Experience the Stunning Affair of World-Class Cultural Heritage
Dujiangyan, a "living miracle of hydraulic engineering," showcases the extraordinary wisdom of the ancients with its Yuzui Diversion Dike and Baopingkou dikes. Visitors can directly experience how this 2,000-year-old design continues to nourish the Chengdu Plain today, making it a perfect spot for family study tours or history enthusiasts.
Convenient Transportation and Seasonal Enjoyment
Just 30 minutes from Chengdu by high-speed rail, it's a popular choice for day trips. The scenery changes with each season: enjoy flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, admire ginkgo trees in autumn, and witness snow in winter, with no traditional off-season.
Abundant Tourist Attractions
The thrill of Anlan Bridge, the ancient buildings of Erwang Temple, the night view of South Bridge (especially stunning after the lights are on at 7:00 PM), and the panoramic views of Yulei Pavilion are all worth experiencing.
In the morning, I followed Peng Yuyan from Qinyanlou via the cable bridge, Yuzui, Feishayan to Lidui. In the afternoon, I entered from Erwangdian and climbed to the commanding heights of Yulei Pavilion. It was a great sense of accomplishment. ✌️ The scenery along the way

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.
Sanxingdui is definitely worth a visit.
The reserved tickets and explanations were excellent.
The bamboo beauty's explanation was very interesting. A more in-depth explanation is a must. Everyone was happy to attend, and it was a fascinating experience. The children kept up with the entire experience. My son loved it, too. 😍
Please make sure to check out the last photo. Bamboo beauty 🍍🍍🍍

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.
It was much smaller than I thought. It rained heavily on the 16th and I got soaked and hid in a teahouse. The waiter didn't even let the children in and kept asking everyone to wait outside the door. It was very commercial and uncomfortable.

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.
There are quite a lot of people, but it's okay, just wander around. After all, it is set in the Three Kingdoms period and has traditional Chinese Shu culture, so it is quite attractive.

There were still quite a lot of people during the summer peak season. Fortunately, the scenic area is well managed, and parking and getting off the Buddha's Foot platform are all in good order. However, the parking road is very narrow, making it a bit difficult to pass by.
It's worth making a special trip to Leshan. Hiking doesn't offer a full view of the Giant Buddha, but taking a boat trip allows for a fuller view. However, hiking offers other gardens and scenic views. Leshan also boasts delicious food, such as sweet-skin duck and paper-wrapped siu mai.
One other note: During the summer, waiting in line to reach the foot of the Giant Buddha takes about an hour and a half. During holidays, the line can be even longer.

It's convenient. I bought a ticket on Ctrip and could enter the scenic area by simply swiping my ID card. The front entrance is all stairs, so it's not that difficult. You can also take the cable car. You can also take a boat ride on Yuecheng Lake. The ticket is 5 yuan per person (the same price 10 years ago), which is worth experiencing.
There were a lot of people during the peak summer season, so my enthusiasm for traveling was a bit dampened. There were so many people queuing for the cable car that I decided to climb up by myself. I booked a show, which the children loved, but the adults didn't feel much.

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 scenery is still okay, but the road is too congested, especially the last five kilometers to the entrance of the scenic spot. It is a mess both entering and exiting. It takes ten hours on the road and one hour to see the scenery.

The scenery is generally good, but it was flood season and the boat ride was not allowed, which made the overall experience a little less enjoyable. In addition, it was cloudy that day. There were quite a lot of people in Zhijin Cave, and it took almost 2 hours to walk down.
We entered the scenic area at 8:40. There were not many people there, so we could control the pace of the whole process by ourselves. There were basically empty seats at the rest stops along the way. It took about 2 and a half hours to finish the walk. The cave is really big and the scenery is breathtaking. We were really tired.
