We went early in the morning and saw the pandas more active, so it was definetly worth it. The feeding of the red pandas was so cute, they were so fluffy and excited for food! We spent 4 hours just walking around the park, it felt like 2. We had a lot of fun!
Quite a fun experience looking at the Panda, but the place is quite huge to walk around. Must buy their shuttle bus tickets and go in early to see everything!

The Sanxingdui Museum is truly one of the most awe-inspiring museums I've visited this year, standing tall alongside the East Building of the Shanghai Museum. Walking through it feels like traveling through a realm of gods and immortals. Bronze sacred trees reach heaven and earth, golden masks radiate with brilliance, and every artifact seems to carry the breath of ancient Shu shamans. They are so unfamiliar, yet they strike so powerfully with the modern soul—the creativity and spiritual tension born of mystical faith are almost chilling.
We often assume history is linear, but Sanxingdui, with its surreal gestures, reminds us: civilization has always been diverse, and the unknown far outweighs the known. Standing before these artifacts, I feel not only beauty but also a human inquiry, unfaded by the sifting of time.
I have to write a review very carefully!!! Mr. Wenjun is the best museum guide I've had in recent years. He speaks at a leisurely pace and provides pictures and videos. He combines historical facts, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, traditional myths and legends, the 24 solar terms, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and other content to explain the cultural relics of Sanxingdui. The three-hour content is coherent and complete. I hope to have the opportunity to invite Mr. Wenjun to explain it to me next time I visit the Jinsha Museum.

It exceeded my expectations. I originally thought it was just a thatched cottage, but in 2024, the Li Du Hall was newly opened. It has the intersecting stories of Li Bai and Du Fu, as well as the chronology of famous Tang Dynasty poets displayed in the form of rulers. The museum has good greenery, many inscriptions and calligraphy, and rich cultural landscapes.
It is still worth a visit. The environment is quiet and beautiful, and you can be influenced by the art of the poet. There is an exhibition hall that sorts the famous poems of the early Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the middle Tang Dynasty, and the late Tang Dynasty in chronological order with the corresponding poets. Many famous poems match each other.

A must-see when visiting Chongqing is the Chongqing Zoo. It's completely different from your typical zoo; it's a comprehensive park: part park, part amusement park, and part zoo. The environment is fantastic, perfect for a stroll or a few boxing sessions. Interacting with all sorts of adorable animals during a stroll is a truly delightful experience.
To be honest, the zoo ticket is really worth it. There are so many animals in it, which is very suitable for children to play. Next time I come to Chongqing, I will definitely bring my children with me.

"Nature is the greatest healer,
All things nourish each other..."
Dense forests,
The fragrance of the mountains,
The rustling wind,
Mixed with the unique fragrance of August osmanthus,
The flowing stream,
Carrying falling leaves far away,
The sporadic rain,
Bringing the unique refreshing coolness of autumn~
It's been a long time since I last saw Gungun.
We just happened to catch his lunch (around 1:30 PM) [Victory]
Even the pandas 🐼 know to eat their main meal—bamboo shoots—first,
and then their snacks—pumpkin and apples. How sweet!
The crisp crunch of this national treasure eating is so moving.
He ate with such relish!
We set off in the early morning, enveloped in a cool, drizzling rain. Our chartered car journeyed along the wet mountain road, the mist tinting the distant trees a hazy green.
The rain had just subsided when we arrived at Panda Valley. Furry red pandas curled up on tree branches, like balls of orange fur, occasionally rubbing their faces with their paws. Giant pandas munched on wooden racks, their dark eyes brimming with naivete. The rain dampened the bamboo leaves, but it didn't disturb the little creatures' leisurely pace, adding a refreshing and pleasant touch to this morning's journey.

It was absolutely stunning! The Sichuan Opera face-changing performance alone was worth the price of admission. The 70-minute program was tightly paced, and the instructors' performances were solid. Every single number was captivating, especially the finale: the fire-breathing and Sichuan Opera face-changing performances. It absolutely rocked the house, drawing constant applause! Some of the performances even had interactive segments, which added a lot of emotional value. It was fantastic!
The whole show is amazing. Its the best i have seen. Must watch. Even if you already watched elsewhere. You got to give it a chance to view. The content is superb.

This is a large, comprehensive museum that is open to the public free of charge. It is located next to Tianfu Square in the center of Chengdu. It has convenient transportation, numerous exhibition rooms, rich collections, detailed explanations, and a full range of service facilities.
The Chengdu Museum is still worth a visit. It helps to understand the history of Chengdu. The teacher explained it in detail for 3 hours without a break. Fortunately, I found a teacher, otherwise it would be too late to see it by myself.

Overall, the experience is good. The first floor mainly displays natural mineral resources, the second floor displays the steps and life of Sichuan dinosaurs, and the third and fourth floors have various animal specimens. It is a good choice to take children to science popularization.
It's definitely worth a visit! I like the dinosaur fossil and mineral exhibition halls the most. The other animal models are also very lifelike, and the plush cultural products in the hall are so cute!
