I'd say Chengdu is one of the more pleasant places to stroll, at least downtown.

One thing I appreciate about more and more Chinese cities is that they are creating decent pathways along canals, creeks, and rivers; Chengdu is one example of this.
Thanks that's very helpful! Yes, I guess my main fear was "killer traffic" or what felt a bit like it in some of the larger cities I visited in the past (though nowhere as scary as Jakarta and the likes!). Glad Chengdu sounds like one of the more practicable ones as I love walking and if I understand correctly, January should be a more pleasant time of the year to walk about than anything summery!
