Ikea has an amazing bargain which I wish I had known about over the past three years. We often have to come to Chengdu for different trainings so knowing about this little gem of a bargain would have been useful.
What is the bargain?
1. If you fill out the paperwork, you can get a free Ikea Family card. With this card, you can receive a FREE bottomless cup of real coffee every day except on weekends.
2. Between 2-5 pm on weekdays Ikea has happy hour where various items are marked at half price. For example, a plate of 10 meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy usually costs 15 RMB ($2.35), but during happy hour, this wonderful plate of yumminess costs only 7 RMB about the same price as rice covered with a Chinese dish at your local hole in the wall.
3. Ikea has FREE wi-fi.
How does one get to Ikea?
From Sichuan University, take bus 76 going west (away from the university). The closest bus stop is across the street from McDonald's. When the bus has passed through an underpass, you are getting close. Wait one more stop and get off at the supermarket Auchan (full of cheaper western food than Sabrina's). Ikea is behind the Galleria and Auchan.
Take the Metro and get off at the South Railway Station stop.
