It was my first time at the panda base, and I didn't feel very satisfied. I heard that there are more than 200 pandas, but I only saw 6 panda babies. They were basically hiding and sleeping, and we could only see their backs. I was a little disappointed. The red pandas were very lively and flew over our heads.
Today, we took a day trip to the Panda Base and Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The experience was truly enjoyable, and we were particularly impressed by our guide, Guide Yang, for his professional explanations and attentive service. Thank you very much!
He demonstrated exceptional professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the entire trip. He explained the history and culture of Dujiangyan, the principles of water conservancy engineering, and the contributions of Li Bing and his son in a vivid and engaging manner. While we admired the magnificent scenery, we also deeply felt the grandeur and wisdom of this millennium-old water conservancy project. Furthermore, he meticulously reminded us of important matters, arranged the itinerary in a thoughtful manner, and took the initiative to take photos for us, demonstrating his compassionate care in every way.
Our trip to Dujiangyan was made even more memorable by Guide Yang's outstanding service. His dedication and professionalism fully reflect your agency's high standards of service. We hope to commend and encourage such outstanding employees!
Thank you again, Guide Yang, for your hard work!

There is nothing to see. I mainly come here to experience the historical sites. It takes about an hour to follow the tour guide from Qinyan Tower to the exit of Lidui Park. I don't think it is necessary to hire a tour guide. Just search for the explanations on the Internet.
What a magnificent water conservancy project! You absolutely have to ask for an explanation, or you won't be able to fully appreciate it. Our guide, Xiao Du, was a mid-level guide at the platform. She was young but very good at explaining things, and my parents were fascinated. She even bought our tickets for the sightseeing bus, so we didn't have to worry about it. She also recommended restaurants for lunch (be careful with your choices; the second one she recommended was the Old House Sichuan Restaurant, near Chengkanyuan, which was excellent!).

This civilization, coexisting with the Central Plains civilization, rewrote Chinese history. It's well worth a visit, but be sure to find a guide. I recommend booking a midday session. The morning and afternoon sessions coincided with summer vacation, so the crowds were incredibly dense, making it difficult to squeeze into the booths. Photo opportunities were also completely crowded, so the afternoon session was much better. The lack of hot water at the exhibition hall was a minor flaw. Otherwise, it was excellent.
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!

Five-star reviews! The hotel is in a great location, making it super convenient for exploring the sights. The room was clean and spacious, and the bedding was comfortable, making for a great sleep. The service was also excellent, and the front desk lady was welcoming, patient, and responsive. It was a truly comfortable stay, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!
It can be said that his life was full of ups and downs. He experienced the ups and downs of his official career, wrote the Three Officials and Three Farewells, and witnessed the An-Shi Rebellion, which witnessed the decline of the Tang Dynasty. Du Gongbu was also concerned about the country and the people. Perhaps only this 🪷, which is pure and not evil, can represent him.

To date, I've climbed Mount Emei five times. People often say, "Even if I want to buy osmanthus flowers and wine with them, it's never the same as when I was young." This resonates deeply with me! When I first saw Mount Emei, I felt it was just a mountain, a mountain that would end once I climbed it. Back then, I was full of vigor and ambition, unaware of the hardships of life...
My second ascent, after the hardships, left me unwilling to give up. A young man in high spirits, this was the ultimate testament to my supernatural powers...
My third ascent, I wanted to rival the heavens for height. Back then, I was so proud and galloping, I could see all the flowers in Chang'an in a single day...
In the early morning, sunlight bathed the mountains. I set off to the sound of the morning bells from Wannian Temple, ascending the winding mountain path. Each step was deeply imprinted in the veins of Mount Emei. Along the way, towering ancient trees, cascading waterfalls, and swirling clouds and mist made me feel like I was in a fairyland on earth, a truly refreshing experience.

There is nothing particularly amazing. It might be okay to go there if you are bored on weekends. There are fewer people in the scenic area in the morning, and the people in the lieutenant colonel start to run away. If you want to relax a little, it is recommended to go in the morning.
I bought a ticket on Ctrip and got a small keychain as a gift. It's so cute. I think the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is well written. If you want to study the Wuhou Temple, it's worth a visit.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Once a daily commute, it's now a popular tourist destination. It's witnessed the passage of history, economic development, the fulfillment of life, and the footprints of those who strive for a better life.
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.
