Things to do in Chengdu

I was worried that I wouldn’t see much pandas moving around since I got to the park after 10 am (everyone recommends to go as soon as the park opens to see active pandas). Even though I arrived later in the morning, I got to see lots of giant pandas moving around and even a red panda up close. The park is very big and I tried my best to see everything so I ended up walking around for 6 hours. I started from the West gate where it was less crowded and exited through the South gate where it was more crowded. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see Hua Hua (the famous panda) since the line was very long. I was happy with seeing any pandas in general so I was okay with skipping her enclosure. There was also lots of restaurants in the middle of the park so you won’t go hungry even if you stay there for the whole day.

Absolute highlight of my trip to China. It was an absolute joy to observe these wonderful animals, eating, playing, walking around, tumbling, sitting on a pool of water chilling out and then the Red Pandas walking all around and even above me as they cross over the pathways! I enjoyed it so much, I looped back around the giant panda section. Brilliantly laid out peaceful walk surrounded by trees. My tip, be there when it opens. I'd happily return to visit again.

The scenery in Jiuzhaigou is truly magnificent, with both snow and green forests. It feels like experiencing two seasons in one day, which is an amazing feeling! The water in Jiuzhaigou is crystal clear, almost transparent. The boardwalks, snowscapes, and 'haizi' (lakes) are all beautiful. Before I signed up, I saw a comment saying it wasn't very good, but after chatting with customer service, I decided to give it a try myself. It turned out to be quite good, and the travel agency's arrangements were very clear.

5 stars for the organization! The drivers and guides were incredibly punctual and thoughtful. Loved the balance of guided activity and free time. Even though the fog was thick and the monkeys were hiding, the team's energy kept the vibe high. Highly recommend.

The feeling of this tour experience pulls directly full thanks to Yangyang tour guide and driver master of the intimate service! Guide Yangyang is especially careful and thoughtful, the whole process to pay attention to the state of everyone in time to solve various problems, the explanation is also very interesting, let us harvest full.

We are a group of five senior friends who traveled to Chengdu and Chongqing. Klook travel designer Charley meticulously customized our itinerary, arranging everything according to our interests and abilities, making the overall trip rich in content and comfortable. The local tour teams in both cities were also very professional. Each day, they provided advance weather reminders, allowing us to prepare appropriate attire. Both drivers had excellent driving attitudes, ensuring safety and attentiveness, providing us with several comfortable long-distance travel experiences. Thank you all! The tour guides were also professional and attentive. Nancy in Chengdu and Xiao K in Chongqing gave us in-depth introductions to the local culture, history, customs, and unique attractions of each scenic spot, giving us a vivid sense of both cities and their human history. Thank you again for your care! Overall, the Klook team was very thoughtful in all aspects. Their professional service and enthusiastic attitude brought us unforgettable and joyful experiences during our 9-day trip.

I brought my parents here. Traveling by high-speed rail is much less strenuous for seniors! In the past, it took a whole day just to get to Jiuzhaigou, but now we can leave Chengdu in the morning and arrive at the scenic area by noon. At Huanglong Scenic Area, we took the ropeway up the mountain (80 yuan/person for the ascent) and then slowly walked down to see the Five-Color Ponds. Four hours was plenty of time for the visit. On the second day, the sightseeing bus in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area went directly to the core attractions, covering Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley, and Zechawa Valley. We walked about seven to eight thousand steps daily, and my parents weren't tired. Jiuzhaigou in July is lush green, the waterfalls are spectacularly full, and the air is fresh with the scent of plants and streams. Staying two nights at a hotel at the gully entrance meant we didn't have to move our luggage, which was very convenient. My parents enjoyed the Tibetan dinner and even watched a Guozhuang dance. The tour guide didn't enter the scenic area with us, but they explained all the important tips for visiting beforehand, which made the trip quite hassle-free.
