This is a quite large and expansive wildlife park, so arriving early in the morning is highly recommended to avoid large crowds. Visiting early also increases your chances of observing pandas when they are most active, typically during the cooler hours of the day, which enhances the likelihood of seeing more of them in their natural behaviors. I initially hoped to see more pandas and thought they might be engaging in more playful activities, so I admit I was slightly disappointed by the number of active animals I encountered. However, witnessing these gentle creatures up close remains a truly remarkable experience that I cherish. ☺️ We visited during a public holiday, which resulted in a very crowded park. The high volume of visitors made it difficult to get a clear view of the pandas. For a better experience, I recommend visiting on weekdays when the crowds are smaller. Don’t miss the red pandas; I fell in love with them after seeing their adorable appearance and lively antics. They are genuinely charming creatures and a highlight of the visit.🫶 As for dining, I would advise bringing your own food rather than eating at the on-site restaurants, as the options are limited, the food quality is not very good, and prices are quite high. There are a few dining options available inside the park, but they are generally overpriced and not particularly flavorful. #holiday #familytravel #travel #panda #chengdu #redpanda #zoo #animals #nature #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #china

#AffordableAccommodation #ChengduAccommodation #Chengdu #ChinaTravel2026 ChanYinShiYaBieYuanHotel Review time! I was incredibly impressed! Staying at ChanYinShiYaBieYuanHotel was amazing! The hotel has a garden-like atmosphere and the service is excellent, like family. ✨Highlights of my impression: Design: Beautiful garden style, lush and relaxing Japanese design. Service: The staff are incredibly lovely and provide service like family. They even carried my luggage to my room. Rooms: Modern! Voice-controlled system. The bed is incredibly comfortable. You can control the screen, curtains, lights, and more in Chinese or English. Bathroom: Separate wet and dry areas, bathtub, and toilet (but no bidet). Excellent! - Additional services: Taxi service and breakfast available. Location: ChanYinShiYaBieYuanHotel (Chen Yinxiya Yuan) Facebook Recommendation: Staff do not speak Thai/English. Using a translation app is no problem. Price: 1,000 - 2,500 THB/night depending on the time of year and promotions. Personally, the staff are very lovely. Even though they can't communicate in English, you can add them on WeChat and chat with them. And most importantly, the price is affordable. The bed is comfortable, it's close to tourist attractions, and the DiDi phone station is conveniently located on the main road. If you're visiting Chengdu, this is one of the hotels I highly recommend. Don't miss it!

This is a completely wooden building with a reading nook, cafe, and workspace all in one, complete with large windows and beautiful light, perfect for a long, relaxed stay. However, if you arrive late, it can get quite crowded and noisy. It's best to arrive early, around 10:00 AM, or after 7:00 PM, and stay for 2-3 hours. Anyone who prefers a quiet yet lively atmosphere will love this place. 📍新山书屋 Xinshan Book House (Dongjiao Memory), Chengdu ⏰ Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM #crazytraveler #crazytravel #travelplan #travelchina #chengdu #chinatravel #trip #tripmoments #chengdutravel

