For stays beyond 30 days, apply for a visa at a Chinese embassy or consulate before departure.
MRT East West Line (Changi Airport branch) connects the airport to the city in 30–45 minutes from City Hall or Raffles Place (S$2.20–2.50 with EZ-Link). Trains run from 5:31am to 11:18pm (T1/T2/T3). Terminal 4 is served by a dedicated shuttle bus from T2.Taxis from Orchard Road cost S$20–35 and take 20–30 minutes. Grab is widely used and slightly cheaper. Airport surcharges apply for taxis departing from the city to the airport (S$3–5 depending on peak hours). The trip is short; Singapore's island geography keeps distances manageable.
Follow signs to the Metro Line 18 station inside the terminal. The express service reaches Chengdu South Railway Station in 35 minutes (CNY 10), where you can transfer to Lines 1, 7, or 18 local stops for the rest of the city. To reach Tianfu Square, transfer at Century City and take Line 1 north (total about CNY 30, 55-65 minutes).
Airport buses depart from the ground transport center outside arrivals. Line 1 to Chunxi Road takes 60-80 minutes (CNY 15 daytime, CNY 25 after 23:30). Taxis queue at the designated rank and use meters; budget CNY 180-260 to central Chengdu. DiDi pickup is on the east side of arrivals and runs cheaper than taxis at CNY 90-130 to city center destinations.
Chengdu sits in the Sichuan Basin with a humid subtropical climate. Summers (June-September) hit 22-29 degrees C with heavy monsoon rain. Half the annual 1000mm of rainfall lands in these four months, arriving as afternoon thunderstorms. Winters (December-February) average 3-8 degrees C and stay overcast. Frost is rare but the persistent cloud cover and dampness make it feel colder than the numbers suggest.
Chengdu is one of the cloudiest cities in China with roughly 200 overcast days per year and only 1000 hours of annual sunshine. Spring warms unevenly with cold snaps into April. Autumn (late September-November) is the most comfortable stretch with clear-ish skies and mild temperatures. Pack layers and rain gear regardless of season; an umbrella earns its place year-round here.
