    Location: If driving, directly navigate to Wawushan Visitor Center. It's a 3-4 hour drive from Chengdu. Environment: The air is quite good, but it was still quite cold when I went as it wasn't snowing. The autumn leaves are quite beautiful. Value for Money: Not very cost-effective. The weather wasn't great when I went, and the entrance fee was quite expensive.

    Since we entered the panda base in the afternoon, most of the pandas were sleeping, so we didn't see many. If I come again, I should go to the panda base to see the pandas in the morning and then go to the zoo in the afternoon. The scenery in the canyon was just average.

    My trip during the National Day holiday was pretty good. The area was orderly, and the queues weren't too long, making it a great place for family trips with kids. Here's a little tip: the scenic area is basically a circular route. If you're interested in the rides, choose to walk counter-clockwise once you enter the area; the queues won't be too long.

    We went with one adult and one child. I was a college student and it cost 68 yuan, while my mother cost 260 yuan. Overall, it was a bit expensive and we didn't think it was worth the price. The jellyfish exhibit, which we were most looking forward to, was not open when we went, which was a huge disappointment.

    The Wuhou Temple is definitely worth visiting. I went there with a sense of reverence because I love reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and admire Zhuge Liang. I saw the two memorials to the emperor, many rubbings, and statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and many other heroes of Shu Han. The environment inside is also quite nice, and many tourists were taking photos.

    It was a tentative blush of red from a couple of lamps on the eaves, then the crimson light flowed across the entire street with a "whoosh," spreading a warm glow across the bluestone pavement. The bamboo chairs in the Three Kingdoms Teahouse were empty, but the covered teacups still steamed, as if the person who had just been fanning themselves while listening to the storyteller had only gotten up to buy a skewer of candied fruit. The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns in the air was real, while the lingering notes of the erhu on the stage were ethereal; between reality and illusion, the legends of the Shu Han dynasty took on a fuzzy outline in the flickering lamplight. I stopped at the sugar-blowing stall. The old craftsman twisted his fingertips, and golden sugar syrup blossomed into a translucent lotus flower—it turns out the sweetness of this city can be held in your hand, trembling and coming to life with a gentle breath. As I turned, the red walls of the Wuhou Temple were fading into the deepening night, while the lights of Jinli were just beginning to tell the stories the day hadn't finished.

    There's a decent VR experience. The lines are relatively short. Book in advance to minimize wait times. You can also explore the area around the pier, where you can interact with NPCs and even sing.

    I booked my tickets online almost a month in advance, but I couldn't choose my seats. I arrived at 7 pm that evening, picked up my tickets, and my seats were numbers 14, 16, and 18 in a row, slightly to the right of the middle. It felt like most of the good seats were taken by tour groups. The performance was excellent and worth seeing. We arrived early and had some covered-bowl tea on the first floor.

    Check out Du Fu Thatched Cottage! Passing through the rustic wooden gate, a thatched pavilion nestled among bamboo groves houses the inscription "Shaoling Thatched Cottage," while the statue of the poet saint in front of the Grand Hall is both solemn and approachable. Every blade of grass and every tree is imbued with the charm of Tang poetry, as if you can hear the recitations from a thousand years ago—it's definitely worth it.

    Arriving just in time for the ginkgo leaves to turn golden, a visit to the Sichuan Provincial Museum offers a unique experience. Besides the permanent exhibitions, they are setting up other temporary displays. A museum visit isn't a once-in-a-lifetime event; frequent visits are the best way to go.
