Embark on a journey through the heart of Sichuan with this curated Chengdu-Dujiangyan itinerary—think way beyond pandas (though they're irresistible)! Explore vibrant city life, engineering wonders, and heritage gems all in one trip.
Start at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (No. 1375, North Panda Avenue, Chenghua District). Arrive early (before 9 AM) to catch the pandas at their most playful, and beat the crowds! Snap those iconic shots at the main panda enclosures and the leafy walkways—morning light = top photos! The base operates 7:30AM–5PM (Mar–Oct), 8AM–4:30PM (Nov–Feb), admission ¥55. Bring water, light snacks, and comfy shoes; skip the umbrella for a raincoat as Chengdu weather flips fast!
Next, venture to Dujiangyan Scenic Area (Park Road, Dujiangyan City)—the ancient irrigation system still working today. Must-dos: stroll the Suspension Bridge, marvel at the Fish Mouth Levee, and gaze at the breathtaking views from the Anlan Cable Bridge, especially at sunset! Insta-alert: riverside panoramas and the historic Qinyan Tower. Open 8AM–6PM (spring–autumn), 8AM–5PM (winter), admission ¥80. Wear sturdy shoes, as there’s uphill walking and uneven paths.
Back in Chengdu, wander Chunxi Road for unbeatable local eats and lively shopping—open 24/7—and snap neon-lit street scenes after dark. Finish with a stroll along Chengdu Ancient City Wall (青羊区北较场西路18号); catch golden hour for those charming, old-city vibes.
🌟 Insider tip: Don’t just do pandas—Chengdu’s energy and Dujiangyan’s history are just as wow-worthy!
