Dujiangyan Panda base & Irrigation System Private Day Tour

About this activity

This unique tour combines an unforgettable wildlife experience with a journey through ancient Chinese engineering. At the Dujiangyan Panda Base, you’ll have the rare opportunity to get up close to one of China’s most beloved national treasures—whether by observing their daily routines or participating in volunteer activities that support panda conservation.

In the afternoon, explore the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a marvel of ancient engineering that has been sustainably watering the Chengdu Plain for over 2,000 years. With its brilliant no-dam design, it reflects the ingenuity of ancient Chinese hydraulic engineering and is still in use today.

By blending nature, culture, and history, this private tour offers a deeper, more meaningful way to experience Sichuan—beyond what most typical tours provide.
