You can observe the adorable giant pandas up close, with lively scenes like adults leisurely eating and cubs playing and frolicking, which is extremely interesting. The park also features popular science exhibitions and interactive programs, allowing children to gain in-depth knowledge about giant panda conservation and enhance their awareness of ecological protection. Highly recommended!
The location of Hampton by Hilton Chengdu Chunxi Road is very good, with convenient transportation and easy travel. It is a ten-minute walk to Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel rooms are clean and hygienic, the bedding is comfortable, and the room has a free mini-bar, which is replenished free of charge every day. The breakfast is rich, and I especially like the grain hot drink. Wayne gave me a very cute souvenir. I will choose it again next time.

Sanxingdui tickets were sold out in seconds during the summer vacation. By chance, I saw a comment from a celebrity and booked it, and it worked out perfectly! The team's overall service was simple and clear. The instructor explained while arranging where to stand, which was a very reasonable arrangement. The tour lasted 3 hours, with a 15-minute break in between. I listened carefully throughout the entire process and was able to take all the necessary photos. Great!
It is really necessary to visit a museum and have a reliable guide. I took my son to a VIP private guide for two people. Although there was no microphone and there were quite a lot of people, it did not affect the experience at all. The lady was very attentive and prepared a lot of materials on her phone to accompany the explanation. It was very vivid.

A must-see check-in spot in Chengdu, inside the wetland park. The outside environment is nice and shady with green trees. There is a three-person sculpture attraction in the park, and there are many famous poems underground. It is still a good place to take children for a walk. The scenic area is still very large, but there are not many things related to Du Fu. 🤣. Along the way, there were many people during the summer vacation... Complaint: this is also considered an educational base, and the 50 yuan ticket is actually a bit expensive...
Today's itinerary was particularly meaningful. We followed Teacher Liu into Du Fu's Thatched Cottage and strolled through it. Every brick and tile was imbued with Du Fu's deep love for his country and family. Teacher Liu's explanations were excellent, lively, and engaging, allowing the children to follow along closely. We learned about the poet's turbulent life, from his early years filled with lofty ambitions to his middle age, when he experienced the An-Shi Rebellion and displacement. His poetry gradually shifted from expressing personal ambition to deeply descriptive portrayals of social realities and the suffering of ordinary people. Each poem truly captured that turbulent era. We felt as if we were immersed in the turbulent times of the Tang Dynasty, experiencing Du Fu's joys, sorrows, and anger. The simple wooden gate and the solemn and awe-inspiring Temple of the Ministry of Works were awe-inspiring. Here, we learned that Du Fu had been awarded the title of "Reviewer of the Ministry of Works." Huang Tingjian and Lu You are enshrined on either side of Du Fu's statue within the temple. All three of them were dedicated to the art of poetry, and their legacy lives on today.
The most anticipated attraction is the thatched cottage area. This recreated thatched cottage, where Du Fu once lived, depicted the simple furnishings of a mansion where "there was no dry place by the bed, and the rain fell like hemp, but it never stopped." Du Fu's life was truly harrowing, yet despite this, he still managed to express his profound concern for the world by expressing his desire for a thousand mansions, "To shelter all the poor and the poor, and to bring them joy." This compassion for the world deeply moved the students. They gathered together, diligently filling out study guides and sharing their understanding of Du Fu's poetry, appreciating the poetry's charm and the poet's greatness through this exchange. Studying at Du Fu's Thatched Cottage not only allowed us to understand Du Fu's life and poetry, but also, through the interplay of history and present, to appreciate the profoundness of China's fine traditional culture.

Our trip to Zhangjiajie was truly wonderful! We saw the towering peaks of Yuanjiajie, the Xihai Stone Forest at Tianzi Mountain, and rode the cable car through the clouds at Tianmen Mountain—each scene was breathtaking. The group meals were generous, with both meat and vegetables. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Our guide, Yao, provided thoughtful explanations and thoughtful arrangements throughout the trip, making food, accommodation, and travel a breeze. It was a truly wonderful experience, and I'll definitely choose Ctrip again.
The transportation arrangement is very reasonable. The cable car from Leidongping to Jinding saves a lot of physical strength. Even with children, you won't feel tired. The overall trip is easy and enjoyable. The mountain is too high and the weather is unstable. It's sunny and foggy.

