The weight and hope behind the term "national treasure": The base is more than just a "lovely pet paradise"; it's the world's foremost ex situ conservation and research institution for giant pandas. Understanding their plight, once on the brink of extinction (habitat loss and reproductive difficulties), and then seeing the thriving population and frequent births at the base today, the meaning of "conservation" becomes more concrete. The introduction to the research center (such as the artificial brooding pens and behavioral research) silently speaks to humanity's remarkable efforts to preserve this species.

My long-awaited trip to the Sanxingdui Museum was finally a complete success. Considering the summer crowds, and to avoid the hassle of getting up early and queuing for a group tour, I opted for a private tour with a premium guide. Thanks to our instructor, Xiao Hu, for his professional and detailed three-hour tour of the museum. He gave us a vivid and engaging understanding of the Sanxingdui excavation process and the history behind each artifact. It was a truly unique and exceptional experience, well worth the price!
The explanation was clear and engaging. We were pressed for time, but he hit all the key points! The children followed closely... which goes to show how interesting the lecture was and how much they enjoyed it.
Highly recommended

A refreshing world of towering ancient trees: Ginkgo and ancient nanmu trees within the courtyard shade the sky, their dense shade blanketing the ground, bringing a refreshing coolness even in midsummer. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Birdsong chirps intertwine with the faint sound of Buddhist chanting. Time flows slowly here, and the heart naturally calms. The feeling of "living in the midst of human life, yet free from the clamor of traffic" feels incredibly real at this moment.
**Feelings:** Wenshu Monastery is Chengdu's "spiritual oasis," proving that true tranquility doesn't require detachment from the hustle and bustle of life, but lies in a shift in mindset and the creation of space.**
The tour guide was very serious in explaining and paid attention to every tourist. The group was not large. This is the best tour guide I have ever seen on Ctrip. He explained Du Fu's life in conjunction with the attractions and museums like telling a story. It was great. I highly recommend it!

The ticket price is actually a bit high. As many reviews have noted, the number of exhibits is relatively small, at least significantly less than the similarly priced Sanxingdui site. The exhibition hall layout is also inferior to Sanxingdui. The lighting in the highlight, Hall 4, is mediocre, and you can often see fire hydrant exit signs and other artifacts in the background. The Jinsha Ruins, dating back almost 1,000 years, also date back to Sanxingdui. They have also unearthed numerous ivory, gold, jade, and stone artifacts, but unfortunately, the excavations are relatively limited, making them less attractive to visitors. There are many private guides in the area, especially in the ruins area, who often ask for a guide, which can be a bit of a distraction. The upside is that, while the price is relatively low, it's less crowded during the summer. The temporary exhibition hall on the basement level is beautiful, and the Ten-Section Jade Cong is hidden there—a must-see.
At the Jinsha Ruins Museum, we saw the excavation site firsthand, along with exhibits like 3,000-year-old tree roots, the Sun Bird, and a golden mask. We were deeply moved by the wonders of history and culture! Due to technological limitations, there are still many treasures to be unearthed at the Jinsha and Sanxingdui sites. We look forward to even more amazing discoveries in the future!

In general, Sichuan Opera face-changing has become a rare treasure in Chinese opera art with its unique skills, profound cultural connotations and powerful stage expression. It not only shows the charm of traditional art, but also reflects the artists' ultimate pursuit of art.

The Panda Valley is not very big, and there are several pandas. However, they were not very active when we went there early in the morning. It might be because the temperature was too high. The pandas were too hot. They were all lying on the ground gasping for breath, and some were lying on the trees and didn't come down. I was lucky to see a very elegant red panda in the red panda ecological area. It was doing business slowly in the jungle, looking back every three steps, looking at the crowd of people taking pictures excitedly at its feet with elegant confusion.
The Panda Valley has a quiet environment and is built on the mountain with excellent greenery. During the summer vacation, you must be the first to enter the valley. Basically, the giant pandas are eating and it is very cool. I also saw the red pandas. The only drawback is that the pendant that comes with the premium ticket is too bad. You have to go out and find the hotel to pick it up. There are no tickets on the official website, so you can only buy this kind of ticket.

