What to expect

  1. Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (Panda Base)
    3h · Admission ticket included
    In the morning, your guide will meet you at your hotel and accompany you to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The drive takes approximately 40 minutes, depending on traffic.

    The panda base is one of the best places to see giant pandas in a natural and peaceful environment. We’ll explore the panda enclosures and, if possible, observe these adorable animals during their morning activities. Since pandas are most active in the cooler hours of the day, the morning is a wonderful time to visit.

    You’ll have plenty of time to watch the pandas eating bamboo, playing, climbing, and relaxing. Your guide will also share some interesting stories about giant pandas, their diet, daily habits, and conservation efforts.
  2. Huanglongxi Ancient Town
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    After lunch, we’ll continue to Huanglongxi Ancient Town, located about 40–50 minutes from Chengdu.

    Huanglongxi is a charming historic town with a history of more than 1,700 years. It is known for its traditional old streets, wooden houses, stone bridges, riverside scenery, and peaceful local atmosphere. The town has also been used as a filming location for many Chinese movies and TV dramas.

    We’ll take a relaxed walk through the old streets, explore the small lanes and traditional buildings, and enjoy the riverside atmosphere. There will also be time to stop for a local snack or a cup of tea if you’d like.

    The afternoon will be kept flexible, so you can enjoy Huanglongxi at a comfortable pace rather than rushing from one place to another.
