During our trip to Chengdu, the city of pandas, we had the chance to visit the famous and grand library at Dujiangyan Zhongshuge. It was absolutely stunning! The interior is beautifully designed. This library is located on the 2nd floor of Sunac Mall in Dujiangyan city. The best part? Entry is free! Truly amazing. Opening hours: Open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We recommend visiting on weekdays when it's less crowded, making it perfect for taking beautiful photos. If you love grandeur and magnificence, this place is definitely for you. A solid 5-star rating from us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There are wild zones, villa zones, and living zones where you can see them up close eating bamboo, climbing trees, and sleeping~ The altitude is relatively high, the air is especially fresh, and there are lots of little red pandas. I still remember the delicious roasted potatoes we bought when we stopped the car... The cubs are just too adorable. The staff bring out bowls of milk for the kids, and they drink it eagerly. Some little babies are sound asleep, lying in all sorts of funny positions—so cute~ 2⃣️ Bifengxia Scenic Area: Besides giant pandas, you can also see red pandas, golden monkeys, black bears, and other animals. There are also waterfalls and caves to explore~ 3⃣️ Science Museum: Learn about giant pandas and see the growth process of panda cubs—super heartwarming! 📷 Photo Tips: • Wear light-colored clothes for better photos!

Around 10 AM the sunlight is just right, not too harsh~ • Don’t shout loudly or feed food to the giant pandas~ Compared to Chengdu’s Giant Panda Base, Bifengxia’s panda park is much more enjoyable to visit—more pandas and more satisfying~ The little panda cubs are just too cute!

I stayed in Dujiangyan for one night and searched for hotels on an app. After checking out several options, I finally decided on this one. I stayed at 📍 Holiday Inn Dujiangyan Ancient Town, and it was great 🏨💚. The room was clean, the bed was soft and comfortable 🛏️, and I had a good night's sleep. Although the staff couldn't speak English, I used a translation app to communicate, and it worked out fine 😊✨. The location is excellent. You can walk to Panda Selfie 🐼 or Nanqiao Bridge 🚶♀️ in just a short time without needing to arrange transportation. Plus, it's not far from the high-speed train station 🚄, making trips to and from Chengdu very convenient. The hotel is just a short walk from the main road, where you can easily hail a taxi to get around. Nearby, there's a minimart selling snacks and drinks. If you get hungry late at night or need to buy something, it's very convenient (though I'm not sure about their opening hours or if they're open 24 hours) 🍜🛒. If you're visiting Dujiangyan and looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel.

When visiting Chengdu, aside from indulging in delicious food, you must check out the world cultural heritage site "Dujiangyan"! This is the world's only remaining and still functioning dam-free water diversion project. After seeing it, you'll truly marvel at the ingenuity of ancient people! 🧠✨ Must-visit spots: Baopingkou: Witness the majestic flow of river water rushing in! 🌊 Anlan Suspension Bridge: Walking on it feels precarious, not for the faint-hearted, but the photos you can take are stunning! 📸 Nan Bridge Night View: This is the highlight! At night, the lights reflect on the river, turning it into a mesmerizing "blue tears" scene. 💎✨

This one-day trip is packed with fun activities. Start your morning at the Panda Conservation Base, where you’re lucky enough to see the pandas enjoying their meals and being active. Capture the moment with adorable panda selfies, including shots with the big, cuddly pandas that everyone loves to photograph. Next, head to the Ancient Town with its charming atmosphere. Stroll through the quaint alleys, take photos with the brick walls, and enjoy the nostalgic vibe. There are tea shops and souvenir stores worth exploring. Recharge with a cup of oolong tea before moving on. End the day at the waterfall, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The walk isn’t too challenging, and visiting in the evening provides perfect lighting for capturing beautiful waterfall photos. Tips: The three locations are quite far apart, so renting a car or hiring a private vehicle for the day is highly recommended. Start early to enjoy all the attractions without feeling rushed. For those visiting Dujiangyan, this one-day itinerary covers everything and makes the most of your time. Truly a fulfilling day!

