It was a lonely stroll. The pandas all hid behind the glass to enjoy the air conditioning, so I could only see them through the glass. There were also so many people that I spent most of the time walking around in circles outside and couldn't see the pandas at all. The environment was still pretty good at some point.
Families, don't miss the Giant Panda Breeding Base when you visit Chengdu!
Entering the base, you're greeted by a lush greenery and fresh air, feeling like you've stepped into the pandas' natural home. The grounds are enormous, offering ample space for the pandas to roam freely. The living quarters are incredibly comfortable, reminiscent of their natural habitat.
There are a surprising number of pandas here, representing all ages. Early in the morning, we spotted many pandas at work. Some feasted on bamboo, their cheeks puffing out; others strolled leisurely across the grass; and still others played playfully on the climbing frames, their chubby faces captivating everyone. The red panda enclosure is also incredibly fun, with the adorable, reddish-brown creatures darting about the trees.
The base also offers excellent educational opportunities, including a museum and a science center, offering insights into pandas' habits, breeding practices, and conservation status. The staff and volunteers are incredibly welcoming and patiently answer any questions.
The cultural and creative shop also has a wide selection of goods, including incredibly cute and exquisitely crafted panda merchandise. I bought tons of them as souvenirs.
The only caveat is that the area is packed with tourists, so it's best to leave early and head straight for popular areas like the Moon Delivery Room as soon as it opens. This way, you'll have an easier time seeing the adorable pandas! I highly recommend it; it's totally worth the trip!

If you don't want a tour guide and just want to see the dam, you still need to get an audio guide. It is recommended that the scenic area put audio guides for rent at each gate, so that many tourists who do not want a tour guide can rent an audio guide at different locations and return it when they leave, without having to go back.
It's a place worth visiting. The panoramic view from Yanshi Tower is great. The bridge is very good. It's ok to watch the show. It has local characteristics. I went to pay my respects to Li Bing and his wife, father and son, and their family. Erlang Shen is in the main hall, and Li Bing and his wife are in the back hall. Starting from Yanshi Tower, the whole journey is not tiring. The Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge is beautiful.

Sanxingdui is truly impressive, with such a vast area and so many artifacts unearthed! Unfortunately, it was hard to get tickets during the summer vacation, so I had to choose this product. The blind box is so small, and the price-performance ratio is not high. Plus, Sanxingdui was packed with parents and children, which was exhausting!
The Sanxingdui cultural relics exhibits are dazzling, and the historical and cultural heritage is long and profound. The cultural and creative products and interactive areas are very creative. I lingered and look forward to coming again next time. I also recommend the tour guide Momo. The basic skills of the explanation are solid and the content is rich. I benefited a lot. Her attitude is gentle and very professional!

The tickets are a bit expensive, but the overall environment is good. There are not many things left by Du Fu, and most of them are newly renovated. The weather is hot and it is a bit stuffy inside, but everything else is good.
The Thatched Cottage is large and has a particularly beautiful environment, with shady trees, lotus ponds, and schools of koi, perfect for a quiet experience. After continuous renovations, the heritage has been continuously enhanced. In today's world of internal competition and constant anxiety, you can feel the peace and relaxation that the Thatched Cottage brings.

The scenery was beautiful. It was drizzling when we started climbing in the morning. Once we reached the Golden Summit, the sky cleared up and we could see the snow-capped mountains and the sea of clouds in the distance. The scenery was truly stunning. I'll definitely come back again.
The discount for college students is quite good. I saw the sea of clouds, sunrise and Buddha's light on this trip. The facilities are very good, especially the direct bus to the scenic area can be taken from the high-speed rail station. Thank you

The setting is wonderful, and the exhibitions on the Three Kingdoms and the imperial examinations are worth a closer look. The order of the statues in the corridors of civil and military officials on either side of Liu Bei Hall is particularly intriguing; I spent a long time studying them before I could grasp the rationale. Furthermore, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's altar table provided a great platform for interaction, and it was fascinating to see the modern tributes presented to him. From coffee and heartfelt notes to Dongfeng Express and playing cards, it was truly moving!
I rushed here after getting off the plane. Tickets in Chengdu are very friendly, with free entry for people under 1.3 meters. Taxis are also cheap. I hired an official guide at the entrance, who gave a brief introduction to the Three Kingdoms characters. It was pretty good.

