It is very easy to getting around Chengdu by any public transportation from the LOFT.The 1st and ONLY hostel in Chengdu designed by local artist. The building itself was a former printing factory went bankrupt in 1990s, till 2005 a group of local artist found this building and spent almost 7 months to turn this factory into a super cool hostel, a home away from home for backpackers.