If you're visiting Chengdu, missing this place means you haven't truly experienced it! 🐼 This is Panda Valley, a conservation center nestled in nature in Dujiangyan city, just a 30-40 minute train ride from Chengdu. The atmosphere here is amazing, perfect for a leisurely stroll and feeling close to nature. 🌿 Highlights you shouldn't miss: · Get up close with giant pandas: In the morning, they are active, enjoying their bamboo meals. If you visit later in the day, you can see them lounging and rolling around. · The ultimate spot for red panda lovers: These adorable creatures roam freely in their natural habitat. You might even encounter one crossing your path as you walk along the trails. · Cute panda-themed café and ice cream: Take a break, recharge, and snap some cool photos. 🚗 How to get there: · High-speed train: From Xipu Station in Chengdu, it takes about 30-40 minutes to Dujiangyan Station. From there, take a bus or taxi for a short ride. · DiDi (private car): Convenient and affordable, costing around 250 yuan from Chengdu. Note that the car will drop you off across the street, so you'll need to cross the road. · Visit in the morning (before 9 AM) as the pandas are most active during their breakfast time. After that, they tend to nap for long hours. · Wear sneakers, as the walking paths are uphill and the total walking time is about 2-3 hours. · In summer (July), it tends to be rainy and humid. If possible, choose to visit during winter or cooler weather for a more pleasant experience. In summary, "a paradise for panda lovers," this place truly prioritizes nature and the well-being of the pandas. The peaceful atmosphere and lack of crowds make it ideal for visitors of all ages, especially families.

💧 The 'Blue Tears' River near Chengdu offers a fantasy-like photo opportunity. 📍 Dujiangyan Blue Tears – 都江堰蓝眼泪Dujiangyan, Chengdu, Sichuan If you're visiting Chengdu and looking for something unique and stunning, you must check out the 'Blue Tears – 蓝眼泪.' This phenomenon makes the river appear as glowing blue tears at night in photos, even though to the naked eye, the water looks emerald green. The photos resemble scenes from a fantasy movie. 📍 The main photo spot is under Nanqiao Bridge 南桥, but the most popular location is: 📍 Tianyuan Corridor Bridge 天府源廊桥 Walk about 400 meters from Nanqiao Bridge to reach this spot. The view is most beautiful here, where the river splits into two streams. The strong water flow creates stunning reflections. 🌅 Best time to visit: Around sunset, between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM. During this time, the lights start to illuminate, and the water's color is at its most vibrant. 🚄 How to get there from Chengdu: Take a high-speed train from Chengdu East Station to Lidui Park Station, which takes about 30 minutes. From there, walk into the ancient town to reach Nanqiao Bridge. ✨ One-day itinerary: Lidui Park → Dujiangyan Irrigation System → Nanqiao Bridge → Tianyuan Corridor Bridge → Blue Tears night view All locations are close to each other and can be easily explored on foot. 📸 Photography tips: Arrive before sunset, wait for the lights to turn on, and use your phone's automatic mode. The resulting photos will capture the river's glowing blue color, resembling tears. If you're in Chengdu and want to witness a magical natural phenomenon, this is one of the Unseen spots that is currently trending among Chinese travelers.

📍The giant Selfie Panda sculpture is located in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, at Yangtianwo Square (仰天窝广场). Created by Dutch designer Florentijn Hofman in 2021, the panda lies in a relaxed pose holding a selfie stick. 📸 To visit, take a high-speed train from Xipu Station (犀浦) in Chengdu to Liduigongyuan Station (离堆公园) in Dujiangyan City. The train🚄 goes directly to Yangtianwo Square (仰天窝广场). Once you exit the station, you'll immediately see the Giant Selfie Panda🐼🤳🏻 and other attractions. Exact address of the Selfie Panda: 都江堰市灌口街道都江堰大道2号都江堰水文化广场（东南角). Other attractions include the riverside promenade (especially beautiful in the evening); the entrance to the Irrigation System, the ancient city of Guanxian (Xuanhua Gate⛩️) 灌县古城 (宣化门), Shenggeng Tower; Li Bing Square with a large sculpture🗿 (李冰广场, 李冰广场世界上最大的熊猫); the Christian church "Glory"⛪ (都江堰市基督教荣光堂); Ming Dynasty Wall⛩️ (明城墙); the Muslim mosque🕌 (都江堰景区-清真寺); Phoenix Viewing Tower🗼 (观凤楼); ancient bridges🌉 (南桥都江堰版蓝眼泪, 蓝岸小院茶酒肆), and generally everything in this area is ancient; Dujiangyan Museum (都江堰博物馆), etc. p.s. Near the Muslim mosque (都江堰景区-清真寺), there is also Sichuan Opera🎭. Xipu (犀浦, Chengdu) - Liduigongyuan (离堆公园). If heading to Mount Qingcheng, take: Xipu (犀浦, Chengdu) - Qingchengshan (青城山). From Qingchengshan Station (青城山), cross the road to find the ancient arch and the start of the route. From Qingchengshan Station (青城山) or Dujiangyan Station (都江堰), you can take a taxi to the Irrigation System with the riverside promenade and Selfie Panda 🐼🤳🏻, which takes about 20-30 minutes. Renting a bike would take 30-60 minutes, but why spend extra? It's better to take the train to Liduigongyuan Station (离堆公园). The fare for all stations in Dujiangyan from Chengdu is 10 yuan. The high-speed train ride takes 15-30 minutes depending on the station.

