It was amazing to see pandas so close up! The red pandas are also worth seeing! One small drawback: it's a little difficult to find your way around inside the park.

To be honest, we were pleasantly surprised. We're very anti-zoo and were a bit worried about what we'd find, but the truth is the animals seem very well cared for and the park is very clean and well-maintained.

Mornings (7:30–10:00 AM) are ideal—pandas are most active (eating bamboo, playing) before temperatures rise. Avoid Mondays if you want to see the famous panda “Hua Hua” (she has a rest day). Summer visits (June–August) require early arrival (before 8:00 AM) to beat heat (pandas retreat indoors above 26°C). Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer mild weather and vibrant scenery.

The base is a global leader in giant panda breeding, with a 90% success rate in captive breeding. Key conservation efforts include:

  • Cub Rearing: Newborn pandas are cared for in nurseries (mothers often raise one cub, while the other is hand-reared to ensure survival). Cubs stay in nurseries until they’re 1–2 years old, when they move to adult villas.
  • Wildness Training: Selected pandas undergo training in the base’s “Panda Valley” (a separate facility) to prepare for potential reintroduction to the wild.
  • Research Collaboration: The base partners with international organizations (e.g., WWF) to study panda genetics, diet, and habitat protection—helping to increase the wild panda population from 1,114 (1988) to over 1,800 today.

Getting to Wuhou Temple and People's Park is also convenient. The only downside is that traffic can be a bit heavy in the city center during peak hours. However, the hotel concierge was excellent and very attentive. They also have parking available. Overall, it was a great stay.

Except for the location, which I found a bit inconvenient, everything else at Old Shuncheng Street deserves a resounding five-star review. It's actually quite central, with views of Tianfu Square. However, getting to the South Gate is a bit of a trek. The lobby on the 25th floor offers expansive views, and the service is truly excellent. You're greeted as you exit the elevator, guided to the guest room elevators, and receive phone calls both before check-in and after check-out. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, the bedding is top-notch, and even the toiletries are good – I particularly liked the toothpaste. Breakfast deserves special praise; it's among the best at any high-end hotel in Chengdu, surpassing even the Waldorf Astoria and W. What makes it stand out: fresh, beautifully presented fruit, with watermelon cut into perfectly uniform pieces – a lovely detail. The Mapo Tofu at breakfast was incredibly authentic and tasted amazing with the mini steamed buns… and so on. Highly recommended! At this price point in Chengdu's old city, it's essentially the pinnacle. Highly, highly recommended!

This time, I stayed here for one night before heading home from my trip. I had a great experience staying at a St. Regis in Sanya for a week previously, so I wanted to try this one too. I was a bit apprehensive after seeing some negative reviews, but when I arrived, I found the hotel service to be very thoughtful! As soon as I got there, they proactively opened the car door and helped with my luggage. The front desk was very friendly and upgraded my room to a scenic view room, and it even had two windows! They also sent juice to the room. I didn't need turn-down service, so the cleaning staff even gave me four nougat candies! Even though I don't really like sweets, I was very happy about it! The bed was very comfortable. For breakfast, since I had an early flight, I went right when it opened and ate for about 20-30 minutes before leaving. It was a good experience! There were many dishes, and the environment was excellent. They even had Bobo Chicken! And local specialties, but my stomach is small, so I could only eat a little bit! Highly recommend staying here!

This was our third stay on this trip, and we finally managed to book the Fun Family Room. It's significantly larger than the Starlight Family Room we stayed in before, with bunk beds that the kids were really looking forward to, and a small tent perfect for younger children. The overall layout is well-designed, clean, and tidy, with complete amenities. The living experience was excellent!

The room was very clean, and the facilities were a bit basic, but the hotel is a standalone building, so the environment is quite good. Plus, the surrounding area has a lively, local vibe, and it's not too far from the subway station. The only downside is that the hotel's laundry room gets a lot of use, so it's practically impossible to get a turn in the evening. Also, perhaps because of the hotel's parent company, there are many foreigners staying here, but it's not overly noisy. Breakfast was also okay, with a decent variety of good food. Overall, I recommend it!