Gulong Village, a hidden gem at the foot of the snow-capped mountains in Western Sichuan, offers a completely free experience with no entrance fees—an ideal secret spot for family trips into nature. Look up to see the majestic Yala Snow Mountain, and beneath your feet, rolling green hills and babbling streams. Sit down with your kids for a picnic and camping; the air carries the fresh scent of alpine grass and trees, immersing you in the relaxed and romantic atmosphere of Western Sichuan. 🚗 Family-friendly 3-day mini loop D1 Chengdu - Maobiniang to view Siguniang Mountain - light hike in Shuangqiao Valley - overnight in Danba/Xiaojin D2 From accommodation - Yala Snow Mountain viewing platform - geological exploration at Moshigong Park - Tagong Grassland - play in the stream and watch the sunset in Gulong Village - overnight in Xinduqiao D3 Xinduqiao - popular photo spots on Airport Road 434 - Honghaizi - Mugecuo - return to Chengdu 📸 Must-visit family photo spots Snowy mountain stream picnic: Free access to meadows and streams for healing moments. Bring a picnic mat, play in the water, and admire the snow mountains—every snapshot looks like a Studio Ghibli masterpiece. Yala Snow Mountain panoramic photo spot: 180° unobstructed views of snow mountains, meadows, and streams in one frame. Let your kids immerse in the grandeur of the mountains and easily capture beautiful family photos. Balangshengdu Viewing Platform: Fewer crowds, stunning views, and perfect for families to witness the breathtaking golden sunlight on the mountains—better suited for family trips than Yuzixi, with an atmosphere that’s simply unforgettable. Muya Monastery: Red walls and golden roofs set against snowy peaks, peaceful and uncrowded. Take family photos in Tibetan costumes and deeply experience Tibetan culture. ⚠️ Family travel tips for March to May Choose SUVs or off-road vehicles for driving with kids; avoid sedans or electric cars due to complex mountain road conditions—safety first. The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is huge; be sure to bring thick windproof and warm jackets for the kids to prevent colds. Prepare oxygen bottles in advance, walk slowly without strenuous exercise, and let kids gradually adapt to the high-altitude environment. During the day, camp and picnic on the meadows with kids, but avoid staying in self-pitched tents at night to prevent colds and altitude sickness due to low temperatures. Prioritize traveling on sunny days; rainy mountain roads are poor and visibility is low, which greatly reduces the scenery and experience. Accommodations 🏨Sengelangzan Guesthouse A Tibetan-style boutique guesthouse in the heart of Xinduqiao, facing the snow mountains, equipped with oxygen machines and floor heating—very reassuring for families on the plateau. 🏨Tagong Gulong Village Xiyun Guesthouse A boutique guesthouse inside Gulong Village, built by the stream with windows opening to Yala Snow Mountain. Step outside to play in the stream and camp—super convenient. 🏨Yunding Luxury Camping A high-end campsite at Balangshengdu Viewing Platform with standalone scenic tents. Lie in bed and watch the snow mountains and starry sky—perfect for family experiences. 🏨Kongshan Guesthouse A trendy guesthouse in the Tibetan village on Danba Middle Road, combining Tibetan style with modern design, featuring a private courtyard and a moderate drive from Gulong Village. ---

Chengdu: 5 Must-See Spots 🐼 Chengdu is a city where street food steams on every corner, pandas munch on bamboo just steps away from the city center, and old neighborhoods coexist with modern bridges. Here are five places that truly capture the essence of the city. 1. Chunxi Road — The Pulse of Modern Chengdu 🛍️ The city's main shopping street is also the best spot to observe local life. It has everything: luxury boutiques next to street food stalls, young people in Hanfu against the backdrop of giant screens, and the spicy aroma of hotpot wafting from every alley. How to get there: Take the metro to Chunxi Road Station (Lines 2 or 3) — you'll step right onto the street. My Route The best time to visit is around 5–6 PM when the advertisements light up and the street truly comes alive. Start at the central intersection near the golden statue and head towards Taikoo Li — an open shopping district with bamboo facades and stunning architecture. Tips ∙ 🕐 Evening is the best time: neon lights, crowds, and atmosphere ∙ 📸 Capture the intersection from the pedestrian bridge above — the flow of people and lights make for striking photos ∙ 🌶️ Don't miss trying roadside dandan noodles or cold noodles right here 2. Paqiang Panda & Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda — Where Pandas Live 🐼 One of the rare tourist spots that fully lives up to expectations. The pandas here are real, the space is vast, and if you visit at the right time, you'll see them active rather than sleeping. How to get there: Take Bus No. 198 from Zhaojiesi Metro Station (Line 3) — about 20 minutes. A taxi from the city center costs ~30–40 yuan. Entrance Fee: ~90 yuan. Worth every penny. My Route Arrive strictly at opening time — 8:00 AM. Pandas are fed in the morning and are genuinely active. By 10:00 AM, most are already asleep in poses that are hard to distinguish from stuffed toys. Start with the adult panda enclosures, then head to the baby panda section — there's a separate queue, but it's worth it. Tips ∙ 🕐 Opening at 8:00 AM is the only right time ∙ 🌿 Grab a map at the entrance: the area is large and easy to get lost in ∙ 📵 Don't use flash photography — it's prohibited and unnecessary ∙ ☀️ Weekdays are preferable: queues at the baby panda enclosures are long on weekends 3. Anshun Bridge (Viuyan Bridge) — A Bridge That Became a Stage 🌉 An old covered bridge over the Jinjiang River that doubles as a restaurant, observation deck, and evening promenade spot. The concept sounds unusual but works perfectly. How to get there: A 10-minute walk along the river from Chunxi Road. My Route During the day, it's a great spot for photos with views of the river and promenade. In the evening, it's a completely different story: the bridge lights up, musicians perform, and locals come here just to relax. Step inside and go to the upper level — the view of both banks of the Jinjiang River is excellent. Tips ∙ 🕐 Evening after 7:00 PM — the bridge is illuminated and at its most atmospheric ∙ 📸 Take photos from the promenade below: the reflection of lights in the river is one of the city's best night views ∙ 🍵 You can have dinner right on the bridge — the views make up for the tourist prices 4. Jinli Old Street — A Historic Quarter with Character 🏮 A reconstructed historic street

