Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa 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.

Ito ang pinakanakakatuwang bahagi ng aking biyahe sa China. Lubos akong natuwa na masdan ang mga kahanga-hangang hayop na ito, kumakain, naglalaro, naglalakad-lakad, nagpapagulong-gulong, nakaupo sa isang pool ng tubig at nagpapalamig, at pagkatapos ay ang mga Red Panda na naglalakad sa paligid at maging sa itaas ko habang tumatawid sila sa mga daanan! Sobra akong nasiyahan, kaya bumalik ako sa seksyon ng giant panda. Napakagandang pagkakaayos ng tahimik na lakaran na napapalibutan ng mga puno. Ang payo ko, pumunta doon sa oras ng pagbubukas. Masaya akong babalik upang bumisita muli.

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.

Ang ganda talaga ng tanawin sa Jiuzhaigou, may snow at may berdeng kagubatan, dalawang panahon sa isang araw, napakasarap sa pakiramdam! Ang tubig sa Jiuzhaigou ay napakalinaw, halos transparent, at ang mga boardwalk, tanawin ng niyebe, at mga lawa ay napakaganda. Bago ako nag-sign up, nakakita ako ng isang komento na nagsasabing hindi raw maganda, ngunit pagkatapos kong makipag-usap sa customer service, nagpasya pa rin akong mag-sign up at subukan, at sa tingin ko naman ay maganda, maayos ang pagkakaplano ng travel agency.

Leshan and E-Mei shan trip was very good, weather cooling, amazing scenary. 4 of us had local lunch which was very nice. Yang our tour guide lead and explain thru out our journey. It is worth to join them.

Madali kang makakapasok gamit ang iyong passport ID. Ang sinaunang sistemang patubig na ito na itinayo 2000 taon na ang nakalipas ay talagang kahanga-hanga at nakinabang sa maraming henerasyon hanggang ngayon (ginagamit pa rin ito). Lubos na inirerekomenda ang pagkuha ng gabay. Kung bumaba ka sa istasyon ng Dujiangyan, mayroong bus at tour guide na available sa maraming biyahe sa isang araw (pinili ko ang 1-way shuttle bus sa 12rmb + gabay sa 40 RMB).

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

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.

Napakagandang karanasan dahil maaga akong nag-book ng VIP ticket (ilang buwan bago ang aking biyahe) at dahil dito ay nakaupo ako sa mismong unang hilera, wala pang dalawang metro ang layo mula sa mga aktor. Lahat ng pagtatanghal ay mahusay, mas mabuting marunong kang magsalita ng Chinese/may kaalaman tungkol sa kulturang Chinese upang lubos na maintindihan ang lahat, ngunit kahit wala nito, naiisip ko na ang mga unang beses na manonood ay masisiyahan din sa palabas. Lumabas na ang pagtatanghal ng pagpapalit ng maskara ay hindi ang paborito ko sa lahat ng nakita namin, dahil marami akong natuklasang bagong uri ng klasikong pagtatanghal ng Sichuan opera na hindi ko alam. Ito ay isang kaaya-ayang paraan upang gugulin ang isang gabi sa Chengdu, bibisitahin ko ulit ito sa susunod kong biyahe.
