Chengdu shopping, just like shopping in so many other parts of China, is a veritable Aladdin\u2019s cave of delights.<\/p>\n

Now we will cover Chengdu shopping malls in this tribute to commerce, fashion, food, and fads. But more importantly, we\u2019ll also take you down the lesser-known alleys and out-of-the-way alcoves that only Chengdu locals frequent. To visit, one must simply be \u2018in the know\u2019. And once you\u2019re done with this article about Chengdu shopping, you will be exactly that.<\/p>\n

One caveat though.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find famous Chengdu food discoveries here. We\u2019ve covered that elsewhere.<\/a> Yes, it\u2019s true. Chengdu is famous for its food. It just isn\u2019t possible, however, to count the vast array of local Chengdu food specialties like Sichuan peppercorns, pixian doubanjiang (bean paste), chili powder, hot pot soup base, and myriad other famous food snacks. Notwithstanding custom import limitations around foods in many Western countries, we think your bags will be filled with so many other treasures from your Chengdu shopping expeditions, there probably won\u2019t be room for much else.<\/p>\n

So, with that out on the table, let\u2019s jump into shopping in Chengdu like a local.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
