The Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding+Leshan Giant Buddha Day Tour:Ticket+Private Car
Due to high demand and uncertainties (e.g., low water levels) during the Spring Festival (February 15–23), Leshan Giant Buddha boat tickets may be limited. If you have booked a tour including the boat ride during this period and special circumstances arise, it will be replaced with a hiking tour of the mountain. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Wishing you a pleasant journey!
Itinerary:
Your journey begins with a pickup from your chosen hotel within the third ring road of Chengdu City at your selected departure time, followed by a drive to the parking lot of Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, where you need to handle relevant ticket matters by yourself.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, located in Chenghua District, Chengdu, is the world's largest giant panda ex-situ conservation base and scientific research and breeding center. Renowned for its simulated wild ecological environment, it boasts the largest captive populations of giant pandas and red pandas globally. The base has achieved fruitful scientific research results, having overcome numerous breeding technical challenges. It houses educational venues such as the Giant Panda Museum and the Science Exploration Pavilion, making it an ecological demonstration project that integrates scientific research, education, and tourism, and is hailed as "a natural paradise for the national treasure."
After visiting the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, you'll be driven to the Leshan Giant Buddha (only includes the ticket for the boat tour of Leshan Giant Buddha but excludes tour guides) .
The Leshan Giant Buddha stands majestically at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Leshan, Sichuan Province. Carved into the hillside, it sits perilously close to the river. Its construction commenced in the Tang Dynasty and took ninety years to complete. With a total height of 71 meters, it is the largest stone-carved sitting Buddha in the world. Its grandeur and exquisite craftsmanship fully demonstrate the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients, leaving visitors in awe.
This itinerary is expected to include approximately 5-6 hours of sightseeing at the two scenic areas, without a tour guide.
After the tour, you will be driven back to your original pickup location.
