  2. Rank 1. Yu Zhi Lan

    Sichuan Noodle Shop

    A four-room garden villa on a quiet leafy street, with just 18 covers and no menu to choose from. This intimate fine dining restaurant serves set menus built around chef Lan Guijun's signature Sichuan cooking, where a dish like hand-pulled Golden Thread Noodles arrives as something closer to a statement than a snack. Anthony Bourdain made it one of his first stops in Chengdu, which tells you roughly what kind of place this is.

  4. Rank 3. Co-

    Modern Chinese

    Five tables in a warm wood-clad room, an open kitchen where chefs finish dishes in front of you, and a seasonal tasting menu that runs on produce from the team's own farm outside the city. Modern Chinese cooking shaped by French technique, Co- holds a Michelin star and a spot on The 50 Best Discovery list. Intimate enough that the meal feels less like a restaurant visit and more like being let in on something.

  14. Rank 14. Niccolo Chengdu

    Some rooms look straight down onto a centuries-old temple that the surrounding mall simply absorbed, which tells you something about how Chengdu works. This Forbes Four Star hotel sits at the top of the city's International Finance Square, and the rooms lean into the height: oversized windows, deep soaking tubs, 500-thread-count linen as standard. Yue Hin handles Cantonese, Sichuan and Huaiyang cooking; the Tea Lounge has its own sommelier.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