An ancient village nestled in the mountains, so quiet it feels like time has stopped. Old roofs are stacked in layers amidst the lush green forest. Walking in feels like being in a truly living ancient Chinese village. It's another hidden gem with very few people. Perfect for those seeking escape from the city and who appreciate the scent of old wood. Slow travelers will love this place! 📍 Location: Tai’an Ancient Town – 泰安古镇 (Shandong Province) 🧭 How to get there: This is a small, local town, so you'll need to go through a larger city first.

When traveling with kids in Chengdu, listen to me: visiting Chengdu for a family trip from March to May is way more comfortable than during the winter break! There are far fewer people, and hotels and flights are cheaper. Don’t believe those online tips about just going on a whim and rushing through three or four attractions in one day—no rhythm, no lunch break, no snacks? That’s just forcing it with kids. In spring, Chengdu has big temperature differences between morning and evening, so you can’t forget a jacket, water bottle, or snacks. Traveling with kids isn’t about packing light, it’s about planning smart. . Let’s talk about seeing pandas first. Many parents insist on entering the park at the latest time, but then the pandas are all curled up sleeping, and you can only see their backs from afar. Actually, it’s best to enter the park before 9 a.m. in spring when the temperature is comfortable and the pandas are active—you can see them eating bamboo, climbing trees, and rolling around. Go early, then return to the city for a lunch break, and plan easy activities for the afternoon. . ⚠️ A quick reminder: many popular attractions in Chengdu require advance reservations. Places like the Panda Base and Sanxingdui are basically impossible to book last minute. Especially on weekends and short holidays, make sure to plan ahead. If you don’t want to figure out routes and transportation yourself, joining a reliable family-friendly small group tour is worth it—one family per group, with a flexible pace. . Here’s a relaxed itinerary for parents visiting Chengdu with kids for the first time: 𝐷𝑎𝑦1️⃣ | Slow pace at Chunxi Road Arrive in Chengdu in the afternoon, casually stroll around Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, and try some mild snacks. . 𝐷𝑎𝑦2️⃣ | Panda Base + Sichuan Opera Experience ✅ Morning visit to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Enter early and focus on the juvenile panda activity area. The spring temperature is moderate, pandas are lively, and kids will feel engaged. ✅ Afternoon Sichuan Opera face-changing experience or costume dress-up, letting kids get close to traditional culture. . 𝐷𝑎𝑦3️⃣ | Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Wisdom + Qingcheng Mountain Nature Class ✅ Explore the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, listen to stories while seeing the real water conservancy project. ✅ If time allows, take a walk on the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain. The hills are lush green in spring, the air is especially fresh, and it’s much better than the scorching summer heat. . 𝐷𝑎𝑦4️⃣ | Leshan Giant Buddha On-site Visit ✅ Spend a day visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha, take a boat to view the entire Buddha statue from afar, and let kids see the 70+ meter tall stone Buddha carving. ✅ Try some local Leshan snacks along the way. . 𝐷𝑎𝑦5️⃣ | Sanxingdui Ancient Shu Civilization + People's Park Wrap-up ✅ Visit the Sanxingdui Museum to see bronze and gold masks in person—much more than in textbooks. It’s recommended to book a guided tour in advance so kids can better understand. ✅ Return to the city for a city walk. Have a cup of gaiwan tea at People’s Park or stroll around Wuhou Shrine. . Visiting Chengdu with kids from March to May means comfortable weather—not too cold or hot—with flowers blooming all over the city, and attractions haven’t yet hit the summer peak. As long as you don’t pack your schedule too tightly, limit yourself to one or two main spots per day, and leave plenty of time for lunch breaks, Chengdu will really make you feel that traveling with kids can be both easy and high-quality.

