KY LeonIf you want to see HUA HUA, her rest day is Monday. The outdoor enclosures for the pandas are nearer to the south entrance. We extend the West entrance where we encountered many touts offering car services and misleading information that there are no buses available. Ignore them and walk to the bus station to wait for buses (RMB 2 per person) to the metro station. Free admission for visitors aged 60 and above

Anonymous userFor those who haven't been, I recommend checking it out. It has a wide variety of animals and offers a rich experience. I was most impressed by the seals and monkeys. Unfortunately, it was around midday when I went, and the animals were taking their afternoon nap, so I didn't see many. Overall, it's a great trip and definitely worth the money.

难 得糊 涂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.

M68***82Chengdu Liyuan Opera House Performance Review | A Sichuan Opera Feast Worth Every Penny I visited Chengdu during the New Year and Spring Festival holidays and was recommended the Liyuan Opera House by a local friend. Initially, I just wanted to "take a casual look," but I was completely blown away! The entire 70-minute performance was captivating! Multiple ticket types are available, offering excellent value. The ancient stage with its green tiles and red walls has a fantastic atmosphere, adorned with red lanterns, creating an overwhelming festive feel. The opening act, "Rolling Lanterns with Oil Lamps," immediately ignited the atmosphere. The actors performed various acrobatic and thrilling stunts while balancing oil lamps on their heads, eliciting continuous laughter and applause from the audience.

点都不沉默As a long-time resident of Chengdu, I've walked through Kuanzhai Alley countless times, visiting several times a year. This winter wasn't too cold; the ginkgo leaves only turned yellow in December, with some still green. At this time, Kuanzhai Alley and the surrounding alleys are laden with golden leaves, making it perfect for a stroll. It's very popular, with tourists from all over the world wandering around, and even the ear-cleaning service is quite enjoyable. When you're tired from walking, simply find a spot in Kuanzhai Alley to have some tea – it's truly a delightful experience. #ExperienceTeaAndEarCleaning #KuanzhaiAlley
