Thought we will spent couple hours recommeded but end up we spent over 7hrs to explore the park and spot every pandas 🐼 🐼 and walk over 20k steps maybe it was low peak season the park looks rather empty and very little acrivity which was good as we can take our times to scroll slowly and peacefully
The facility is well-maintained, clean, and organised, with clear signage and viewing areas that allow visitors to watch the pandas without disturbing them. I really appreciated how the centre focuses on conservation, research, and education rather than just being a tourist attraction. You genuinely learn a lot about panda breeding, care, and protection efforts.If you go in the morning, you’ll catch the pandas during their most active time — eating, climbing, or playing. It’s such a joyful and heart-warming sight! There are also red pandas, a museum area, and plenty of spots to rest and take photos.

The tour guide was very professional and patient in explaining things on-site. We communicated in advance to confirm the reception location and time, and the on-site explanation service, which was originally scheduled for 2 hours, went far beyond what was expected. The elderly were very satisfied!
Highly recommend and thank you to Professor Zhou Huan for her three-hour insightful lecture. Our family of three learned a great deal. Professor Zhou Huan was very patient, providing a wealth of practical information. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of Sanxingdui culture. My 7-year-old child listened attentively throughout the entire lecture thanks to Professor Zhou's meticulous explanations. I believe we will definitely come again in a few years when our child is older.

The weather was lovely, the environment was lovely, the air was lovely, everything felt so natural and comfortable. I could leisurely stroll around for a day, replenishing my extremely knowledge-poor brain. I love Caotang, I'll definitely visit again next time.
The content is excellent, the landscaping is beautiful, and the scenery is unique, making it perfect for student study tours! It allows students to learn about the integrity of poets and scholars, and to gain a deeper understanding of the ancients! It's best to hire a guide inside so you can learn even more!

สถานที่กว้างใหญ่ ร่มรื่น เจ้าหน้าที่ดูแลดี การบริการจัดการดี น้องแพนด้าน่ารัก ซื้อตั๋วจาก trip แล้วนำพาสปอร์ตไปยื่นให้เจ้าหน้าที่แล้วเข้าได้เลย สะดวกมากๆ
I went here on the same day as Dujiangyan, and arrived early in the morning. There weren't many pandas, but it wasn't crowded either. The environment was very nice, although the coffee inside was just average. You have to bring your own coffee, but the coffee cups are still nice for taking photos.

I was fortunate enough to visit Jinsha before it closed. It was wonderful.
With Professor Zhou's explanation, stepping into Jinsha felt like traveling through time. The famous gold foil depicting the Sun Bird was as thin as a cicada's wing yet shone brilliantly. Looking at the jade artifacts, gold objects, and massive ebony pieces, I felt they weren't just silently displayed, but were quietly telling stories from three thousand years ago—about the ingenuity of artisans, the solemnity of rituals, and the lives of ordinary people.
Professor Zhou's explanation was excellent; I highly recommend this immersive tour—it's very interesting.
The Jinsha Site Museum offers a glimpse into the archaeological excavation site, which is quite eye-opening and different from the Sanxingdui Museum. While it doesn't have as many exhibits as Sanxingdui, its collection is smaller but of higher quality, especially the Sun Bird Gold Plate. We were fortunate to hear a full guided tour by Wang Feng, a lecturer with over 30 years of experience. His explanations were insightful and easy to understand, covering not only the Jinsha Site but also the history, culture, and geography of the Chengdu Plain. Our child listened attentively and benefited greatly. We hope to have the opportunity to book another guided tour of the Sichuan Museum with Wang Feng in the future.

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.

The Chengdu Museum holds various exhibitions from time to time. It has a great location, right next to the subway exit. Regular exhibitions are free, but reservations are required. Some solo exhibitions require additional tickets.
A highly recommended museum to visit. As a national museum, it not only boasts a vast collection of artifacts but also offers unique services and a variety of charming cultural and creative products. Volunteer guide Ms. Yuan's explanations were particularly excellent and captivating!

The Chengdu Natural History Museum is an absolute treasure trove! The 24-meter-long Mamenchisaurus skeleton from Hechuan is breathtaking, its 80% fossil content showcasing its immense age. The three main exhibits each offer something to see: the metallic luster of the Longchang iron meteorite and the complete form of the Dazhu Chongqing fish fossil both inspire awe at the wonders of nature.
The exhibition layout is clear, tracing the evolution of geology and the origins of life. Cutting-edge technologies like AR interactive exhibits and VR panda adventures make science education incredibly engaging. The butterfly wall is dazzling, the gem hall is shimmering, and the rare animal specimens are lifelike. Free stamp collection, convenient baggage storage facilities, a variety of nearby snacks, and direct subway access make it incredibly convenient.
Whether for family study tours or solo exploration, visitors can immerse themselves in the history and vitality of Earth, leaving with a sense of awe and enrichment—definitely worth visiting again and again!
It's a pretty good museum. The facilities are modern, the service is good, and the exhibits are plentiful.
I saw huge dinosaurs, and many other animals from the modern era. The biodiversity of Sichuan and Chongqing is truly impressive.

I chose this place between the Panda Garden and Panda Valley, mainly because it's close to my accommodation 😄. I was lucky; I saw many pandas active and eating. There are three main enclosures with both giant and red pandas.
We arrived at the panda park at 9 am. We saw the pandas leisurely strolling and eating bamboo. It was close enough to see them clearly. Having visited the panda breeding base in the city, this one felt much better! A complete loop takes only two hours on foot. Highly recommended!
