Chengdu’s buses are somewhat sweaty and crowded, especially at rush hours. However, at only Y1 per ride, Y2 for double deckers, they are certainly an affordable means of transportation. The no. 16 and 99 buses are the most useful, travelling north/south on Renmin Lu between Chengdu’s north and south railway stations. Try to pick up an English city map at your hostel/hotel or one of the foreign language book stores. There is one at the intersection of the south 1st ring road and Kehua Beilu. These maps have a complete listing of bus routes.
The North Railway Station is the main train station is Chengdu’s main train station. It is located at the north end of the Renmin Lu, Chengdu’s main thoroughfare, at the junction with the north second ring road. Many buses go to the train station: 2, 9, 11, 16, 24, 27, 28, 34, 36, 44, 52, 54, 55, 64, 65, 70, 85, 303, and 402. Ticket windows are on the first floor of the station.
When traveling in Sichuan province you will likely be riding many buses. Sichuan’s railway system is rather incomplete when compared with other provinces in the east of China. Xinnanmen bus station is Chengdu’s most important bus station. Two to three buses depart every hour for major nearby tourist attractions such as the Great Buddha at Leshan (1.5 hours) and Emei Mountain (2 hours). There are also buses to more distant popular destinations such Jiuzhaigou (10-11 hrs), Kangding (7-9 hrs), and Daocheng (a few days!). A bus schedule is listed below.
Chengdu’s recently renovated airport is a 20-30 minute taxi ride from the city center or a 30-40 minute bus ride. Bus no. 303 to the airport can be picked up next to the Minshan Hotel on Renmin Nanlu a few hundred meters south of Tianfu Square. The bus ticket costs Y10.
As in most places in China, biking is an excellent way to get around for both visitors and locals alike. Chengdu is very flat, and plenty of wide bike lanes well separated from vehicular traffic make biking safe as well. You shouldn't worry too much about local Chinese bikers and mopeds, as I find most Chengdu residents ride at very easy, safe speeds. Most hostels are able to rent out bikes for usually no more than 20 Yuan per day.