ช่วงที่ไปคนเยอะมาก เด็กเยอะ เดินขึ้นบันไดเยอะ เดินลงบันไดเยอะ ไม่มีสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกสำหรับผู้พิการ ป้ายบอกทางมีชัดเจนดี มีเป็นภาษาอังกฤษแต่เจ้าหน้าที่ พูดแต่จีน ไม่ยอมพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วย สำหรับคนต่างชาติที่ ต้องการไป ก็เข้าที่ north gate เลนขวาสุด จะมีเจ้าหน้าที่จะเอาพาสปอร์ตไปเช็คให้ค่ะ ถ้าใครอยากเที่ยวต่อที่ใกล้ๆกันเลยก็คือ Oriental Buddha Capital ค่าเข้า 80 หยวน
Entering from the east gate, it's a short walk to the Buddha's head. It's especially crowded in the summer, so waiting in line for half an hour to get to the foot platform can be quite long. The area is quite large, and exploring it completely would probably take a whole day. Just visiting the several Buddha heads and the main temples would take five or six hours. There are plenty of restaurants just outside the entrance for food.

Asked about Qingcheng Mountain. Originally, because of the high return of Tokugawa West, the family went to Qingcheng Mountain. The scenery was good, but there was no big surprise. However, the Taoist culture is really recommended. Only those who understand it will understand.
I've long heard of Mount Qingcheng, and when visiting Chengdu, how could I not climb it?
The weather wasn't kind, and it rained heavily. Although I was soaked, Mount Qingcheng is even more breathtaking in the rain.
Mount Qingcheng is divided into two scenic areas: the Front Mountain and the Back Mountain. The Front Mountain is primarily devoted to Taoist culture, while the Back Mountain is dominated by natural landscapes.
The steps on Mount Qingcheng are steep, narrow, and somewhat continuous. The climb to the summit involves several steep, steep sections, which is quite steep. This makes the scenery seem even more profound. Along the way, towering ancient trees and gurgling streams are seen. Occasionally, large and small waterfalls hang from the cliffs, and clouds and mist billow. The ancient architecture and Taoist culture complement each other beautifully, and the moss-covered roofs give off a sense of age.
You can ascend the Front Mountain by cable car, which is easier, but you won't be able to see the ancient buildings. Alternatively, you can hike up and down the mountain, following a clockwise loop without backtracking. This method is more physically demanding and the descent is steeper and more challenging than the ascent, which can be tough on your knees. I chose to climb up the mountain and take the cable car down, so I could see almost all the cultural attractions and climb the mountain. Oh, and there is a small Yuecheng Lake there. The boat ticket is 5 yuan one way. If your legs are shaking after coming down the mountain, you can go out this way and save some climbing.

Altitude sickness is very serious, so be careful when taking children. My son is three years old and I didn't need to hold him the whole time, but I was still exhausted, dizzy and nauseous. It was too hard.
was a much longer trek to the 五彩池 than expected. worth hiking down and exploring the park as there is more to see than just the 五彩池 but do give yourself sufficient time to head down if you have a driver picking you. had to rush down the last section as we only allocated 4hours in the park.

The scenery is very beautiful. If the weather is good, you can take better photos. It is very beautiful. After entering the scenic area, you can take a bus directly to the end point to play downstream. There are many scenic spots, which requires some physical strength. However, there are few tourists getting off at the last scenic spot. The bus basically relies on crowding. It is still about 10 kilometers down the mountain. Adults can squeeze and stand for a while, but children may be annoyed. I have no physical strength after playing for so long. The bus driver has good skills. There are many bends and narrow roads. You will be thrown up in minutes. Our child vomited all the way
not a must see as the views in 九寨沟/黄龙 are better although much more crowded. would only suggest it if you have too much time in Cheng Du. will only take about 3-4hours but more if you intend to see everything. each spot needs you to take the shuttle bus and are not really walkable. the lazy river ride down is an additional RMB90/pax but worth a try
