The base is quite large. We spent a day there and it rained. I don't know if it was bad luck or luck, as it was difficult to walk around the park. However, the temperature was low and we saw many pandas, including one fighting with another, which was a rare sight. The food at Panda Star Kitchen is a bit expensive, the variety is limited, and the taste is not very good. I recommend eating at the food court, which has a wider variety of food and is cheaper than the average price per customer at Panda Star Kitchen.

Teacher Xie's explanation was perfect, and he gave us a deep understanding of the culture of Sanxingdui. The explanation was detailed, pioneering, and vivid. The sense of substitution was very strong, and we could follow him into the historical background of the time. He gave a complete explanation of Sanxingdui. From all aspects, we felt the prosperity of the time. It is definitely the right choice to ask Teacher Xie to explain when you come to Sanxingdui.
It's definitely worth the trip! It's actually more economical to take a taxi from Chengdu. There weren't many people there at noon on August 17th. It started to get crowded in the afternoon, so I could examine each item carefully.
I bought a few more green chicks.

Stepping into the thatched cottage, the swaying bamboo shadows create a dialogue with the poetic master. Though simple, the thatched cottage embodies the poetic spirit of concern for his country and his people. Standing quietly here, one hears the recitation of "The Thatched Cottage Destroyed by the Autumn Wind," feeling the innocence of a generation of poets amidst the melancholy and frustration of history.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage left a profound impression on me during my trip to Chengdu, and I had to share it!
- Transportation: Located in the city center, the cottage offers superb transportation, with direct access by subway and bus. The main entrance is just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, making it incredibly tourist-friendly, with no worries about finding your way around.
- Environment: Upon entering Du Fu Thatched Cottage, a tranquil and serene atmosphere instantly enveloped me. The garden is shaded by lush green trees and flowers, and the air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees. Birds chirp cheerfully from the branches, seemingly telling stories of the past. Strolling through the grounds feels like being transported to a paradise, deeply relaxing both body and mind. It's hard to imagine this is located in the bustling city.
- Architecture: The quaint architecture exudes a simple elegance in every detail. With its grey tiles, white walls, and wooden doors and windows, it exudes a rich historical atmosphere. Walking along the central axis, through the main hall, the Poetry and History Hall, the wooden gate, and the Ministry of Works Shrine, one can deeply immerse themselves in the life of Du Fu in his time, and immerse themselves in the long river of history. - Cultural Heritage: This area houses a vast collection of Du Fu's poems and related historical relics, each one telling a turbulent story of history. Particularly, the display of Du Fu's timeless masterpieces, such as "Delightful Rain on a Spring Night" and "Song of the Thatched Cottage Destroyed by the Autumn Wind," evokes a profound admiration for the poet. For lovers of literature and history, Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a treasure trove of immeasurable cultural value.
- Garden Landscape: The gardens are exquisitely crafted, resembling a painting. Pavilions and towers are arranged in a staggered pattern, while winding paths offer a unique charm. The swaying lotus in the pond complements the surrounding buildings, creating a breathtaking backdrop. Any corner offers stunning photos, creating stunning, ancient-style images.
- Guided Tours: The scenic area is staffed with professional guides who are knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Thatched Cottage. They offer insight into the stories behind Du Fu's life and the background of his poetry, making the visit engaging and rewarding. If you don't want to hire a guide, you can also pay attention to the QR code on the ticket to listen to the audio guide

I personally like Panda Valley very much. Huahua is in charge of the Panda Base, but there are also many people. Panda Valley is relatively less crowded. It feels like an outdoor paradise, and the pandas can be viewed more closely.
Giant pandas are easy to spot because they're not crowded. Red pandas, however, are much harder to spot because they're crowded, there's only one lane, and even from a distance, you have to rely on luck. If you love red pandas, I recommend visiting the Red Panda Forest Park, where there are very few people and lots of red pandas.

The whole show is amazing. Its the best i have seen. Must watch. Even if you already watched elsewhere. You got to give it a chance to view. The content is superb.
Awesome show! My girlfriend and I went to the Sichuan Opera without knowing much about it beforehand and were pleasantly surprised. The performance was really impressive, and for just an extra 10 yuan per person we also enjoyed some tea with it.There’s not much more to say, it’s absolutely worth the price, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Chengdu!

It's very beautiful. I will go there again. Seeing the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and streams, I feel my soul has been purified! I will come back next autumn to see a different scenery!
The weather was perfect today, and the whole experience was truly wonderful. Meltwater from the snow-capped mountains converges into streams, forming terraced lakes and ponds in the Yellow River. The water is crystal clear, and its color varies from yellow to green, cyan to blue, depending on the sediments on the bottom and the colors of the trees and mountains.

The Chengdu Museum is still worth a visit. It helps to understand the history of Chengdu. The teacher explained it in detail for 3 hours without a break. Fortunately, I found a teacher, otherwise it would be too late to see it by myself.
Guide Yang's explanation was wonderful, well-versed in history and the present, and full of positive energy. You can feel her love for this city from her words. I will arrange for a big-name speaker next time I come.

He excels at extracting humor from everyday situations, and his storyboards are ingenious. He understands the tension of exaggerated humor while also conveying warmth with delicate touches, a master at bringing comic stories to life.
Comments from Manhua Manor: The changing seasons create a scene: spring cherry blossoms resemble snow, summer lotuses reflect the sun, autumn chrysanthemums compete for beauty, and winter plum blossoms stand proudly. The trails wind through a sea of flowers, and the gentle breeze brings fragrance to your face. It's a soothing secret haven outside the bustling city, and every frame is like an overturned palette.

Not only do children learn here, but adults also learn a lot. Children love coming here and they discover something new every time. This is a good place to bring children.
This is my second visit to the Natural History Museum. First, we went to see the Mamenchisaurus. The kids were so excited they trotted all the way inside the exhibit, reading and listening to everything about it. There were also other natural life exhibits, including the origins of life, filled with exotic animals, birds, and more – a feast for the eyes. My son especially loved the insect exhibit, spending a long time in the butterfly and beetle section.
