Itinerary

  1. Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

    3 hours Admission included

    The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is more than just a place to see pandas—it’s an educational experience that highlights the challenges and triumphs of panda conservation. Informative exhibits and displays throughout the base provide insights into the biology, behavior, and conservation status of giant pandas. You’ll learn about the threats they face in the wild, such as habitat loss and climate change, and the ongoing efforts to protect them.

    One of the highlights of a visit to the base is the opportunity to witness the pandas during their feeding times, when they are most active. Watching a panda expertly peel and eat bamboo is a fascinating experience that showcases their unique adaptations and behaviors. For those interested in a more in-depth experience, the base offers special programs, such as volunteer opportunities or behind-the-scenes tours, where you can learn about the daily care and management of these incredible animals.

  2. Yuantong Ancient Town

    3 hours Admission included

    This ancient town is known as 'Little Chengdu of a Thousand Years' and 'the living Qingming Riverside Scroll.'

    most of ours have gone the way of over-commercializationrow after row of identical snack stalls and souvenir shops. That’s exactly why I’ve handpicked Yuantong Ancient Town in Chongzhou for you.

    It’s off the tourist radar,a place where local Chengdu residents actually head to on weekends and holidays. This is the town they call the real-life Qingming Riverside Scroll of western Sichuan. There’s no faux-antique replica architecture here; what survives is the unscripted, everyday rhythm of life that has flowed through these streets for centuries. To me, it’s Chengdu’s truest hidden gem.

    With a history stretching back over 1,600 years, Yuantong sits at the confluence of three rivers,the Wenjing, Weijiang, and Bojiang and was once a thriving water and land hub on the western Sichuan Plain.
