Thought we will spent couple hours recommeded but end up we spent over 7hrs to explore the park and spot every pandas 🐼 🐼 and walk over 20k steps maybe it was low peak season the park looks rather empty and very little acrivity which was good as we can take our times to scroll slowly and peacefully
The facility is well-maintained, clean, and organised, with clear signage and viewing areas that allow visitors to watch the pandas without disturbing them. I really appreciated how the centre focuses on conservation, research, and education rather than just being a tourist attraction. You genuinely learn a lot about panda breeding, care, and protection efforts.If you go in the morning, you’ll catch the pandas during their most active time — eating, climbing, or playing. It’s such a joyful and heart-warming sight! There are also red pandas, a museum area, and plenty of spots to rest and take photos.

The tour guide was very professional and patient in explaining things on-site. We communicated in advance to confirm the reception location and time, and the on-site explanation service, which was originally scheduled for 2 hours, went far beyond what was expected. The elderly were very satisfied!
Highly recommend and thank you to Professor Zhou Huan for her three-hour insightful lecture. Our family of three learned a great deal. Professor Zhou Huan was very patient, providing a wealth of practical information. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of Sanxingdui culture. My 7-year-old child listened attentively throughout the entire lecture thanks to Professor Zhou's meticulous explanations. I believe we will definitely come again in a few years when our child is older.

The weather was lovely, the environment was lovely, the air was lovely, everything felt so natural and comfortable. I could leisurely stroll around for a day, replenishing my extremely knowledge-poor brain. I love Caotang, I'll definitely visit again next time.
The content is excellent, the landscaping is beautiful, and the scenery is unique, making it perfect for student study tours! It allows students to learn about the integrity of poets and scholars, and to gain a deeper understanding of the ancients! It's best to hire a guide inside so you can learn even more!

It was really great, I'm very satisfied 😊! The service was excellent, the environment was clean, tidy and orderly! ✌️✌️✌️ It was fantastic and comfortable, I wasn't tired at all throughout the night hahaha, a very satisfying experience.
A Trip to Mount Emei: A Healing Journey Through Nature and Zen
This trip to Mount Emei completely overturned my expectations of famous mountains. "Emei, the most beautiful mountain under heaven," truly lives up to its name! I chose the classic route of hiking halfway up the mountain and taking the cable car to the Golden Summit. This allowed me to immerse myself in the ethereal beauty of Qingyin Pavilion, listen to the babbling brook at Yixiantian (One Line Sky), and interact closely with the "little elves" of the ecological monkey area – a truly enjoyable experience from start to finish. The biggest surprise was the sunrise at the Golden Summit. Although it was chilly at 4 AM, when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the sea of clouds, bathing the Ten Directions Samantabhadra statue in sacred golden light, and the swirling clouds below like a flowing Milky Way, all my fatigue transformed into awe and profound emotion.
The food at the foot of the mountain was the icing on the cake. The intangible cultural heritage of Qiaojiao Beef was fragrant and warming, the authentic Sichuan cuisine at Laogedou Restaurant was mouthwatering, and the lively atmosphere of the food street was unforgettable. We chose the Hongzhushan Hotel for accommodation. Opening the window revealed lush greenery, and in the evening, soaking in the forest hot springs built into the mountainside was incredibly relaxing, washing away the fatigue of the hike.
The entire trip combined magnificent natural scenery with the tranquility of Buddhist culture. Convenient transportation and attentive service made it perfect for both family trips and solo pilgrimages. If you're looking for a healing haven outside the city, Mount Emei is definitely worth a visit. Its blend of serene mountain scenery and everyday life will become a cherished memory!

I traveled on Nov so the weather was quite cold but the scene is very pretty
To be fair, places with rich cultural heritage are quite nice. Make sure to let the tour guide speak; otherwise, the trip is a waste. This time, the guide was very professional, spoke at a comfortable pace, and gave lively and interesting explanations. Worth a visit!

The Leshan Giant Buddha is more than just the giant Buddha statue itself. After seeing the entire Buddha from head to toe, you can visit nearby attractions such as Su Garden, Dongpo Tower, Wuyou Temple, Mahao Cliff Tombs Museum, and Pilu Temple, all of which are excellent choices.
It takes about half an hour by taxi from the high-speed rail station. It was incredibly crowded. The queue to get to the base of the Buddha statue took about an hour. There were also many foreigners visiting. It's really quite impressive, but the queues are too long. I recommend traveling during off-peak hours.

It's pretty good. The air on the mountain is very fresh. If you're going for the hike, I wouldn't recommend the cable car; the queue is two hours long, while the cable car ride is only five minutes. Of course, it depends on the situation. It gets very crowded during the summer holidays. This is just for your reference.
Qingcheng Mountain is a secluded and tranquil place, lush with greenery, shrouded in mist, and filled with fresh, invigorating air. Its peaks rise one after another, covered in verdant forests that remain evergreen year-round. The surrounding peaks resemble a fortified city, and the scenic area is deep and serene, hence the reputation of "Qingcheng, the most secluded place under heaven." Another theory about the origin of the mountain's name is that during the Tang Dynasty, a mistake in a written edict changed "Qingcheng" to "Qingcheng," supported by existing Tang Dynasty inscriptions.

Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area boasts beautiful scenery. The drive up the mountain is convenient, and you can easily visit all the classic sights on the way back. We arrived at the redwood forest in the morning just in time to see snow falling. Combined with the sunshine, the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance looked even more magnificent!
We visited here in July .It wasn’t crowded at all .However the weather was quite rainy with lots of mist,so We couldn’t see the Mountain View’s I was hoping for 😭.The peaks were completely cover by fog ,but the mist added a calm ,mysterious atmosphere that made the experience unique in its own way.I would like to come back again on a clear day to see the full view!!

The journey from Lijiang to Lugu Lake was quite long, but the moment I saw the lake, it was all worth it! It truly deserves its reputation as a pearl of the plateau, and was the most memorable highlight of our Yunnan trip. Even now, more than a month after returning, I often think of the azure lake and the beautiful sky—a sight I'll never want to leave!
This is my third trip to Lugu Lake. The first time was in 2016, alone; the second time was with colleagues. Nine years later, I'm going again, and the lake scenery is still the same—very peaceful, with excellent water quality. This time, I'm with my wife. We spent two days at Lugu Lake, enjoying a pleasant drive around the lake. Waking up in the morning, we could see the beautiful scenery. The overall ecological environment is excellent, although some attractions are still underdeveloped. I hope to have the opportunity to go again sometime.
