengdu metro is very clean and efficient. Trains are air conditioned and not as crowded as Shanghai or Beijing (at least not yet). Highly recommend to get the Tianfu Tong card to save time buying metro tickets. The card costs 30RMB but you get discounted fares every time you use it and you can keep it as a souvenir.

One of the best metros I have used...
Jan 2018 • Family
The subway in Chengdu is fabulous:cheap (less than$1 USD for most journeys), clean, efficient, and easy to use even if you do not know Mandarin. The automatic ticket dispenser has an English option and is quite simple to use. Just click English in the lower right corner, and take it from there. Look up your destination by name or map, choose number of passengers, and purchase the ticket. Fares vary by distance. You can also purchase a frequent use card at the same machine and top it off as needed. To get to the train, walk through the security area at each entry (if you have a bag of any sort it has to go through a scanner). Scan your card/pass and go towards the rail line and direction you need. Lines are all color coded with good directional signage in Mandarin and English. Inside the cars shows direction and each stop, and announcements for each stop are made in Mandarin and English. When exiting the station at your destination, you will scan your pass again. If you bought a single journey ticket, it will be collected in a slot as you exit. Although you can get just about anywhere you need to go in Chengdu, including the airport, there are additional lines still under construction.

Great way to get around
Sep 2019 • Couples
This is not an attraction, but it is an efficient and inexpensive way to get around town. It did not exist at all, for that matter the airport has been substantially upgraded since I was here 17 years ago. Buy a card and load it with yuan as needed fut 50 yuan will likely cover almost a week of travel.

I found myself on The Metro one afternoon. Thankfully there are directions in English. Best way to get around. Clean and quick.
