The ancient salt lake exists 3,000 meters underground and covers an area of ​​approximately 700 square kilometers. The brine in the lake is the sole source of water replenishment for the Dead Sea of ​​China.

Definitely recommend booking tickets through trip.com made it way easier to get the tickets and scan through. Huge park.

I brought my parents here for a visit. The garden is huge, with a beautiful garden structure and design. The poet's calligraphy is still fresh and elegant, the bamboo forest is secluded, and the orchids are still fragrant. Climbing Wanfu Tower, you can see the entire city of Chengdu. It's so relaxing and enjoyable!

Xiaoxiao, the guide at the Sanxingdui Museum, was extremely professional. Her explanations were ample in time and in-depth, covering not only the exhibits but also a great deal of archaeological knowledge, with excellent interactive elements. She brought the ancient Shu civilization to life in a vivid and easy-to-understand way. I learned a lot throughout the visit and highly recommend her. Her explanations of the Sanxingdui artifacts, casting techniques, and ancient Shu beliefs were clear, engaging, and the experience was excellent. I was very satisfied!

We climbed Mount Qingcheng for over three hours, visiting many Taoist temples. It was my first time experiencing Taoist culture so closely, and I definitely want to come back! We took the cable car down the mountain.

Wuhou Shrine was not on my list, but when I took metro line 10 from airport terminal to my hotel, I read the name of the last station would be „Wuhou Shrine“ so i looked it up and read that ppl count it as ‘Must See‘ when in Chengdu. Directly booked ticket through Trip.com and went there today. I had to convert my online ticket at the ticket booth to a paper ticket just by showing them my passport (everything goes with the passport while in China 😉). After passing by the entrance gate, I also bought an audio guide (20 yuan but you will have to pay first another 100 yuan as deposit - when you are really interested in culture, this might be a thing (for me I think I would have been good with the english info signs that you can find here and there). And it is really beautiful shrines and temples. Very worth to be visited. It includes also two museums inside the venue and a park area. The place is next to Jinli street, which is known for its street food, theatre restaurants and craftwork

This package deal was incredibly cost-effective. We enjoyed the hot springs, the singing bowl therapy experience, and the service was five stars. The breakfast was quite plentiful, a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes. The only downside was the somewhat dated rooms. Mount Emei is truly beautiful! I would definitely come back again!

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

As expected of the Leshan Giant Buddha, it is well worth a visit. Half a day is usually enough to explore the area. The scenic spot is very interesting, and you won't feel tired even after half a day. It's also great for taking pictures.

This trip to Western Sichuan was such a wonderful surprise! The scenery along the way – from Mount Siguniang to Bipenggou, Jiuzhaigou, and Huanglong – was breathtaking; every shot was a masterpiece. Our tour leader, Mr. Ma, deserves a huge shout-out; he was attentive and responsible throughout the entire trip. Even with the many curves in Western Sichuan, he drove very steadily, giving us peace of mind. The accommodations were also great, offering excellent value for money compared to other options. Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable trip, highly recommended!
