The Chengdu Planning Exhibition Hall is an urban planning museum in the High-tech Zone of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. It is also known by its Chinese name, 成都市规划展示馆. Its subject is the city itself: how Chengdu has grown over time and how it plans to develop in the years ahead.
What you will see
The museum presents the city's development history and its future plans through interactive displays and scale models. For many visitors, the models are the centre of the visit, since they make the layout of a large, modern city easy to grasp at a glance. The displays are designed to be explored rather than only read, which suits a visit with children or anyone curious about how cities are shaped.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in architecture, city planning or urban design
- Travellers who want a clear overview of Chengdu before exploring its neighbourhoods
- Families looking for an indoor visit with hands-on exhibits
Because the hall focuses on a single theme, it works well as a short stop rather than a full day out. It can be combined with other visits in the city, and the High-tech Zone where it stands is a practical base for seeing the modern side of Chengdu.
Getting there
The museum is located at 88 Jiaozi Avenue, High-tech Zone, Chengdu, Sichuan 610041. Visitors who want to confirm details before going can call +86-28-85339600.