My overall experience at the Ruicheng Celebrity Hotel was very satisfying. The location is a huge advantage, being close to the subway station, making it easy to get to attractions like Wenshu Monastery and Tianfu Square. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, making it suitable for both leisure travel and business trips. Check-in was very efficient, and the staff were polite and helpful, responding quickly to any requests. The room layout was spacious, and the mattress and pillows were comfortable. The soundproofing was excellent; once the windows were closed, external noise was largely blocked out, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The room also had a desk and chair, and the internet was stable, which was convenient for catching up on work. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including local Sichuan snacks and regular dishes, all of which tasted great. The public areas were grand and elegant, and there was even a laundry and drying service, which is very practical for travelers. The overall value for money is outstanding, and the attention to detail in their service is evident everywhere. It's suitable for both leisure and business stays, and I would definitely choose this hotel again when I come to Chengdu. I sincerely recommend it to everyone.

Yulin Life Plaza and Tongzilin commercial area Chengdu|4.31km from city center
I stayed in an executive twin room on the 19th floor. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Tongzilin subway station, making it easy to get to Yulin and Chunxi Road. The room has been renovated and feels simple yet spacious. The two standard single beds with soft bedding provided ample space for two people. The bathroom features an open-plan shower design, without a bathtub. Booking an executive room grants exclusive access to the executive lounge, with complimentary buffet breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening happy hour. The lounge was quiet with few people, and offered a good selection of light meals and a hot noodle station. The high-floor, floor-to-ceiling windows offered expansive views of the city's nightscape in the southern part of town. All soft drinks in the in-room mini-bar were complimentary, and a coffee machine was provided, ensuring all essential amenities were available. Service was prompt, and the elevators operated smoothly. Overall, the location is convenient, and the executive lounge benefits offer great value for money. However, the bathroom setup is quite basic; I wouldn't recommend it for guests looking for a bathtub or high-end toiletries. It's a great choice for business travelers or short trips.

The location is fantastic, right on Chunxi Road, with a shopping mall next door and easy access to the subway and buses. Even though it's above a bustling commercial street, the room was incredibly quiet. I slept in until 8:30 AM on my first day! Check-in is on the 15th floor, but there's a concierge on the ground floor who provides excellent service; they were always prompt in opening car doors and greeting us upon arrival and departure. I highly recommend trying the all-you-can-eat hotpot on the 16th floor; the food is great, and surprisingly, my clothes didn't smell afterwards! Because of the hotel's prime location, the room felt a little cramped overall, especially the bathroom, which was quite small. However, the excellent service made up for it, so it was still an acceptable trade-off.

Chunxi Road Commercial Area Chengdu|1.29km from city center
If you're visiting Chengdu and want to stay in the Chunxi Road area, this hotel is definitely worth considering. Highly recommended. First, the location is absolutely fantastic. It's right across the street from Chunxi Road subway station Exit A, just about 30-40 meters away, so you won't have to drag your luggage far. Taxis are also readily available; while it might be a bit busy at night, in the morning you can hop in a cab just 20-30 meters from the hotel entrance, unlike some hotels deep inside pedestrian streets. If you're tired at night and want to grab a bubble tea or some hotpot, everything is just a stone's throw away. The lively Chunxi Road commercial area is right next door, and Xiangbin Plaza, with its abundance of eateries (hotpot, skewers, Sichuan cuisine, etc.), is just across the street. It's incredibly convenient for both shopping and dining. What's amazing is that it's not on a noisy main street; it's a quiet oasis in a bustling area, so sleeping isn't a problem, which is a big plus. Second, the room. Before booking, I saw some reviews mentioning that the toilet area in the bathroom was a bit small. However, after staying here, I found it perfectly fine; it wasn't as cramped as I imagined, and completely functional. What I liked most was the room layout – a desk with a chair, and two small sofas by the window. The room might not be the largest among similar hotels, but the space is utilized very efficiently. After a long day of exploring, my family and I could come back, relax on the sofas and chairs, have a drink, and chat comfortably. The space felt perfectly adequate and even cozy. For a small space in this location, I think they've done a great job making it so comfortable. Third, the mattress is just right, not too soft or too hard, and the pillows are comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk staff and cleaning aunties were all very friendly and helpful when I asked for directions or borrowed things, making me feel welcome. Finally, breakfast. It has all the essentials: hot dishes, porridge, bread, fruit, and even freshly cooked noodles. A hot bowl of noodles in the morning is really comforting and satisfying. Overall, unless you have extremely high demands for room size and luxury, this hotel is definitely an excellent choice in the Chunxi Road area. It offers a comfortable stay and convenient access to everything.