A Millennium-Long Echo of the Courageous Cooperation Between Emperor and Minister
Stepping into the Wuhou Shrine, the sight of red walls lining the aisles and towering ancient cypresses instantly draws one into the epic epic of the Three Kingdoms era. This is China's only temple dedicated to the joint enshrinement of an emperor and his ministers, connecting the Han Zhaolie Temple, the Wuhou Shrine, and the Huiling Mausoleum along a central axis. Every brick and tile bears the legend of the close and harmonious relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. In the Liu Bei Hall, a statue of the emperor sits majestically, flanked by galleries of civil and military officials, whose array of colorful sculptures recreates the heroic figures of the Shu Han dynasty. Passing through a secluded hall, the Zhuge Liang Hall features a plaque reading "Jingyuan Hall," where a statue of Wu Hou, adorned with a feather fan and a long turban, stands serenely within. The resonant words of the Qing Dynasty "Attack the Heart Couplet" adorning the eaves—"If you can conquer the heart, rebellion will naturally vanish. Since ancient times, we've known that war is not about warmongering"—embody the wisdom of governing a nation and maintaining peace. The hall is densely covered with Tang and Song dynasty inscriptions, particularly the "Three Wonders Stele," which bears the highest tribute to the partnership between emperor and minister. Strolling deep within the renowned red walls and bamboo groves of Jinguancheng, dappled light and shadows cast across the bluestone pavement, one feels as if relived the heartfelt friendship of Zhuge Liang offering advice and Liu Bei entrusting his son to him. The unique structure of this temple, a millennium-long fusion of private worship and official worship, is a vivid illustration of the principle of mutual assistance between ruler and minister—a historical collision of wisdom and loyalty, transformed here into an eternal spiritual totem.
The characters from books and the plots from television shows are brought to life here in the most intuitive way. This is the sacred place I've longed to visit. There's no disappointment, just the inevitable sadness: death before achieving success.

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.
The Leshan Giant Buddha's head is as tall as the mountain, 14.7 meters high and 10 meters wide, with a bun on his head and 7-meter-long ears. It is carved into the mountain and sits majestically overlooking the river, looking solemn and majestic.

The entire journey takes 5-6 hours. We took a sightseeing bus from the high-speed rail station directly to the scenic spot (20 yuan per person, 35 yuan round trip, about 3 kilometers, and the only transportation available is the sightseeing bus. Hey, think about it, it's basically the ticket price plus 35 yuan, because there's no other option. You can walk, but there's a big hill ahead, plus the 6 kilometers... every step is calculated for you). From the foot of the mountain to Laojun Pavilion at the top, it took us about 3.5 hours. The scenery along the way is quite beautiful, but there are a few sections of the road that are extremely narrow and steep, with tourists crowded together "hanging" on the steep slopes, which can be a bit dangerous. The road is also slippery, and I saw several people fall along the way, including myself. Be careful with children. Snacks are the only food available, and they're quite expensive, but you'll definitely need to eat after 5-6 hours, so consider your own discretion. There's also a cable car, and a 5-minute ride can save you about an hour of walking. The overall evaluation is okay, the scenery is worth a visit, but as for the operation of the scenic spot, hehe, it's just like what I said before, we have calculated every aspect of your trip for you, so just pay.
This famous Taoist mountain has beautiful scenery and is well worth a visit. You can take the cable car up and then walk down, or take the cable car back and forth. Since the altitude is not too high, it's a little tiring, but it's manageable.

The scenic area shuttle bus goes directly to the top, and it's quite relaxing to play at each stop. The weather is good and it's very photogenic. There are food for sale in the scenic area, and the smoked ribs are delicious. You must go and experience the rafting, it's very beautiful!
After returning from Jiuzhaigou, I went to Siguniang Mountain. I was worried that the scenery would be the same, but I thought too much. The Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is so spectacular. I wonder how beautiful it will be in winter. The nanny car on the way back was quite spacious and parked in the ground parking lot. It was very convenient to park in Yipintianxia when returning to Chengdu.

The hotel is located on Bayi Food Street. Just downstairs, turn right and you'll find Jiefangbei. It's a short walk to all the surrounding attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. I was very satisfied with my stay.
I went there at noon, and there were not many people. I queued for less than ten minutes before I got on the other side. It was worth the experience. The scenery on both sides was pleasant. There was also an observation deck on the south bank for taking photos, which was very nice. Xiahaoli is not far away, so you can visit it together.
