For Huahua, I go to Chengdu every year. I can see Huahua every time, which satisfies my cat-loving mood. However, in addition to Huahua, there are still many beautiful cats worth seeing. I will still go there if I have the chance.
When I brought my kids to Chengdu, the first thing I wanted to do was see the adorable giant pandas. So I went to the Giant Panda Breeding Base, firstly because it had a popular flower shop, and secondly because it was conveniently located near the city center and could be reached by subway.

I heard that it is difficult to book tickets for Sanxingdui, so I never thought about going there. Not long ago, they held an exhibition of Sanxingdui at the Beijing Capital Museum. I went to see it and found that the Large Standing Man was not the real thing, but a smaller version. So I decided to come to Sanxingdui to see it in person. The tickets for Sanxingdui are quite easy to buy. The exhibits are very exquisite and the craftsmanship is very complicated. I wonder how they did it thousands of years ago. I won’t say much here. If you are interested, you should go to the scene to experience it in person.
The explanation was very detailed and patient, but the overall duration exceeded the original time limit. Sanxingdui still needs an explanation; it would be completely confusing if I were to read it on my own.

🌿Du Fu Thatched Cottage | A Quiet Corner in a Bustling City
"West of Wanli Bridge stands a thatched cottage, and the waters of Baihua Pond are like waves." The Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum is located on the banks of Chengdu's Huanhua Creek, west of Wanli Bridge. Du Fu lived here for four years, the most peaceful years of his later life. During these years, he penned over 240 beloved poems. "I wish I had a thousand mansions, to shelter all the poor and bring joy to their faces" is undoubtedly the most iconic line from Du Fu's Thatched Cottage.
PS: If you're visiting with children, you'll definitely need a tour guide who can explain Du Fu's life story, his friendships with his friends, and his profound understanding of his personality and the influence of contemporary society on his poetry.
I thought Du Fu's Thatched Cottage was small, but it turned out to be incredibly large. I couldn't find the exit in the end. 😁
The thatched cottage described in the poem "The Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind," the stone statue of Du Fu, his friendship with Li Bai, and the charming garden are well worth a visit.

I've been to the Chongqing Zoo many times and every time I discover something new. There are so many giant pandas. I love them so much. I even saw a giant panda with a baby when I went there recently. They were so cute. The location is also very convenient. The subway and car are both good.
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.

A friend recommended me to go to Jinsha to learn about the history of the Shang Dynasty. I invited Mr. Yuan to explain it to us. He not only taught us about Jinsha, but also extended a lot of other knowledge to us.
The Jinsha Ruins' exhibition hall is designed so that some excavation areas lack air conditioning, while others have air conditioning in the exhibition areas. With temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, this should be indicated when purchasing tickets online so visitors can be prepared (e.g., with small fans). This suggests the site's management is somewhat shoddy. Visitors to the ruins felt like they were in a sauna, and the explanations were difficult to follow, leaving a less than pleasant experience. The museum is 30% visual and 70% lecturing. There are no official tour guides, but instead, tour guides from travel agencies lead group tours. Honestly, the explanations are quite average.

A must-see destination in Dujiangyan, highly recommended.
Our driver, Mr. Dai, was attentive and nice, with excellent driving skills. I fully experienced the hospitality of the Chengdu people and received a five-star rating. 👍👍👍
Panda Valley was really nice. We saw a lot of pandas. Just a few moving ones, hahaha. Most were still. I saw a lot of butts. Luckily, we caught the keeper feeding the pandas, so we saw them eating bamboo. Very cute.

Folk art performances. Besides face-changing, several other folk performances are also worth seeing. They restore the original flavor of local opera. This is probably what folk performances used to be like. Enjoy some light refreshments, a cup of tea, and some sunflower seeds—a simple and enjoyable way to entertain yourself.
I went to Chengdu to experience Sichuan Opera. The overall feeling was average. The venue and costumes were a bit old. My favorite parts were the face-changing performances and the rubber band lighting. There was a very beautiful girl with dimples when she smiled.

The weather was perfect today, and the whole experience was truly wonderful. Meltwater from the snow-capped mountains converges into streams, forming terraced lakes and ponds in the Yellow River. The water is crystal clear, and its color varies from yellow to green, cyan to blue, depending on the sediments on the bottom and the colors of the trees and mountains.
The scenery is beautiful and the tourist facilities in the scenic area are complete, but it is not very friendly for hiking: there are no toilets on the plank roads between the scenic spots, there are no chairs for rest along the way, and there are relatively few hot water supply points at the scenic spots.

The Chengdu Museum is still worth a visit. It helps to understand the history of Chengdu. The teacher explained it in detail for 3 hours without a break. Fortunately, I found a teacher, otherwise it would be too late to see it by myself.
Guide Yang's explanation was wonderful, well-versed in history and the present, and full of positive energy. You can feel her love for this city from her words. I will arrange for a big-name speaker next time I come.

The trails wind through a sea of flowers, and the gentle breeze brings fragrance to your face. It's a soothing secret haven outside the bustling city, and every frame is like an overturned palette.
