The pandas at the panda breeding base are incredibly cute. I was so lucky to even encounter one that could roll around and catch butterflies. If the green vegetation managed by the pandas could grow a bit bigger, the streets wouldn't be so sunny. Perhaps because of COVID-19, they do look rather dashing when they walk.
Inside the Moon Nursery, several baby pandas were huddled together, fast asleep behind the glass wall, their round bodies curled up on the wooden frame like plush toys. Suddenly, a black and white panda rolled over, revealing its pink belly, and the visitors gasped – it was "He Ye" stretching! Just then, the keeper fed it an apple, and it grabbed the bamboo pole, tilting its head to eat the fruit in its adorable, goofy manner, eliciting chuckles from everyone.

Dujiangyan boasts beautiful scenery and a rich cultural atmosphere. Nearby is the South Bridge, where you can see the "blue tears" phenomenon (blue tears) illuminated by lights at night – a truly spectacular sight. It's recommended to watch videos and read articles on Bilibili and WeChat before your trip, or hire a professional guide at the scenic area to enhance the experience. Otherwise, it's not very enjoyable to explore alone. Currently, the price-performance ratio isn't great, and the service attitude of the scenic area staff could be improved. Additionally, it's a pity that Fulong Temple and Baopingkou were closed for renovations.
A drop in the ocean, perhaps twenty years from now, I'll revisit Dujiangyan and greet my younger self. I recommend hiking up the mountain and spending a little money to visit Yulei Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Dujiangyan.

Expert's Perspective — Zhou Huan's three-hour presentation brought warmth to the cold bronze and allowed the silent earth to speak. Every pattern tells a story, every pause is a journey through time. Under her gentle and meticulous guidance, Sanxingdui was no longer a mysterious symbol, but a tangible and vivid past. Imagine, think, feel—it was truly a wonderful journey.
Amazing artifacts displayed in a very well designed museum.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here; it's a lovely garden scenic spot. Du Fu was truly Du Fu—he knew how to choose a place to settle down! Although his own thatched cottage was very simple, the location he chose was truly beautiful and ideal for living. In short, I really liked this place! At first, I thought the ticket price was a bit expensive before going inside, but after walking around, I found it was definitely worth it.
If you're interested in Tang poetry, you definitely should go; it's best to rent an audio guide or hire a guide.
Even if you know nothing about it, it's still a great place to stroll around like in a park 👍 The maple leaves are red, and there are also ginkgo trees perfect for taking photos; the scenery is beautiful. There are also some museums and bonsai gardens where you can admire plants. Even a quick visit and some photos took over an hour, and the subway station near the entrance isn't open yet.

Emei is so hard to go, but it was truly rewarding when I reached the peak. Its very crowded, but you will still be able to get some pretty nice pictures. The monkeys along the way really added the extra special touch to the trip :) some people found the bus journey up the winding roads very nauseating, but I slept throughout and was fine both ways! You can consider eating some anti-nausea pills some time before the bus ride though!
It was a fantastic experience. This was my third time here, and I finally saw the sea of clouds! The sunrise was breathtaking, and I felt incredibly uplifted. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the mountain was very convenient. I highly recommend it.

I went in the summer, it wasn't too hot, very comfortable. If you know about the history of the Three Kingdoms, it's a great place to visit. I highly recommend it. What impressed me most was the rotten wood statue next to Liu Bei, representing his son; "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
What a peaceful way to start the morning. We entered the shrine at around 9am and its was still relatively quiet. It was way bigger than we thought so plenty to explore. Our favourite was the bonsai trees section

After climbing Mount Emei, I went to Leshan to sample the local cuisine and also visited the famous Leshan Giant Buddha. Yes, the confluence of three rivers—the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu—makes this auspicious location a sight to behold. The Buddha, built over 90 years, is definitely worth seeing. The red sandstone along the riverbank is easily weathered, and the section of the ancient path that once stood there is now a protected historical site, closed to traffic since around 2019. So, some places are best visited early; otherwise, the experience won't be the same as it was back then.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is truly awe-inspiring, a testament to the wisdom of the ancients. The scenic area is vast, with towering trees, abundant flowers, and ancient temples. Overlooking the confluence of three rivers, the waters flow swiftly. The Giant Buddha scenic area is definitely worth seeing; Sichuan truly deserves its reputation as a major tourist province, boasting numerous unique natural and cultural landscapes.

Qingcheng Mountain has beautiful scenery. On a sunny day, the sun shines brightly, and the scenery is stunning. You can take the cable car up and walk down. I'd love to go again sometime, though it's a bit tiring on the legs. It's important to exercise more and get out more often. The air in Qingcheng Mountain is truly excellent; I highly recommend a visit.
This is the second time this old 5A scenic area has reopened. From the high-speed rail station, you can take a sightseeing bus for 20 yuan to the scenic area gate, climb a short mountain path to Yuecheng Lake, take the cable car up the mountain, which saves a lot of energy. Then, you can climb to Laojun Pavilion, take photos, and then go down the mountain to Tianshi Cave. Finally, you can take an electric car back to the high-speed rail station. It's very convenient and I highly recommend visiting it.

A near-perfect scenic area. The staff are enthusiastic and responsible. The area is sparsely populated and very peaceful in winter, perfect for hikers. The round trip hike to Flower Child is 27 kilometers with an elevation gain of over 1000 meters, offering a certain level of challenge.
It was perfect timing to catch the rime ice after school started, with the mountains and fields covered in white. Be aware of altitude sickness. The shuttle buses in the scenic area are fine, probably because there are fewer people in winter, the buses aren't crowded, and the departure intervals are relatively short.

Daocheng Yading is a must-visit at least once in a lifetime, but you'll never have a second chance—it's just too exhausting. The scenery is beautiful, but the high-altitude trekking and ascents are incredibly physically demanding. Milk Lake is weather-dependent, and the overall value for money is just average. I recommend spending two days there.
The entire journey was uphill, and the driver's skills were superb. We were the only two people going into the mountains, but the driver drove as usual, giving us the bus all to ourselves. The only downside was that the audio narration about the scenic area was a bit quiet inside the bus.