When talking about Chengdu, the first thing that comes to mind is "pandas." Chengdu has several panda research centers, but we chose to visit Dujiangyan. The main reasons were the convenient timing and fewer crowds compared to the research centers in the city. This place isn’t very large, making it easy to walk around and observe pandas up close. The pathways are natural and relaxing to stroll through. However, the red panda zone might be a bit tiring as it requires a slight uphill walk. But the adorable pandas are close enough to make it worth the effort. • Opening hours: 08:00-17:30 (It’s recommended to enter before 16:30.) • Entrance fee: 55 yuan/person, tickets can be purchased at the entrance. • Recommended visiting time: Morning (08:00-10:00) Pandas are awake and eating during this time. Transportation: - Take the high-speed train from Chengdu (Xipu Station) to Dujiangyan Station, then continue by taxi/Didi (around 10-15 yuan) or bus line 14. - If staying in Dujiangyan, you can call a Didi directly, but the car will stop at the designated parking area, requiring a short walk to the entrance.

PANDA SELFIE: Dujiangyan If you're visiting Dujiangyan, you absolutely can't miss taking a photo with the Panda Selfie! Our red panda family stopped by to snap some pictures before heading out from the hotel. There are photographers available to assist, but since we had our luggage with us, we decided to set up our own camera and take the photos ourselves. This area is also filled with souvenir shops. If you're looking for gifts, we recommend checking out the smaller shops around the vicinity. Come for the photos and stay for the shopping—it's a fun experience! • Travel Information • From Chengdu -> Dujiangyan Take the high-speed train from Xipu Station (犀浦) to Liduigongyuan Station (离堆公园). The journey takes only 20-30 minutes, and it's just a 100-meter walk from Exit D.

🏖️Environment/Facilities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍Address: Dujiangyan Ancient Town 🗓️Travel Planning: Take the Metro to Xipu Station and transfer to the high-speed train This is one of Chengdu's must-visit landmarks where everyone comes to take selfies with the pandas. We arrived around 3 PM, and the crowd was still manageable. On that day, the ancient town's Fire Bridge was closed, which might have contributed to fewer tourists. However, it's definitely worth visiting. Most importantly, if you're planning to return by train, make sure to book your tickets in advance through Trip.com as they sell out quickly. Don't miss out!

A breathtakingly beautiful ancient Chinese-style garden! Who would have thought!! Qingcheng Mountain hides an entire garden in traditional Chinese style! The sound of water flowing under small stone bridges instantly disconnects you from the chaotic outside world. As soon as you step in, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time to the past~ Imagine dining by a rowboat, soaking in the evening sunlight, and listening to the gentle flow of water. My close friend said the atmosphere feels like stepping into the movie 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' This place is perfect for family gatherings, as they offer a variety of private rooms to choose from.

Panda Valley features a charming cafe for visitors, accessible both upon entry and exit. We decided to stop by on our way out after a tiring walk admiring the pandas, to recharge before continuing our journey. The cafe we visited is called 'MEI LAN CAFE,' which is adorably panda-themed. The decor perfectly complements the natural surroundings, offering plenty of seating without feeling crowded. The menu mainly consists of fast food, desserts, and beverages, all with a delightful panda twist. We tried the 🐼🍹Panda Bayberry Rice Ball, served in a bucket with panda-shaped marshmallows. The bayberry jelly inside was refreshing, and the chewy rice pearls added a unique texture. We also ordered some dumpling soup, which was delicious and perfect for the chilly weather 🥟. ✨This spot is ideal for relaxing, taking photos, and enjoying a quick bite or drink before heading to your next destination.

Dujiangyan Dam is an ancient water conservancy project over 2,000 years old and is considered a 5A-level tourist attraction. We strolled along the Langqiao and Nanqiao bridges, which are located near the ancient town of Guanxian. These spots are popular among tourists for taking photos with the bridges and the stunning blue water. There are also shops renting traditional Chinese costumes for visitors to dress up and take photos, just like in historical dramas. If you have time, you should try this activity. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time, so we only managed to explore the ancient town, enjoy a meal, and wait to see the blue water and lights at the bridge. The bridge tends to get crowded, so we recommend heading to the side of the bridge for a better view and photo opportunities of the blue water. ✨ When we visited, the lights at the dam started to turn on around 6 PM. Getting there: From Chengdu, take the high-speed train from Xipu Station to Liduigongyuan Station (the station for Dujiangyan City). Exit the station and walk along the river until you reach the dam. For the return trip, if you’re traveling with a group, we recommend using Didi to get back to Chengdu—it’s very convenient.