For someone like me who likes to listen to explanations and learn knowledge in museums with air conditioning on hot days, it feels worthwhile to go to Chengdu Museum to see the giant stone rhino after visiting Jinsha and Sanxingdui. Mr. Wu from Shu Xiaojiang gave a great explanation, thank you!
This time I went to see the statue exhibition. Since I am not a professional, I just went to appreciate the sculptures. These sculptures are very beautiful! I think it is not a loss to pay 60 yuan for a special exhibition. Since I can't make an appointment for a free ticket to the museum, I can buy a special exhibition ticket and visit it. It's really great to see the sculptures! The Zeus statue in the front is really beautiful, and the ending with the god of wine is also very interesting. In short, I personally recommend it to appreciate it, especially for students majoring in art! However, the surroundings of the special exhibition don't look very good except for jewelry, but jewelry is useless to me and I won't wear it, so I didn't buy anything. Girls can consider it. Earrings and bracelets are not too expensive, very beautiful, and there are no similar ones on Taobao.

How could such a beautiful place exist? Spending two days and one night here felt like a dream. We went to the observation deck that evening, but it suddenly started to rain. We stayed in the rain for a while, but we didn't rush back to the inn because it was so beautiful! I was so captivated by the scenery! Even a day of sightseeing wasn't enough...
Mountains, meadows, snow-capped mountains, streams, redwood forests, roads, temples... It's stunning. Mountains, meadows, snow-capped mountains, streams, redwood forests, roads, temples...

Surprisingly, the reviews online weren't very positive, but the crowds were low, and the content was good enough for a five-year-old, and we adults enjoyed it. The theater inside was not expensive at 30 yuan per ticket, and the children had a great time. The service was also very good. The cultural and creative products are also very cost-effective, so I think these museums should be promoted vigorously.
The Chengdu Natural History Museum is very good. The animal specimens inside are very real, and the dinosaur museum is so shocking. I really recommend going there when you come to Chengdu. It is also a good choice to take children there.

My dears, I recently discovered a super beautiful treasure place - Chengdu Manhua Manor, which is simply a real version of Monet's garden. I love it!
🌷 As soon as you enter the park, a large area of gorgeous flowers hits your eyes, as if you have entered Van Gogh's palette🎨 Flowers of different varieties and colors bloom wantonly, red is warm, pink is cute, and purple is mysterious, interweaving into a poetic and picturesque beauty. Every shot is a blockbuster full of atmosphere, and every picture can be directly output as an original picture.
There are abundant recreational facilities in the park, the exciting rainbow slide, sliding down from a high place at high speed, the wind whistling in your ears, super decompression; the romantic carousel, carrying the innocence and fantasy of childhood, whether it is children or adults, can find happiness here.
The park will also hold special activities according to different seasons, such as the tulip festival in spring and the lily exhibition in autumn, which always bring different surprises. The staff are enthusiastic and considerate, the entrance instructions are clear and clear, and any questions can be helped in time. The food in the dining area is diverse and can meet different tastes, and the prices are relatively reasonable.
Manhua Manor is simply a dreamland in the suburbs of Chengdu. Stepping into the manor, it's like walking into a sea of flowers. More than 5,000 kinds of precious flowers such as tulips, cherry blossoms, and roses are blooming, and the four seasons are picturesque. Whether it is the romantic love slope or the spectacular kilometer-long Longsha gem wall, it makes people intoxicated. Not only that, the manor's recreational facilities are also very rich, such as carousels, small trains, etc., so that adults and children can find happiness. In the cute pet park, the cute animals add a lot of fun. When you are tired of playing, you can also rest next to the flower cabin and taste the reasonably priced food in the park. The service in the park is also very considerate, the staff is warm and thoughtful, and the signboards are clear and clear. In short, Manhua Manor combines beautiful scenery, entertainment, and food. Whether it is a parent-child tour, a couple's date, or a gathering with friends, it is an excellent choice. I strongly recommend everyone to experience it!
