It was a great experience seeing the pandas so close. Ju.st be aware that you need to fo early morning to see the pandas in action, as they get less active the later the day. I would recommend starting from the west gate, as there are less people than the south gate( there is a subway and bus direct to West gate)
Tickets worked perfect. Amazing place to see so many pandas. It rained when we were there but only for a while but some.of the pandas are still actively eating even with the rain.This place is massive so prepare to walk a lot but absolutely worth it to see so many pandas.

Dujiangyan is over 60 kilometers from Chengdu city. The entrance fee to the scenic area is 80 yuan, and the sightseeing bus is 15 yuan, which I don't think is necessary. It's a very short walk. There's also an escalator to the top of the mountain; I don't know how much that costs. Baopingkou (Bottle-Neck Pass) is very beautiful; the river water is green. I didn't get to see the blue tears phenomenon at night.
A short gateway to enjoy the UNESCO rated sight with fresh air and interact with panda without the crowds, easy of transportation with train and didi, a MUST go when you are in Chengdu

Teacher Kaige's explanations were incredibly clear and logical, progressing step-by-step from the origins of cultural relics to their cultural significance. His language was both accessible and insightful, and the three-hour lecture was anything but boring. The children listened with rapt attention and even learned many interesting facts not found in their textbooks! The service throughout was also meticulous and thoughtful. A small group chat was created beforehand, providing helpful information on how to get to the meeting point using various transportation options. "Big Shots Talk" offers high-quality service and is highly recommended! 👍👍👍
Visiting the Sanxingdui exhibition definitely requires a guided tour! The automated guides feel too stiff; a human guide is much better. Miss Strawberry was incredibly dedicated throughout, explaining everything in great detail and answering all our questions. She helped us understand the history and this place with so many unsolved mysteries. The three-hour tour was tiring, but overall, it was well worth the trip!

It's easy to hail a taxi nearby, the environment is great, and the cultural atmosphere is strong. I highly recommend bringing children here, as they can not only cultivate their minds but also broaden their horizons. The only drawback is that there are basically no restaurants near the main entrance, so getting food can be a problem.
A certain level of cultural understanding is needed to truly appreciate Du Fu and his thatched cottage. Even a visit to Du Fu's thatched cottage that sparks his interest, prompts him to recite his poems, and helps him learn about the events surrounding his life is worthwhile.

Chengdu's Wuhou Temple is the only Three Kingdoms holy site in China where a ruler and his ministers are worshipped together. For 50 yuan, you can visit Tang Dynasty steles, Qing Dynasty sculptures, and Liu Bei's tomb, then take some popular photos of the "red walls and bamboo shadows." Jinli Ancient Street is right outside the temple.
Must-see highlights:
① Tang Dynasty Stele (“Three Perfections Stele”) – Inscribed by Pei Du and calligraphed by Liu Gongchuo, the earliest above-ground Three Kingdoms stele in China.
② Civil/Military Officials Corridor – 14 Qing Dynasty painted sculptures, showcasing the “all-stars” of Shu Han.
③ Liu Bei Hall – Gilded imperial statue + grandson Liu Chen as an attendant; a Ming Dynasty stele in front of the hall records the origin of the “joint worship of emperor and ministers”.
④ Zhuge Liang Hall – Hanging plaques inscribed “Famous Throughout the Universe” and “Jingyuan Hall”; statues of three generations of Zhuge Liang and his grandson + Zhao Fan’s “Winning Hearts and Minds Couplet”.
⑤ Sanyi Temple – Relocated by Emperor Kangxi, the only official temple dedicated to the oath of brotherhood between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the Peach Garden.
⑥ Huiling Red Wall – The joint tomb of Liu Bei and his two empresses; the red walls and bamboo shadows along the path are Chengdu’s most photogenic spot.
The only temple in China with “joint worship of emperor and ministers”, 50 After seeing all the Tang Dynasty steles, Qing Dynasty sculptures, and Liu Bei's tomb, and then taking advantage of the "Eternal Wisdom and Virtue" special exhibition, you can head straight to Jinli for some barbecue after taking photos of the red walls and bamboo shadows in the evening. This is a quick 1.5-hour tour for Three Kingdoms fans, and a whole day for culture enthusiasts.
The location is quite convenient, with a subway station nearby. The park isn't very large, but it has a rich cultural heritage. You can experience the culture of the Three Kingdoms period. Jinli Ancient Town is also nearby, which is worth a visit. Overall, a good experience.

Mount Qingcheng – the fifth most secluded Taoist grotto-heaven in China, known as "Qingcheng, the most secluded place under heaven." Located 16 km southwest of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, it is a World Natural Heritage site (part of the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries), a National 5A-level scenic area, and one of the birthplaces of the Quanzhen School of Taoism.
Scenic Area Divisions:
① Front Mountain – Taoist Culture + Temples + Cable Car (90 RMB entrance fee)
Representative Sites: Tianshi Cave, Shangqing Palace, Laojun Pavilion; Can be visited in half a day, suitable for first-time visitors.
② Back Mountain – Primeval Forest + Waterfalls + Cliffs (20 RMB entrance fee)
Representative Sites: Wulonggou, Youyicun, Baiyun Temple; 4-6 hours of hiking, wilder scenery, extremely high negative oxygen ion levels.
③ Outer Mountain – Puzhao Temple, Panda Valley; can be combined into a single route.
Mount Qingcheng incorporates "seclusion, Taoism, water, and clouds" into a 3-hour cable car loop. Enjoy tea at the ancient Tianshi Cave in the morning, climb Laojun Pavilion for snow-capped mountains at noon, and return to Chengdu for hot pot in the afternoon – truly deserving of the title "Chengdu's Backyard Garden."
Very nice! Need the whole day to really enjoy. Avoid national holidays

The young man providing service was very patient and spoke in a gentle tone. The experience was truly impressive; I was initially worried it might be boring, but I was completely wrong. The service was excellent and very good value for money.
It's a beautiful short trip, but waiting times are long, and the way it's organized might be confusing for foreigners. First you get a ticket and wait until your number is displayed on the screen. The get another ticket with another number, and wait until your number is pronounced - in Chinese. An English speaking girl helped me and told me that 47 should be sǐ shi ți - but without her help I would get lost. Keep in mind that numbers might be pronounced adding <hao> in the end, which means 'ticket'

Entering the park directly is very convenient. It seems that the flow of people is concentrated in the area where the panda pavilion is located, where there are crowds all the time. The advantage is that there is no limit to the number of people, and you can stay there as long as you like. However, the number of visitors to other animals is limited.
The weather was nice to be out in the zoo looking at the cute pandas. There are also other animals (eg white tiger, jaguar, red panda). The red pandas were also cute and fun loving . A nice place to spend with family and friends!

On the way to Dujiangyan, we went there early in the morning. The parking lot was closed for some reason. The area inside wasn't very big, but there were about eight or nine giant pandas eating breakfast, munching on bamboo leaves—they were so adorable! There were also red pandas, which were especially cute. We were able to see them up close.
All the Panda are sleeping by the time we arrived. But they still very cute and have a lesser crowd. Easy to take photos and a nice morning stroll. Recommended!