📍 Kuanzhai Alley (宽窄巷子) This place consists of three alleys in one location, each offering a completely different vibe. 📌 Kuan Alley: This is the authentic traditional Chengdu. Grey brick houses, old wooden doors, elderly locals chatting on bamboo chairs, and the aroma of tea wafting from the homes. 📌 Zhai Alley: Perfect for café and art lovers. It’s filled with beautiful shops blending old and new styles seamlessly. Enjoy a cup of coffee by a brick wall adorned with creeping vines—simple yet incredibly charming. 📌 Jing Alley: Quieter and less crowded, but with more "stories" to tell. A 400-meter-long wall narrates Chengdu’s history through bricks and antiques. Highly recommended for close-up shots of intricate details—it’s stunning. Must-capture spots: • Old wooden doors + soft evening light at 4 PM • Orange-red vine-covered walls • Tea shops / Local residents (this is the true soul of the place) Don’t just stick to the big shops—explore the smaller alleys too. • Tangyou Guozi • "Three Gun" snacks (makes a popping sound) • Spicy and numbing Liangfen Free entry. The best time to visit is in the evening. 🚇 Take Metro Line 4 and get off at Kuanzhai Alley (Exit B).

Chengdu is the city of pandas 🐼. Chengdu Pandas live here in a breeding center, and the locals have made it a symbol! They're everywhere! In the form of toys, ice cream, printed clothing, and so on. It's truly a symbol of this city. Chengdu has several centers that help introduce pandas, adapt them to life in the wild, and most importantly, save them. Pandas were endangered. That's why they started creating centers where the animals can live in comfortable conditions and breed. We went to the panda breeding center 📌 Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding 🐼 Because it's the closest. 🔴 Red pandas also live here. They're so beautiful! So active, unlike black and white pandas. Black and white pandas are actually sloths 😄 They don't like to move much. 🎟️ You need to buy a ticket in advance. We couldn't buy it through WeChat. We bought it through Tripcom. The price is the same as on the official website. We bought it with our passport. At the entrance, they only asked for our passport. ⏳The pandas are active in the morning. From 10:30 to 11:00 AM, they're already looking for a place to lie down and sleep. It's funny how many of them lie in star-shaped beds 😄 Pandas are lazy and slow, so they don't like heat and sun. Cool and cloudy days are ideal for them. And on such days, they can be active longer. ⏰So, arrive when the center opens. It opens at 8:00 AM. But by 7:30 AM, there's a long line to get in. It moves quickly as soon as the center opens. 🚗 We arrived by taxi from the hotel. 30 minutes. 🚇 But you can also get here by public transportation; the city has a metro. 🫒 If you arrive in the morning, you can see pandas not only eating bamboo placed before them, but also seeing their food brought to them on small plates, and how they fuss about. It's quite a fun process! 🐒 Red monkeys also live here. Don't miss them! 👟 The park has comfortable paths. You can choose any footwear, but sneakers, trainers, and something without high heels are best. 🚶The grounds are large but compact. It's easy to get around. 🌸Lots of flowers have been planted here. It's March now, and magnolias, cherries, apple trees, and much more are in bloom! 🐼 The park is full of souvenir shops! You can buy anything: stuffed animals, headbands, scarves, backpacks, keychains, etc. All in the shape of a panda. But the prices are, of course, high for these items. 🍲 There are plenty of cafes on the grounds. You can take a smoke break and relax. 🚻 There are also plenty of restrooms. Free. Clean. 🪫Back up with a power bank and plenty of memory on your phone! You'll be taking a lot of photos! The pandas are incredibly cute! Enjoy your walks in the park!

