Research 8 classified outdoor destinations within weekend reach of Chengdu, grouped across 6 kinds of place and ordered by measured straight-line distance from the city centre. Distances only — no travel times, schedules, or rankings.

Distances are great-circle kilometres between two published coordinates — this page does not publish travel times, transport schedules, opening hours, ticket prices, or rankings. Confirm access, facilities, and seasonal conditions with an official source before travelling.

Ordered by straight-line distance from Chengdu, closest first. Distance bands: nearby is up to 60 km, day-trip distance is up to 120 km, weekend distance is beyond 120 km.
