Ting å gjøre i Chengdu

En gjennomført vellykket utflukt, der det definitivt var verdt å stå tidlig opp. Transporten til Den store Buddha var veldig avslappende takket være de komfortable XXL-loungestolene i bussen, slik at man kunne sove litt på turen. Etter en imponerende båttur med utsikt over Buddhaen, gikk turen videre til Emei-fjellet. Der ventet en utmerket lunsj med et utvalg av godt over 10 forskjellige retter. Den påfølgende oppstigningen med buss og taubane til tempelanlegget over skyene var rett og slett fantastisk. En uforglemmelig opplevelse og en klar anbefaling!

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.

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 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.

We had a wonderful experience at Hong Ding Yan! As we couldn’t eat beef n spicy food, the staff thoughtfully arranged pork and tomato soup as alternatives, which we really appreciated. The performances were enjoyable and added to the overall experience. The only slight disappointment was that there was no 川剧变脸 (Sichuan face-changing performance). Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and we truly appreciated their attentive service!

Stor, flott park som er ganske moderne. Kan gås til fots på omtrent 3-4 timer fra den ene enden til den andre. Mange forskjellige pandaer å se, og et utvalg av matalternativer. Bare skann passet ved porten og gå inn.

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.

Fantastisk opplevelse da jeg bestilte en VIP-billett veldig tidlig (noen måneder før turen min) og derfor satt rett på første rad, ikke engang to meter unna skuespillerne. Forestillingene var alle flotte, du bør snakke litt kinesisk/ha kunnskap om kinesisk kultur for å virkelig få med deg alt, men selv uten det kan jeg tenke meg at førstegangsbesøkende kan nyte showet like mye. Det viste seg at maskeskifteforestillingen ikke var min favoritt av alle vi så, da jeg oppdaget mange nye typer klassiske Sichuan-operaforestillinger jeg ikke visste om. Dette var en herlig måte å tilbringe en kveld i Chengdu på, jeg ville besøkt igjen på min neste tur.

Et must for fans av historien om De tre kongedømmer. Du må bytte inn billettene dine ved billettluken ved å bruke ID eller pass. Veldig folksomt under mai-ferien.
