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.

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.

Take a bus to Leidongping and then hike all the way to the summit, which takes about 2-3 hours. It's plenty of time for children, and then take the cable car and bus back to the mountain entrance.
The cultural information during the hike was minimal, so I didn't fully grasp the essence. It was just a scramble, so there wasn't much fun or insight, which was a pity.
The service at the scenic spot was attentive and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering a wealth of advice and support, making us feel right at home.
The service was incredibly thoughtful, and with everything from parking and guided tours to dining options, it truly felt comfortable and convenient.

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.

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 Leshan Giant Buddha is quite interesting. We hired a guide for 120 RMB, which explained everything from the Buddha's head to its head. I recommend waiting for the gates to open at 7:30 AM; the first wave of people is quite small. However, we finished our tour of Wuyou Temple and left at 12:00 PM. By then, the crowds were quite large.

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.

The night tour of Zhijin Cave was a fantastic experience, highly recommended. The night tour is limited to 3,500 people, so the crowds were minimal. We were able to take as many photos and explore as we wanted, which was truly wonderful. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The entire tour took only an hour and a half, and it wasn't tiring at all. It's also family-friendly, so the kids had no trouble walking.
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.

Lugu Lake is beautiful, but the entrance fee is inexplicable. There are said to be many ways to evade the entrance fee, so why do they charge it? What kind of service does the scenic spot provide for the 70 yuan? None. Cars are parked randomly, there are no parking spaces, and garbage is left everywhere. Don't waste such a beautiful natural resource. And all other attractions still require separate tickets.
A soul-stirring experience at Lugu Lake! Climb aboard the Mosuo people's unique pig trough boats, and you'll feel like you've become part of this landscape painting. The waters are crystal clear, and the oars slice through the emerald waves, creating a tranquil and soothing experience. The boatman, a warm and friendly man, steers the boat steadily while introducing Mosuo culture and interesting stories about the lake, like an old friend. As the boat sails through the center of the lake, surrounded by mountains, the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water are breathtakingly beautiful! This is an unmissable experience to experience the pristine charm of Lugu Lake and the Mosuo culture, and it's absolutely worth the price of admission! 🌙

Jinsha and Sanxingdui are both representatives of the ancient Shu culture. Due to time reasons, Jinsha is in the city and can be reached by subway and bus. It is convenient, and Jinsha has the Sun Bird.
The ruins are quite interesting, but the display of cultural relics needs to be updated. Compared with Sanxingdui, they are a bit old-fashioned. The tour guide seemed to be bored, but we were the first group to visit in the morning. In short, there are treasures, but the exhibition layout also needs to keep pace with the times.

I have always been curious about Sichuan, but when I came to the Sichuan Museum, I was more shocked. The young lady gave a steady and pleasant explanation for more than three hours. She also had a good grasp of the rhythm. I saw the national treasure stone scriptures. I always thought it was a barbarian land, with no human traffic with the Qinsai. The three hours ended with a feeling of not having enough, but there was no display after the Song Dynasty. The knowledge in the textbooks collided with reality, and I slowly digested it myself. Suddenly I understood a sentence: learning alone without friends will lead to ignorance. There are some things in my mind that I haven't grasped yet.
The following is the original Wenshufang scenic spot review (about 200 words):---**Wenshufang: The intertwined Zen life field of Foyun City, niche but worth the slow product! **** Worth it? ** If you want to avoid the torrent of tourists, experience the Buddhist life of Chengdu people "left-handed rosary and right-hand tea"**, it is more localized than the commercial ancient town ** suitable for slow-walkers who like quiet and love cultural details**, and choose carefully for those who walk around and watch flowers. **Core highlights: ** 1. **Millennium ancient temple fireworks:**Close to the red wall of Wenshu Monastery** (free! ), listen to the morning bell and evening drums, watch the fragrant worship, turn around and plunge into the street old brand: **Dongzikou Zhang jelly powder** sweet and spicy interweaving, **The long queue of palace peach peach** hides the local taste belief. 2. **Non-legacy craftsman live exhibition: **In the **West Sichuan residential courtyard**: ✅ Master Yinhua silk fingertips pull out 0.1mm Gold wire; ✅ Peacock feather line on the embroidered bandstand is gradient like a rainbow; ✅ Handmade teahouse long-billed copper pots draw arc light ** non-performance, is daily**. 3. ** Hidden treasure space: ** 📚 ** Ancient Bookstore ** Taomingu Buddhist scriptures; � **Zen Tea House** Bamboo curtain half roll, drink Mengding Mannlu and listen to the guqin panyin; 🌿 **Xiangdao Hall** Learn Hexiang, seal the "Spring Letter in the Snow" into the porcelain can and take away. **Guide to avoiding pits: **⚠️ Main Street shops are homogeneous, **Drilling to the side alley courtyard** is really interesting; 🌙 **The best night**The sound of the prayer wheel in the temple, the lanterns reflect the blue tiles, and the Buddha rhyme city is perfectly balanced; 🚫 Do not buy "open light" goods and respect the purity of religion. **Summary: ** This is not a place for net reds to punch in, but a capillaries of Zen life in Chengdu**. When you bite a hot Yan Taipo Guokui under a century-old ginkgo, see the magical authenticity of the monks floating through the sugar painting stalls, only Chengdu has it. ** --- *The review is based on the local cultural immersion experience, and the original content is derived from many field visits and interviews with non-legacy craftsmen. Reject the scenic draft speech. *
