Chengdu Guide
Address:
No. 130 Shanxie Jie The staff at Sam’s would prefer to play on the computer and ignore you, so be persistent. They can however book plane, train, and bus tickets as well as package tours, so try to be patient. The singles (10$/person) and doubles (7$/person) are worn out , but the Western style bathrooms are a nice perk. The dorms are worth the value and clean...enough.
Address:
At corner of Qingyang Shangjie and Huanhua Beilu Just outside the west 1st ring road is Chengdu’s largest art market, Songxianqiao Art City. Local foreigners and travelers alike will be able to find whatever it is they are looking for here. However, the market is not cheap and a shopkeeper will obviously try to milk a foreigner for as much as he or she can.

Choose eco-friendly travel, Become a Green Traveler, and Make sure future generations can enjoy our wondrous earth!
Traveling Green Starts With You
l Transportation
Reduce your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Whenever possible, make transportation choices that reduce your “Carbon Footprint,” and offset the CO2 that you do emit by contributing to “Multiple-Benefit” afforestation. If you truly care about the environment, plant a tree!
l Your Pocketbook
Do not purchase illegally traded animals, plants or products, such as shark fin, wild orchid, primates, turtles and snakes. Instead, buy locally produced foods and handicrafts and support native communities.
l Respect Local Culture
Learn about local history and traditions; find positive ways to experience local culture.
l Follow the Rules
Become familiar with local rules, and, when in nature, do not approach, hunt or otherwise endanger wildlife. Also, do not catch wild fish or pick wild plants, and take precautions to prevent wildfires and protect your personal safety.
l Conserve and Prevent Waste
Bring your own reusable bags and containers, and use eco-friendly bathing products when you travel. Make sure not to litter, throw away batteries, or use plastic bags.
Traveling Green simply means taking responsibility for your impact on the environment. You also can help conservation workers monitor wildlife and share the importance of protecting nature with others.
l Recording your travels can produce many benefits. Through the lens of your camera, you can capture the beauty of your experiences, provide important information to conservation workers, and create a wonderful canvas to share the importance of protecting nature with others.
Calculate your CO2+Plant Trees = Less Climate Change and a Happier Earth
l Realize your potential to reduce energy use, decrease CO2 emissions and protect forests by using the carbon calculator. The ability of trees to absorb CO2 and slow down the trend of climate change makes worldwide afforestation a necessary part of the solution.
The Calculator would love to know how many liters of gas you use to drive; calculating your carbon emissions is the first step! ![]() Carbon Calculator:HiNature Net’s Online “Carbon Calculator”
China’s first carbon calculating/tree planting online platform; you can easily find out CO2 emissions from a flight, driving, or from energy use at home or work, as well as discover how many trees you would need to plant to offset your emissions. The tree planting computation is based on the fact that, over 30 years, a fir tree can absorb 111 kilograms of CO2. This network will give you concrete details on how and where you can offset your carbon emissions through afforestation. Labor Week “Travel Green Photo Competition”