Jiuyan Bridge/Sichuan University Area Chengdu|2.5km from city center
Honestly, choosing a hotel in Chengdu is tough. I read reviews for every hotel, and they all seemed to have issues. I was a bit apprehensive when I picked the Shangri-La, especially concerning hygiene and facilities, and even braced myself for the worst. Traveling with my child and parents, I couldn't help but worry a little. But when we arrived, I realized my worries were completely unnecessary! 1. **Facilities are old:** This is unavoidable, as the hotel opened in 2007. Back then, it was definitely top-notch, but it's not 'old' in a negative sense. 2. **Well-maintained:** It's clear the hotel puts effort into maintaining its facilities. 3. **Excellent service:** A big thank you to the front desk staff – they were never impatient, no matter when we approached them. Our family room had a leaking bathroom, and since it was late, we didn't switch rooms that night. The next day, they upgraded us directly to a large family suite! My child was thrilled, and they even waived the breakfast fee for one person. 4. **Presidential visit:** The President of Ecuador also stayed there during our visit, haha! What a coincidence. Security was extra strict those few days; we even had to go through security checks every time we entered or exited the lobby. 5. **Dining:** We ordered room service from the hotel, including dishes from Shang Palace, and the food was truly delicious! Also, the hotel breakfast is absolutely worth it. My father is very particular about breakfast, and the next day he told me the mini steamed buns were excellent! The dan dan noodles and beef wide noodles were also great.

Chunxi Road Commercial Area Chengdu|0.94km from city center
The hotel itself feels very old. Besides the Ibis-exclusive elevator, there are four or five other elevators, but they don't seem to be linked. You have to press the up or down button on each one, which makes waiting for an elevator very inconvenient. The air conditioning in the room was also very noisy. I stayed for two nights and ended up with several bug bites on my legs – not mosquito bites – and they're still itching five days later. The staff on the laundry floor were very nice. Seeing me doing laundry, they offered for me to leave a small card with my requests, and they would help dry and deliver it back to my room door. The lobby staff were just okay. They were incredibly slow at getting things done. I was specifically asked about room preferences, and I only mentioned not wanting a room near the elevator, yet they assigned me one right next to and facing the elevator. I don't understand the point of asking for preferences then. On my second day, even though I had the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on, they still called the room (and no, I hadn't ordered takeout, nor was I a robot). Also, I saw an advertisement at Shuangliu Airport for an SF Express collaboration with the hotel to help send luggage to the airport. When I asked the front desk, they said it used to be available but isn't anymore, and there was no luggage delivery service. I ended up calling myself and successfully arranged for my luggage to be sent to Shuangliu Airport.

The guesthouse's details were even more stunning: the rustic yet exquisite decor created a wonderful atmosphere, the teaware was so delicate I almost didn't want to leave it behind, and afternoon tea with the mountain view was incredibly pleasant; the smart appliances in the bathroom were convenient and high-end, and even the sweet fermented rice balls with brown sugar were incredibly soft and delicious—you could feel the owner's care. The owner's hospitality and the two adorable dogs were the biggest pluses! Playing with the dogs and taking them for walks felt like being at a friend's house. This stay was so comfortable; I'm already thinking about coming back again. Highly recommended, a top choice for family trips!

