Things to do in Chengdu

It was a very nice exprecience! By the time we got there (~9:00-9:15), many pandas very sleeping with probably a full belly, but still, you could see them moving and looking towards you, they were super cute! The nature is amazing around the park, which gives another meaning to the park besides the pandas, so its not only a panda park in my opinion. We went on Sunday, so there were many people, but still an acceptable amount, it wasn’t frustrating! Try it yourself!:)

Great big park which is quite modern. Walkable by foot in about 3-4 hours from one end to the other. lots of different panda to see, and a selection of food options. just scan passport at gate and walk in

transport was provided from hotel to meeting point before proceeding to Bipenggou. Driver is safe and professional. Bipenggou is worth a visit for those who can take altitude of 3800m despite the long bus ride. it is not very crowded and gives a lot of personal space for reflection at 3800m.

I recommend this place. It is perhaps the most affordable attraction to see pandas in China, and you can see other animals as well. Unlike other parks that are crowded with long lines, this place is not crowded at all and has very few visitors. I had a very pleasant morning here.

you can get in easily with your passport ID. this ancient waterworks built 2000 years ago is really amazing and benefited many generations until this day (it's still in use). highly recommend getting a guide. if u alight at dujiangyan station, there is bus and tour guide available multiple trips a day (I choose 1 way shuttlebus at 12rmb + guide at 40 RMB)

The Sichuan opera show was worth watching. We got the perfect seats! Not too near nor too far. Just a platform above which was just right! We get snacks and unlimited tea too.

Agency will buy the 2 ways tickets for the high speed train and Entrance (included) but the bus inside the compound is sold separately (agency will buy first and you need to pay them later). A 5A-rated tourist attraction and truly a paradise on Earth! With crystal-clear lakes, colourful mountains, and breathtaking scenery, every corner feels like a dream. A beautiful masterpiece of nature! 🍁🏔️💙

A thoroughly successful excursion that was definitely worth getting up early for. The transfer to the Grand Buddha was very relaxing due to the comfortable XXL lounge seats on the bus, allowing us to get some more sleep during the ride. After an impressive boat tour with views of the Buddha, we continued to Mount Emei. There, an excellent lunch awaited us with a variety of about 10 different dishes. The subsequent ascent by bus and cable car to the temple complex above the clouds was simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience and a clear recommendation!

I have to give a special shout-out to our Chinese tour guide, A Jia! We were scheduled to depart at 5 AM, and she was already waiting at the meeting point more than ten minutes early. On the bus, she had prepared oxygen, and the "travel essentials" (neck pillow, eye mask, earplugs), and she went around asking if anyone suffered from motion sickness. During the three-hour drive, she didn't stop talking, sharing legends about the four peaks of Mount Siguniang, the Jiarong Tibetan culture, the geological formation of Shuangqiao Valley, and even the principles behind the Dujiangyan irrigation system. It was ten times more engaging than anything I could have found researching online myself. The most thoughtful gesture was that she helped everyone pre-purchase their sightseeing bus tickets (70 RMB, self-paid), saving us from waiting in line. Before entering the scenic area, she even drew a tour route map, marking the best photo spots at each stop and suggesting time allocations. Although group tour guides don't enter the scenic area with us, her pre-trip explanation was more than enough for us to fully enjoy our visit.
