The location is superb — just outside Chengdu — where you can see over so many giant pandas, red pandas and their cubs in one place! Just don’t go during China’s Golden Week holidays (first 8 days of Oct every year) like me, where it will be extremely crowded.
A trip to the Chengdu Research Base of Panda Breeding is definitely worthwhile. There are sightseeing buses available right outside the south gate, making the ride relatively comfortable. It's recommended to enter the park around noon, as the waiting time for the pandas will be much shorter.

It was pretty good! The children learned a lot. We hired a guide specifically for them. We arrived early, and the guide cost 30 yuan per person. Only the three of us kids got a guided tour, and the effect was fantastic. By the time we finished our visit around 11 a.m. and were ready to leave, there were noticeably more visitors.
Excellent! The environment is beautiful and lush. Children can even see poems by various masters. It's definitely worth a visit. You can easily spend half a day exploring the indoor area, or two or three hours just walking around and looking at everything.

Chengdu's Wenshufang, located at No. 66 Wenshuyuan Street in Qingyang District, is a national AAAA-level open-air historical and cultural district built around the ancient Wenshuyuan Temple. Admission is free and the area is open 24 hours a day, though it's recommended to plan a three- to four-hour visit. The district's architectural style is inspired by traditional western Sichuan courtyards, with blue tiles, white walls, and carved eaves. This creates a unique "courtyard-style commercial street" feel, earning it the nickname "Chengdu's Double Embroidery"—the sound of Buddhist chants echoes within the red walls, while the bustling market life unfolds beyond.
Wenshufang's core identity can be summarized as "Zen culture combined with traditional Chengdu folk customs." Within the district, there's a temple every 100 steps and a pagoda every 1,000 steps. In addition to Wenshuyuan Temple (built in the Sui Dynasty and inscribed by Emperor Kangxi), the district also preserves the remains of the "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples," including the Five Mountains Palace, Lengjia Nunnery, and Aido Hall. This area boasts the most concentrated religious and cultural heritage in Chengdu's old city. Building on this foundation, the neighborhood has incorporated elements such as the "Empty Forest Zen Road" market for Zen-inspired goods, the "Manjusri Blessed Land" cluster of protected courtyards, the "Folk Old Street" offering intangible cultural heritage crafts, the "Chengdu Salon" teahouse featuring antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as the "Old Chengdu Food Court" and "Tianzi Food Hall." This all-in-one experience combines incense worship, Hanfu travel photography, gaiwan tea, Sichuan Opera face-changing, and century-old snacks (such as dragon wontons, Zhong dumplings, and Lai glutinous rice balls). The atmosphere is enhanced by the lighting of lanterns at night.
Wenshufang is a free historical district offering the most concentrated and convenient experience of old Chengdu: burning incense, enjoying vegetarian food, drinking tea, watching opera, strolling the ancient streets, enjoying snacks, shopping for cultural products, and photographing Hanfu costumes. For a quick experience of slow living and the essence of Zen, simply add this area to your half-day itinerary.
Enjoy an authentic Sichuan opera performance at the Liyuan Guildhall while sipping large bowls of tea. The show consists of nine performances, and the finale, the face-changing, was the most memorable. The 70-minute performance was packed with action and highly recommended.

Strolling through the Chengdu Museum is like walking through a time tunnel. From the simple stone tools of the Neolithic Age to the bustling street scenes of the Republic of China era, every artifact tells the story of the vicissitudes and glory of the "Land of Abundance." The historical exhibition "Flowers Bloom in Chengdu" takes you back to ancient Shu, while the shadow puppetry "Shadows Dancing in Myriad Forms" showcases the dynamism of folk art. This is not only a museum of history, but also a warm home for the shared memories of the people of Chengdu, allowing visitors to deeply feel the city's profound cultural heritage and unique charm.
The tour guide was amazing! The best guide I had during my 7-day trip to Chengdu. I gained a deep understanding of Chengdu's history and culture, and learned a lot. Highly recommended!

