Chengdu DOOH · Chunxi Road · Taikoo Li · Tianfu Square · June 2026
Western China's largest market with a metro near 21 million, from Chunxi Road to the Taikoo Li open-air district to Tianfu Square, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Chengdu actually moves.
Chengdu billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Chunxi Road, Tianfu New Area CBD and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Chengdu screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.20, with no contracts or minimums.

Location insights
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan and the largest city in western China, a fast-growing tech and consumer metropolis known for an easygoing lifestyle and a deep love of food and the giant panda. Chunxi Road carries daily foot traffic well over 300,000 across more than 700 shops, and the adjacent Taikoo Li open-air mall, with its famous naked-eye 3D LED wall, anchors the luxury and dining scene. Tianfu Square sits at the geographic center and metro hub. Buy the Chunxi Road weekend peak and the Taikoo Li evening dwell.
Taikoo Li and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Tianfu New Area CBD and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Chunxi Road shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Chengdu doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Chunxi Road + Taikoo Li | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Tianfu Square, Taikoo Li | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Tianfu New Area CBD, Chunxi Road | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | Jinli, Taikoo Li | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Chunxi Road, Kuanzhai Alley | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Chengdu’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Chengdu screen: the format (pricing runs higher on chengdu Metro transit screens than on ring-road & expressway digital), the zone (Chunxi Road carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Commute test
A week of bursts on the Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li core.