Yuanyuanxiang is genuinely delicious! Usually, mountain guesthouses either have inconvenient dining or aren't quiet enough. Yuanyuanxiang is both peaceful and offers amazing food! The chef's skills are truly impressive, and you can even order from nearby restaurants to have food delivered to you! The breakfast is also incredibly rich and varied! It's a Western and Chinese buffet, and you can order super tasty noodles! The room also has a variety of snacks, drinks, and fruits, and they are proactively refilled every day! The private hot springs are also meticulously cleaned. When I checked in, there weren't many guests, and the butler even came to help clean it again! All the butlers are very enthusiastic and attentive! I felt extremely well taken care of! Highly recommend!

Chunxi Road Commercial Area Chengdu|2.06km from city center
This is our second stay within a week (after 2 nights at Jiuzhaigou). When we returned, it’s comforting to be greeted warmly by Xiao Zhang at the reception again (he checked us in one our first stay). Although the staff are on shifts and we met different people each day, everyone showed the same level of friendliness and helpfulness. We enjoyed a free upgrade again and loved the room with modern decor, and opportunity to wash our clothes before heading out again. We’re convinced that Sungold is the perfect base to explore Chengdu and other attractions in Sichuan. We’re off to Dujiangyan and Qingchen, and will be back here again for another 2 nights!

This was my second stay, and it's an excellent choice. The location is super convenient, with a subway station right downstairs, and it's just a 10-15 minute walk to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li. The breakfast was rich and delicious, and the service was great. Since it's summer and you need to change clothes multiple times a day, having self-service laundry and drying facilities was incredibly convenient!

Tianfu Square/Chengdu Museum Chengdu|1.04km from city center
This is my second stay at Jinjiang Hotel, and once again, the room was quiet and tidy, and the service was excellent. They called me a day in advance to confirm my needs, and upon check-in, the front desk provided all the necessary information and even upgraded my room. A staff member escorted me to the room and gave me a small panda toy. Fresh fruit was replenished daily, and the mini-fridge was stocked with complimentary chilled beer and soft drinks, which was a very welcome touch, especially with the hot weather in Chengdu. The breakfast was quite comprehensive, and the braised beef was particularly good. The hotel's location is convenient for getting around, not far from various attractions, and you can even see egrets along the river right outside. Staff members Li Shihao and Huang Qiumei were diligent and provided thoughtful service. I would definitely consider staying at Jinjiang Hotel again on my next trip to Chengdu.

I stayed here for two days, and the front desk service was excellent. I added the butler's contact information, and they were always responsive, even late at night when I wanted to pick up takeout. The room was spacious and clean, and the TV screen mirroring worked very smoothly. I especially liked the movable table and sofa in the room, which made it convenient to eat while watching TV. The room was high up with a great view. The breakfast and late-night snacks were especially plentiful. It was a very pleasant stay.

The room was clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The air conditioning was gentle and quiet, and the shower water was soft and pleasant. The common areas were also very clean. The swimming pool on the 5th floor was clean, though a bit small, and there were two warm soaking pools that the kids absolutely loved. The hotel front desk contacted me in advance to arrange a quiet room on a higher floor for me. I went to Chengdu for the auto show and visited Sanxingdui. There are many food options around the hotel; I went out for a late-night snack behind the hotel, which took about 20 minutes to walk to, or just a few minutes by taxi.

Our entire stay was incredibly satisfying. It's truly an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city. The architecture is charmingly old-fashioned, with beautifully carved beams and painted pillars. The garden in the courtyard is meticulously designed. Waking up in the morning and sitting on the wooden chair by the door, enjoying the flowers and birdsong, was delightful. The fresh air, slow pace, and the rustic charm of the blue bricks and grey tiles made me feel as if I had traveled back to the Republic of China era. The breakfast spread was absolutely abundant and varied! I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chengdu!

I have to give a huge shout-out to Xiaoshi at the front desk for this stay! She was incredibly patient and thorough during check-in, proactively letting me know where the elevators and breakfast area were, and even thoughtfully recommended some affordable local eateries nearby. My luggage was quite heavy, and she immediately stepped forward to help me with it. She was friendly and smiling throughout, answering all my questions without the slightest bit of perfunctoriness. Her detailed and thoughtful service really warmed my heart; she truly goes above and beyond in her role. I'll definitely look for her again on my next visit!