Visiting Chengdu wouldn't be complete without stopping by to see the adorable pandas. We visited 🐼Panda Valley in Dujianyan, and it was a delightful experience. We conveniently purchased tickets through Trip.com. The valley is home to both giant pandas and red pandas, surrounded by a serene and natural atmosphere. We went during the afternoon session and were lucky to see many pandas out and about. They were incredibly cute, and we got to observe them up close. The pathways are well-maintained and easy to navigate, with clear signage indicating directions, panda names, and even their birthdates. 📸 Panda Valley also offers numerous photo spots, giving you the feeling of walking through a lush forest. 🚕 For transportation, we took a taxi from downtown Dujianyan, which was quick and convenient. 🚌 Alternatively, there is a shuttle bus service from Dujianyan city to Panda Valley.

Have you ever envied someone who gets paid to eat and sleep for 14 hours a day? In Chengdu, I discovered an entire "corporation" of such specialists. Black-and-white, fluffy, and incredibly photogenic. Today, my report comes from the office of these adorable top managers of laziness: the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Pandas. This is not a zoo with cages. The base spans 100 hectares on Futoushan Hill. You stroll along shady paths surrounded by artificial ponds, streams, and, of course, endless bamboo groves. The air is fresh, birds are singing. And yes, this is Chengdu, a bustling metropolis! The contrast is striking. Look for these spots: Sun, Moon, and Star Pavilions: Home to pandas of different ages. Moon Nursery: The world's largest nursery for baby pandas. If you're lucky, you might see newborns, pink and hamster-like. Swan Lake: A tranquil corner with birds. Bronze statue of a mother panda with her cub — the base's symbol. From the hills, you can sometimes catch a view of sprawling Chengdu in the distance. And you realize: these guys live in the city's greenest "luxury complex." The irony is that China's most recognizable symbol, the one people cross oceans to see, is by nature a solitary recluse who just wants to be left alone to munch on bamboo. Yet we flock to its "bungalow." That's the price of charm. TRAVEL TIP: Don't miss this crucial advice: Arrive at OPENING TIME, around 7:30-8:00 AM! Pandas aren't early risers, but during the cool morning hours, they are fed and relatively active. After 10:30 AM, you're likely to see nothing but furry lumps snoozing in the shade. I'm serious, the difference is like attending a live concert versus scrolling through Instagram photos. Where: North Chengdu, Panda Avenue, 1375. How: Take Metro Line 3 to Panda Avenue Station, then a taxi for 10 yuan or a free shuttle to the entrance. A taxi from downtown is also a great option. Tickets: 55 yuan (discounts for students). Most importantly, buy your ticket online in advance via their WeChat or website! The ticket office might be sold out. When: Weekdays are best. Open from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Set aside 3-4 hours for a leisurely visit. The area is huge. What to wear: Comfortable shoes. It's a marathon through hilly paths. Bring water. The Chengdu Panda Base is a place where you feel like a guest in the home of true stars. You observe their calm, almost philosophical lifestyle and realize that sometimes sleeping 14 hours a day and enjoying simple pleasures is a great achievement. It's not just an attraction; it's a story of monumental success in species conservation, told through the incredible charm of its heroes.

Today, I had the chance to check in at the Zhongshuge Bookstore, Rongchuang Mao branch. I was curious why so many people love taking photos there. Once I visited, I totally understood. The store is uniquely beautiful with its curved bookshelves. No matter how you take photos, they turn out great. The lighting is perfect, making portraits look flawless. However, it’s quite crowded, so you’ll need to find a good spot. On the upper floor, you can get a full view of the entire store, making it easier to take photos. The lower floor is packed with books, and it’s fun to browse around. There are also quiet spots to sit and read. If you visit in the afternoon, it tends to be busier, but you can still find cozy corners to relax. In summary, the store is truly beautiful, great for photos, and a pleasant place to hang out. Don’t set your expectations too high, but if you’re looking for stunning photo opportunities, it’s worth it. 📍 Location Zhongshuge Bookstore – Chengdu Rongchuang Mao (成都·钟书阁 融创茂店) Located in Wenjiang District, Chengdu, inside the Rongchuang Mao shopping mall. It’s easy to find. 🚇 How to get there Metro → Get off at Lianghe Road Station (两河路站) and walk for 8–10 minutes. Or take a taxi from downtown, which takes about 20–30 minutes. 💰 Costs Free entry.
