Chengdu Adventure
Our experience was enormously enhanced by our guide, Fifi. Her enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge about the Pandas made the whole experience complete! We definitely enjoyed Chengdu’s food and nightlife. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Wenshu Monastery with Fifi providing detailed information and history that I found mind inspiring. You know, I had been to many monasteries before…but this was fascinating. We also had fun at the markets! LOL more

Suggested Itinerary
Please check the general itinerary of the whole day. Your guide may adjust the itinerary based on the weather, transportation, and your requirements.
Your guide and driver will pick you up from hotel at 8am. Your guide will call you at the hotel one day in advance or leave a message to double check the collection time with you. The whole tour will last for about 10 hours.
9am–11:30am — Panda Breeding Center
Your first stop is the Panda Breeding and Research Center, home to nearly 50 giant pandas and red pandas. It's where the Kung Fu Panda 3 movie creators became inspired to portray an entire village of the adorable black and white creatures.
This beautifully-laid-out park is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from downtown Chengdu, with excellent walkways to various open enclosures of pandas.
It is best to go early in the morning to see the pandas feeding at around 9:30am, as they are most active at this time of day.
There is also a small theater in the center, where you can watch a 20-minute video to learn about giant panda research and breeding.
11:30am–2:30pm — Enjoy Sichuan Food
Enjoy authentic Sichuan cuisine in a local restaurant. Taste the dumplings and noodles loved by Po. Have a short rest during the private 1½-hour drive to Mount Qingcheng.
2:30pm–4:30pm — Mount Qingcheng
Mount Qingcheng is home to many Taoist temples and historical sites among winding paths. The verdant trees, thick fog, green moss on the roofs, and other natural elements are all incorporated into the scenery of Panda Village in Kung Fu Panda 3.
It is also listed as a World Heritage Site. Taking a cable car up and down, you will leave the busy world behind and climb above the mist to see the gorgeous mountain.
4:30pm–6pm — Return to Chengdu
After waving goodbye to Po's hometown, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel in Chengdu city.
Trip Notes
1. Baby Pandas
March to May is the "falling in love period" for pandas. If you visit the Panda Breeding and Research Center between July and December, you will have a greater chance of seeing tiny newborns in the Sunshine Nursery House at the Panda Breeding and Research Center.
2. Mount Qingcheng's Two Areas
Front Mountain: The view of this part is very close to sceneries in the movie Kung Fu Panda 3 and the Taoist temples of Front Mountains are big and famous. Some stairs are narrow and steep. You can take a boat across Yuecheng Lake and take the Buyun Cable Car to keep the tour relaxing. After getting off the cable car, 1-1½ hour walking on the steep stairs is required. Without cable car, at least 3 hours are requried.
Back Mountain: This part is quieter and the Taoist temples are smaller and scattered in the deep forest. It's a great place to appreciate natural beauty and breath fresh, but the stairs of this part are lack of maintainess. Two cable cars are available at hillside and on the mountain top, but taking cable car may miss the most beautiful parts of the mountain. Without cable car, it takes about 3.5 hours to climb up and down the mountain.