We drove to Chengdu, and since there are traffic restrictions based on license plates, having a parking lot at this hotel was incredibly convenient. The security guard was also very kind and welcoming. The front desk staff was diligent and responsible. The room wasn't huge, but it was very elegant, and the bedding was super comfortable. There are lots of great food options nearby, and it's really close to Chunxi Road. If you want to go to Sanxingdui, you can just take a bus from Chunxi Road. Chengdu truly is a relaxing city! After a long day of sightseeing, coming back and having some tea was just perfect. The front desk even gave us a Wenshu Monastery prayer bracelet with 18 beads!

The location is excellent, very close to Metro Line 2 and convenient for buses. Kuanzhai Alley is also nearby and within walking distance. There are plenty of dining options in the surrounding area, catering to all budgets. The room was spacious enough, and it came with tea bags, soft candies, and cookies. In the hallway, there were cold fruit drinks and hot coffee available. All the hotel staff were very friendly. The hygiene was good, and the facilities were neither new nor old. The bathroom occasionally had a slight odor, but that's a minor point, and overall, I highly recommend it.

Global Center/Century City new exhibition Chengdu|9.44km from city center
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded expectations, a quality choice that makes you want to return! I chose Fraser Place Chengdu for this business trip, and the experience was fantastic. Here are a few points I must praise: Thoughtful Breakfast 🥐 The buffet breakfast was not just a perfunctory offering. The homemade yogurt was rich and creamy, perfectly complemented by honey, raisins, and banana chips – refreshing and healthy. The cold milk was also very fresh. In the hot dishes section, there were Sichuan-style stews and authentic spicy ox tongue salad, which was麻辣鲜香 (numbingly spicy, fragrant, and savory). Getting to taste the flavors of Chengdu so early in the morning was very satisfying! First-Class Amenities 🏊 The constant temperature swimming pool on the third floor was absolutely amazing. The water was clear and clean, and when there weren't many people, it felt like having the whole place to yourself. After a swim, I went to the gym for a run, with views of the Global Center visible right outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The yoga room had solid wood flooring, and with the sunlight streaming in, the whole space felt incredibly healing. I followed a yoga session with the smart mirror, and after a good sweat, all the day's fatigue vanished. Overall Impression The service was attentive, the room was clean, and the location was convenient, not far from Intime and the Global Center. It's suitable for both business trips and family vacations. I will definitely choose this place again next time I come to Chengdu. Highly recommend!

West China Hospital and Sichuan Provincial Stadium commercial area Chengdu|1.89km from city center
Excellent as always! This time, I booked the hotel for a foreign teacher. Since the teacher had an early morning flight, they needed to check out around 5:50 AM. I contacted the hotel in advance by phone and WeChat, hoping they could help prepare a portable breakfast. The front desk readily agreed and prepared everything with great care and attention to detail. Later, during a WeChat conversation, I mentioned that the teacher usually drinks tea with breakfast. It was just a casual remark, but I was surprised that the hotel staff took note and thoughtfully included tea with the breakfast. The hotel front desk is a window, reflecting the operations of all departments within the hotel. From a small detail like breakfast, you can feel the hotel's重视 and dedication to meeting guest needs. Such service is not only professional but also incredibly heartwarming. Many thanks to the front desk and all the hotel departments for their meticulous arrangements. It's this kind of above-and-beyond service that makes every stay feel reassuring and satisfying.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the zoo and panda base, and the receptionist, Xiao Shu, greeted us warmly as soon as we entered the lobby. She gave our child candy and even provided slippers and a children's toothbrush – very thoughtful! The hotel environment was great, and there were many snack shops, hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and skewers restaurants nearby, all with delicious food. The room was very clean, well-equipped, and the shower temperature was just right. The air conditioning was also very smart. We could call the front desk for any issues, and they always resolved them promptly. The service was truly excellent.