Is was such an amazing place. Good experience for such a low price, I would recommend it to everyone
A huge museum! We originally went to see the children's art exhibition, but since we were already there, we also visited the museum's exhibits. The categories were very detailed: dinosaurs, gorillas, lions, birds, butterflies… it really is a huge encyclopedia! It's definitely worth bringing children to visit, allowing them to learn more about nature through hands-on experience. The tickets are also very affordable, making it especially suitable for family trips.

A highly worthwhile trip! Not only can you observe pandas up close, but you also learn a lot about them. Watching them break bamboo, make steamed buns, and cut bamboo leaves is very fun, and there are guides providing detailed explanations. Little Hu is particularly impressive; she can not only identify the different pandas but also knows their interesting stories. A must-see for panda lovers!
The Dujiangyan Giant Panda Park is also an excellent place to see pandas. It's easily accessible, not far from the Qingcheng Mountain High-Speed Railway Station, and there are also good hotels nearby. The park itself isn't very large, but there are many pandas! Once the pandas come out to their enclosure, they aren't often obstructed by trees, offering a wide viewing angle. The park's slopes aren't very steep, and since early December is the off-season, there aren't many tourists, so you can watch for as long as you like!
Love this place so much. Get to see the pandass from close up. Very cute. The place also not crowded and accesible. The only complain is the bugee ride is very scarce so you have to walk alot on your own.

Getting to Shunan Bamboo Sea is very convenient now; it's just a few minutes from the highway exit. The scenery inside the scenic area is beautiful, and you can even see pandas. I searched online and found the top-ranked hotel, which I heard is the best hotel in the scenic area: Shunan Cultural Tourism Resort Hotel. The hotel has very complete facilities, a swimming pool, beautiful scenery, and excellent service. I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance!
There were only 4 pandas in total, and the ticket price was 24, but there was a discount at the time, and we got 40 for three people. The panda-themed cultural and creative store next door was ridiculously expensive, with a very small panda plush toy costing three or four hundred.

Chengdu Zoo, located between the North Second Ring Road and the North Third Ring Road in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, on the right side of Chuanshan Road, adjacent to the Zhaojue Temple Bus Station, and facing the famous Zhaojue Temple in western Sichuan across a wall, is 4 kilometers from the city center. The zoo covers an area of 17.73 hectares, with a green coverage rate of 88.41%.
Established in 1953, Chengdu Zoo is a partially funded public institution approved by the Chengdu Municipal Commission for Organization and Establishment. After nearly 50 years of construction and development, it now boasts over 30 animal enclosures of various designs, and has become a specialized park exhibiting over 300 species and more than 3,000 individuals of various mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and ornamental goldfish, including nationally protected rare and endangered wild animals. It receives 1.8 million visitors annually.
Chengdu Zoo has been awarded the title of "Global 500" by the United Nations Environment Programme.
It has been awarded the title of "Top Ten Zoos in China" by the Ministry of Construction.
It has been awarded the title of "National Excellent Science Popularization Education Base" by the China Association for Science and Technology, among other honors. Chengdu Zoo boasts convenient transportation, a prime location, beautiful environment, and pleasant scenery; I highly recommend it.
For those who haven't been, I recommend checking it out. It has a wide variety of animals and offers a rich experience. I was most impressed by the seals and monkeys. Unfortunately, it was around midday when I went, and the animals were taking their afternoon nap, so I didn't see many. Overall, it's a great trip and definitely worth the money.

Chengdu Happy Valley offers a variety of thrilling rides, with impressive roller coasters and themed shows; the environment is clean and cheerful, making it suitable for family trips; while queues can be a bit long, the service is excellent. Overall, a perfect experience, highly recommended for a weekend trip!
This place is worth a visit as it has thrilling rides! We went in September and there were not much crowds. We spent the whole day there and there’s even a mini zoo there! Most of the rides only operate from 11am so you can arrive 30mins beforehand. There is go kart racing as well which I 100% recommend others to try out as well.

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.
The Sichuan Museum, the largest comprehensive museum in Southwest China, was founded in 1941 and is located at No. 47, 251 Huanhua South Road, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, covering a total area of 12,000 square meters.
In 2009, the new building was completed and its name was changed from "Sichuan Museum" to "Sichuan Museum."
