It is really necessary to visit a museum and have a reliable guide. I took my son to a VIP private guide for two people. Although there was no microphone and there were quite a lot of people, it did not affect the experience at all. The lady was very attentive and prepared a lot of materials on her phone to accompany the explanation. It was very vivid.
Sanxingdui is definitely worth a visit.
The reserved tickets and explanations were excellent.
The bamboo beauty's explanation was very interesting. A more in-depth explanation is a must. Everyone was happy to attend, and it was a fascinating experience. The children kept up with the entire experience. My son loved it, too. 😍
Please make sure to check out the last photo. Bamboo beauty 🍍🍍🍍

A must-see check-in spot in Chengdu, inside the wetland park. The outside environment is nice and shady with green trees. There is a three-person sculpture attraction in the park, and there are many famous poems underground. It is still a good place to take children for a walk. The scenic area is still very large, but there are not many things related to Du Fu. 🤣. Along the way, there were many people during the summer vacation... Complaint: this is also considered an educational base, and the 50 yuan ticket is actually a bit expensive...
Today's itinerary was particularly meaningful. We followed Teacher Liu into Du Fu's Thatched Cottage and strolled through it. Every brick and tile was imbued with Du Fu's deep love for his country and family. Teacher Liu's explanations were excellent, lively, and engaging, allowing the children to follow along closely. We learned about the poet's turbulent life, from his early years filled with lofty ambitions to his middle age, when he experienced the An-Shi Rebellion and displacement. His poetry gradually shifted from expressing personal ambition to deeply descriptive portrayals of social realities and the suffering of ordinary people. Each poem truly captured that turbulent era. We felt as if we were immersed in the turbulent times of the Tang Dynasty, experiencing Du Fu's joys, sorrows, and anger. The simple wooden gate and the solemn and awe-inspiring Temple of the Ministry of Works were awe-inspiring. Here, we learned that Du Fu had been awarded the title of "Reviewer of the Ministry of Works." Huang Tingjian and Lu You are enshrined on either side of Du Fu's statue within the temple. All three of them were dedicated to the art of poetry, and their legacy lives on today.
The most anticipated attraction is the thatched cottage area. This recreated thatched cottage, where Du Fu once lived, depicted the simple furnishings of a mansion where "there was no dry place by the bed, and the rain fell like hemp, but it never stopped." Du Fu's life was truly harrowing, yet despite this, he still managed to express his profound concern for the world by expressing his desire for a thousand mansions, "To shelter all the poor and the poor, and to bring them joy." This compassion for the world deeply moved the students. They gathered together, diligently filling out study guides and sharing their understanding of Du Fu's poetry, appreciating the poetry's charm and the poet's greatness through this exchange. Studying at Du Fu's Thatched Cottage not only allowed us to understand Du Fu's life and poetry, but also, through the interplay of history and present, to appreciate the profoundness of China's fine traditional culture.

Overall it's good. It's just too tiring to explore in one day. I think it would take three or four days to explore nearby. This isn't just one mountain, it's a group of mountains. I wanted to hike up the mountain at first, looking at guides and asking locals, but I still took the wrong route the next day. I would advise first-time visitors to just take the sightseeing bus. If you want to hike, the cable car to the Golden Summit alone is enough to make you suffer.
Take a bus to Leidongping and then hike all the way to the summit, which takes about 2-3 hours. It's plenty of time for children, and then take the cable car and bus back to the mountain entrance.
The cultural information during the hike was minimal, so I didn't fully grasp the essence. It was just a scramble, so there wasn't much fun or insight, which was a pity.

A Millennium-Long Echo of the Courageous Cooperation Between Emperor and Minister
Stepping into the Wuhou Shrine, the sight of red walls lining the aisles and towering ancient cypresses instantly draws one into the epic epic of the Three Kingdoms era. This is China's only temple dedicated to the joint enshrinement of an emperor and his ministers, connecting the Han Zhaolie Temple, the Wuhou Shrine, and the Huiling Mausoleum along a central axis. Every brick and tile bears the legend of the close and harmonious relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. In the Liu Bei Hall, a statue of the emperor sits majestically, flanked by galleries of civil and military officials, whose array of colorful sculptures recreates the heroic figures of the Shu Han dynasty. Passing through a secluded hall, the Zhuge Liang Hall features a plaque reading "Jingyuan Hall," where a statue of Wu Hou, adorned with a feather fan and a long turban, stands serenely within. The resonant words of the Qing Dynasty "Attack the Heart Couplet" adorning the eaves—"If you can conquer the heart, rebellion will naturally vanish. Since ancient times, we've known that war is not about warmongering"—embody the wisdom of governing a nation and maintaining peace. The hall is densely covered with Tang and Song dynasty inscriptions, particularly the "Three Wonders Stele," which bears the highest tribute to the partnership between emperor and minister. Strolling deep within the renowned red walls and bamboo groves of Jinguancheng, dappled light and shadows cast across the bluestone pavement, one feels as if relived the heartfelt friendship of Zhuge Liang offering advice and Liu Bei entrusting his son to him. The unique structure of this temple, a millennium-long fusion of private worship and official worship, is a vivid illustration of the principle of mutual assistance between ruler and minister—a historical collision of wisdom and loyalty, transformed here into an eternal spiritual totem.
The characters from books and the plots from television shows are brought to life here in the most intuitive way. This is the sacred place I've longed to visit. There's no disappointment, just the inevitable sadness: death before achieving success.

The Leshan Giant Buddha's head is as tall as the mountain, 14.7 meters high and 10 meters wide, with a bun on his head and 7-meter-long ears. It is carved into the mountain and sits majestically overlooking the river, looking solemn and majestic.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is quite interesting. We hired a guide for 120 RMB, which explained everything from the Buddha's head to its head. I recommend waiting for the gates to open at 7:30 AM; the first wave of people is quite small. However, we finished our tour of Wuyou Temple and left at 12:00 PM. By then, the crowds were quite large.

It's convenient. I bought a ticket on Ctrip and could enter the scenic area by simply swiping my ID card. The front entrance is all stairs, so it's not that difficult. You can also take the cable car. You can also take a boat ride on Yuecheng Lake. The ticket is 5 yuan per person (the same price 10 years ago), which is worth experiencing.
There were a lot of people during the peak summer season, so my enthusiasm for traveling was a bit dampened. There were so many people queuing for the cable car that I decided to climb up by myself. I booked a show, which the children loved, but the adults didn't feel much.

After returning from Jiuzhaigou, I went to Siguniang Mountain. I was worried that the scenery would be the same, but I thought too much. The Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is so spectacular. I wonder how beautiful it will be in winter. The nanny car on the way back was quite spacious and parked in the ground parking lot. It was very convenient to park in Yipintianxia when returning to Chengdu.
The scenery is still okay, but the road is too congested, especially the last five kilometers to the entrance of the scenic spot. It is a mess both entering and exiting. It takes ten hours on the road and one hour to see the scenery.

The zoo opens before 8 o'clock. You must go early to see the giant pandas. They are quite lively and the red pandas are also very cute. The tree climbing is 666. The ticket price is 24. Children's tickets are half price. It is very cost-effective and worth spending 2-3 hours to play.
The giant pandas are superstars. Go early and clock out when it gets hot. There are many other animals. Transportation is very convenient. There is a light rail directly to the entrance. The East Second Gate is the main entrance and it is very close to the Giant Panda Pavilion.
