Chengdu enjoys a strategic location and has been an important stop on the “Silk Road” since ancient times. It is also the birthplace of tea, with a tea-drinking history spanning over two thousand years. With its rich tourism resources and natural cultural heritage such as Jiuzhaigou and the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, Chengdu has long gained international fame, attracting global travelers in droves. Forbes has ranked Chengdu as one of the fastest-growing cities in the world; UNESCO awarded Chengdu the title of “City of Gastronomy,” making it the first city in Asia to receive this honor.
The Ritz-Carlton, Chengdu by Fuli is located in the modern city center adjacent to Tianfu Square, featuring 353 uniquely designed, comfortable guest rooms. The room designs are inspired by Chengdu’s traditional old streets and alleyways, subtly blending oriental charm with modern luxury. Every detail reflects a deep respect for classical culture while meeting the needs of today’s travelers.
