Because you can get free admission by reciting Li Bai's "The Difficult Road to Shu" in its entirety, I think it's a great value! I hope other scenic spots will follow suit. The scenery is also beautiful. There are monkey and bird paths to choose from. It's a great value and highly recommended!
Experience the Stunning Affair of World-Class Cultural Heritage
Dujiangyan, a "living miracle of hydraulic engineering," showcases the extraordinary wisdom of the ancients with its Yuzui Diversion Dike and Baopingkou dikes. Visitors can directly experience how this 2,000-year-old design continues to nourish the Chengdu Plain today, making it a perfect spot for family study tours or history enthusiasts.
Convenient Transportation and Seasonal Enjoyment
Just 30 minutes from Chengdu by high-speed rail, it's a popular choice for day trips. The scenery changes with each season: enjoy flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, admire ginkgo trees in autumn, and witness snow in winter, with no traditional off-season.
Abundant Tourist Attractions
The thrill of Anlan Bridge, the ancient buildings of Erwang Temple, the night view of South Bridge (especially stunning after the lights are on at 7:00 PM), and the panoramic views of Yulei Pavilion are all worth experiencing.

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 🍍🍍🍍

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.
It was much smaller than I thought. It rained heavily on the 16th and I got soaked and hid in a teahouse. The waiter didn't even let the children in and kept asking everyone to wait outside the door. It was very commercial and uncomfortable.

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.
There are quite a lot of people, but it's okay, just wander around. After all, it is set in the Three Kingdoms period and has traditional Chinese Shu culture, so it is quite attractive.

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 hotel is located on Bayi Food Street. Just downstairs, turn right and you'll find Jiefangbei. It's a short walk to all the surrounding attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. I was very satisfied with my stay.
I went there at noon, and there were not many people. I queued for less than ten minutes before I got on the other side. It was worth the experience. The scenery on both sides was pleasant. There was also an observation deck on the south bank for taking photos, which was very nice. Xiahaoli is not far away, so you can visit it together.
