Tour 'Wow' Points
Spend a morning with cute pandas:
If you like animals, don’t miss the Panda Base. It’s best to go early in the morning to see the pandas eating around 9:30 am, which is their most active time of the day.
Be a Chengdu person for half a day:
Walk leisurely in Jinli Ancient Street, admire traditional-style buildings, and taste a variety of local snacks. Enjoy a cup of tea in People’s Park.
Stroll leisurely in Jiuzhaigou and explore Jiuzhaigou in depth:
We deliberately arranged two days in Jiuzhaigou so that you can explore further at your own pace, while most tourists will only stay there for one day and just browse the popular attractions.
Stroll along the streams, waterfalls and limestone landscapes in Huanglong Scenic Area:
Take the cable car to the top of Huanglong Valley, then hike down the mountain to see the beautiful travertine lake terraces up close.
