Coisas para fazer em Chengdu

I brought my parents here. Taking the high-speed train in and out saves a lot of energy for seniors! In the past, it took a whole day just to get to Jiuzhaigou, but now you can depart from Chengdu in the morning and arrive at the scenic area by noon. At Huanglong Scenic Area, we took the cable car up the mountain (80 yuan/person for the ascent) and then slowly walked down to see the Five-Color Ponds. Four hours was enough 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. With an average of seven to eight thousand steps per day, my parents weren't tired. Jiuzhaigou in July was lush green everywhere, the waterfalls were spectacularly voluminous, and the air was filled with the freshness of plants and streams. Staying two nights at a hotel at the gully entrance meant no need to move luggage, which was very convenient. My parents enjoyed the Tibetan dinner and even watched a Guozhuang dance. The tour guide doesn't enter the scenic area but explains the注意事项 (things to note) for visiting in advance, which was still very reassuring.

Magnificent view on the peak. The tour guide is kind and helpful. Love the details she gave about the natives and repeated reminders on possible high altitude sickness. The driver is careful while driving throughout the journey.

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is truly magnificent, with both snow and lush green forests, experiencing two seasons in one day – it's an amazing feeling! The water in Jiuzhaigou is crystal clear, almost transparent, and the boardwalks, snowscapes, and 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 sign up and try it myself. It turned out to be quite good, and the travel agency arranged everything very clearly.

The trip to Leshan and Emei Mountain was very good, the weather was cool, and the scenery was amazing. The four of us had a very nice local lunch. Our tour guide, Yang, led and explained throughout our journey. It is worth joining them.

great tour and very accommodating guide!!! stunning views and the long bus ride was worth it.

I was worried that I wouldn’t see many pandas moving around since I got to the park after 10 am (everyone recommends going 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 were 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.

You can easily enter with your passport ID. This ancient waterworks, built 2000 years ago, is truly amazing and has benefited many generations until this day (it's still in use). I highly recommend getting a guide. If you alight at Dujiangyan Station, there are buses and tour guides available for multiple trips a day (I chose a one-way shuttle bus for 12 RMB + a guide for 40 RMB).
