The subway system is relatively easy to use.  They have the single trip ticket that goes as low as 2 RMB for a stop, and a 20 RMB option that is valid for a day. The trains are clean, comparable to the ones in Singapore and Hong Kong, and cleaner than the ones in New York city. It is definitely the best option, especially if  you are travelling within the city as traffic congestion can be unbearable during peak hours.

However, I WAS BITTEN BY A RED PANDA. The enclosure for the Red Pandas have holes in the gates so the pandas can run from area to area. This was not on any of the signage so I was surprised to see a panda run right across the path in front of me. There are signs that say to be quiet and a different sign that something to the effect that these pandas can be aggressive. I was quietly walking through the enclosure, taking photos w

So impressed with the Chengdudong railway station! As the largest and I used a high-speed train from Chongqing to get here (cost 144元) to be honest, I get confused, haha. So crowded, and I need to get out here first and looking for a taxi to go to Home Inn. On the last day, I get back to school by myself; I need to get the ticket first in the locket and queue with the Chinese citizen and then get inside the lounge by showing my passport. A vast panoramic windows inside! It was a forget able moment; tbh I get nervous here. I don't know why, haha

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
