Live Your Best Lives
Chengdu Travel Guide
Chengdu is an Internet celebrity city and a city full of literary and artistic style. Known as the "Land of Heaven", it has beautiful scenery, delicious
food, beautiful women and super cute "round", and it is a city that you don't want to leave when you come. In Chengdu, you must enjoy
a leisurely and slow life, walk slowly, look at the curtain, and walk slowly.
Preface
☆ The best travel season: March to June and September to November are the best, when the climate is warm and suitable for travel. July and August are relatively hot, but you can choose to go to the Qingcheng Mountain Line to escape the heat.
☆ Most of the attractions in Chengdu are concentrated within the second ring road. Qingyang District (Kuanzhai, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Wenshu Monastery, Renmin Gongyin, etc.) Wuhou District (Wuhou Temple, Jinli, etc.); The most prosperous Chunxi Road business circle is in Jinjiang District, and the cute "round" is in Chenghua District. The above attractions are all in the city or close to the city, and can be reached quickly by subway. And the farther scenic spots, (Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain. Xiling Snow Mountain, Huanglongxi Ancient Town, Luodai Ancient Town, Teddy Bear Museum, etc.), you need to take an EMU or tourist bus to arrive.
☆ For hotels, I recommend choosing Jinjiang Inn, the room environment, facilities and equipment are good, and the most important thing is that the transportation is more convenient!!

TIPS
A. This is the closest panda base to Chengdu. Taxi from the city is about 40-50 yuan.
B. Wuhou Temple, wide and narrow alleys, Du Fu thatched cottage and the airport have through trains. (I will introduce the through train later).
C. Take Metro Line 3 to Panda Avenue, and then you can take a taxi to 10 yuan/person, or you can take a bus.
There is a place to store small luggage in the scenic area, and there is a locker in the service center on the left after entering.
D. There are many ticket buyers now, so it is recommended to buy tickets online.
E. said it would open at 8 o'clock, but in fact you can enter at 7:30. However, it seems that the online ticket will take 8 o'clock to enter.
F. It is recommended to go early, preferably as soon as it opens. Because there is a feeding time from 9 to 11 o'clock, the rolling people will go to bed when they are full.
G. At nine o'clock, there will be red pandas eating collectively outside the delivery room, and they will return to the room in about an hour.
H. Rolling likes cold and is afraid of heat, and when the temperature rises to 26°C, he will return indoors to escape the heat. If the temperature is too high in summer and you don't see giant pandas outdoors, you can go indoors to see them.
I. The temperature is high in summer, and the smell in the garden is a bit strong.
J. If you go early in the morning, you can watch them have breakfast and fight, and when they go late, they are too lazy to move when they are full and sleep.
K. Bring some food, because the things inside are very expensive, it takes half a day to visit in the afternoon.
L. Because the restaurant in the area has a full bamboo banquet + two simple meal cafes, which is more expensive
M. There are more than 20 scenic spots in the base, scattered in all directions of the area, plus there are many forks in the road.
N. Rolling and the others are concentrated in Villa 1, Villa 2 (the villa is an adult panda), the moon delivery room, and the sun delivery room (the delivery room is a panda baby).
O. Don't throw garbage into the area, shout loudly, don't sweep the glass, and like to be quiet. Don't look at them cute, they will attack
P. Don't use flash, their eyes are very sensitive to light, flash will hurt them.
Q.Smoking is not allowed during the tour.