Taode Casserole (陶德砂锅) Chengdu is a popular Sichuan restaurant highly recommended by Thai visitors. The restaurant is easily recognizable by its red hotpot symbol. With multiple branches, you can visit the one closest to you. However, be prepared to wait in line. Must-try dishes include the famous "Shrimp with Glass Noodles," which is incredibly delicious with bouncy shrimp. It's cooked right at your table, so you'll need to wait for the staff to prepare it. Another dish you shouldn't miss is the "Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens," which is absolutely tasty. Personally, I love this dish, and this restaurant does it well without too many Sichuan peppercorns. The portions are generous, the taste is great, and the prices are reasonable. We noticed the restaurant's chopsticks are quite unique. They are designed to save wood, with only half made of wood and the other half made of plastic. This was the first time we encountered such a design, and we're curious if other restaurants in China use them too. Another charming aspect of the restaurant is the complimentary peanuts served upon entry. While waiting outside, there are small snacks available for you to grab, which is a delightful touch. Location: 陶德砂锅 (Taode) Multiple branches, not far from IFS, within walking distance. Opening hours: 10:00 AM - 11:00 PM

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck ✈️ Review of Traveling to Chengdu City from the Airport by Airport Bus If you're arriving in Chengdu and want to get around the city on a budget and conveniently, I recommend using the Airport Bus. The fare is very cheap, less than 100 baht, but surprisingly comfortable! 🚌✨ 📍 Airport Used: Chengdu Tianfu International Airport After landing, follow the signs for the Airport Bus/Shuttle Bus. The signs are quite clear, and there are many routes into the city. ⸻ 🚌 How to Take the Airport Bus • After exiting the arrivals hall, there will be a ticket counter. • Choose your desired route into the city. • The price is approximately 15–20 yuan (about 70–90 baht). This is very cheap compared to taxis or Didi. ⸻ ⏱️ Travel Time It takes approximately 40–60 minutes, depending on where you get off in the city. The buses are large.

While in Chengdu, a local friend brought us to Tangyue Hot Spring & Sauna Life Hall (汤悦温泉汗蒸生活馆), and it turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience. It’s more than just a spa — the place feels like a large relaxation complex where you can spend hours unwinding. The facilities are modern, spacious, and very clean, with different areas for hot baths, sauna rooms, and relaxation lounges. One of the highlights for me was experiencing 搓澡, a traditional body scrubbing service that was quite an eye-opening experience if you’ve never tried it before. What makes this place interesting is that it’s designed almost like a leisure center. There are large resting areas with comfortable seating everywhere, and we even discovered a small cinema room where guests can relax and watch movies. We also had dinner inside the complex, and surprisingly, the food was really good, making the visit feel like a complete evening outing rather than just a spa session. If you’re in Chengdu and want a different kind of local relaxation experience, this is definitely a spot worth saving. #chinatrip
