Jiuyanqiao is a nice area right across the river from Sichuan University, and is well connected to public transport. First Ring Road runs right outside the building, making it easy to take taxi and bus. Niuwangmiao Subway Station on Line 2 is a couple minutes walking distance away. Like any good area in Chengdu, it has ample restaurants and bars to cater to anyone. Lan Kui Fang and the bar area north of Sichuan Univ are all in walking distance.
