Anonymous userIt's a great place to bring kids. The park is very large, but there are maps and plenty of friendly staff who will patiently answer any questions. You absolutely must take the sightseeing bus, otherwise you'll be exhausted! It's a pity Hua Hua was closed on Mondays, but we saw quite a few other pandas, so it was still very satisfying.
4.7/5Anonymous userDujiangyan, a living, millennia-old engineering marvel, delivers a profound and awe-inspiring experience. Standing atop the Fish Mouth Diversion Dam, witnessing how the clear Minjiang River is cleaved in two, one is struck by the tangible form of wisdom. This is no ordinary scenic spot; it is a poem written by the ancients to the earth, continuing to nourish the Chengdu Plain to this day. Crossing the suspension bridge and overlooking the inner and outer rivers, you'll feel as if you've touched the pulse of history. Hiring a guide is highly recommended; the stories of Li Bing and his son "deepening the riverbed and lowering the weir" will instantly imbue the scenery with a powerful impact. Here, we witness the greatest reconciliation between humanity and nature.

StrathclyderThe water features and gardens at Du Fu Thatched Cottage are fantastic, with beautiful scenery at every turn. The area is a good size, not too big or too small, so it's not tiring for seniors to stroll around. Two suggestions: 1. The signs and directional signs could be clearer; 2. More staff could be deployed to the thatched cottage area, perhaps to improve the photo opportunities. There were quite a few tourists, and we encountered a young, inconsiderate girl who rudely shoved an elderly person. We ran fast enough to catch her, otherwise, the girl might have been in trouble.
44.6/5Anonymous userThe Wuhou Temple is definitely worth visiting. I went there with a sense of reverence because I love reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and admire Zhuge Liang. I saw the two memorials to the emperor, many rubbings, and statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and many other heroes of Shu Han. The environment inside is also quite nice, and many tourists were taking photos.

I'd love to go again sometime, though it's a bit tiring on the legs. It's important to exercise more and get out more often. The air in Qingcheng Mountain is truly excellent; I highly recommend a visit.
64.4/5Anonymous userThere’s a shuttle bus from the Dujiangyan train station directly to Panda Valley. Took around 2.5hrs for the full walk. Saw sooo many pandas! They tend to be more active in the morning, and the crowds start coming in from around 9.30AM

M33***29The Sichuan Opera face-changing performance at the Liyuan Guild Hall was absolutely stunning! The actors' skills were superb, and their face changes were rapid and mysterious. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the lighting and sound effects were perfectly coordinated. The entire experience was fantastic, allowing me to deeply appreciate the charm of Sichuan Opera. I highly recommend everyone to experience this visual feast; it's definitely worth seeing!

难 得糊 涂Chengdu's Wenshufang, located at No. 66 Wenshuyuan Street in Qingyang District, is a national AAAA-level open-air historical and cultural district built around the ancient Wenshuyuan Temple. Admission is free and the area is open 24 hours a day, though it's recommended to plan a three- to four-hour visit. The district's architectural style is inspired by traditional western Sichuan courtyards, with blue tiles, white walls, and carved eaves. This creates a unique "courtyard-style commercial street" feel, earning it the nickname "Chengdu's Double Embroidery"—the sound of Buddhist chants echoes within the red walls, while the bustling market life unfolds beyond. Wenshufang's core identity can be summarized as "Zen culture combined with traditional Chengdu folk customs." Within the district, there's a temple every 100 steps and a pagoda every 1,000 steps. In addition to Wenshuyuan Temple (built in the Sui Dynasty and inscribed by Emperor Kangxi), the district also preserves the remains of the "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples," including the Five Mountains Palace, Lengjia Nunnery, and Aido Hall. This area boasts the most concentrated religious and cultural heritage in Chengdu's old city. Building on this foundation, the neighborhood has incorporated elements such as the "Empty Forest Zen Road" market for Zen-inspired goods, the "Manjusri Blessed Land" cluster of protected courtyards, the "Folk Old Street" offering intangible cultural heritage crafts, the "Chengdu Salon" teahouse featuring antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as the "Old Chengdu Food Court" and "Tianzi Food Hall." This all-in-one experience combines incense worship, Hanfu travel photography, gaiwan tea, Sichuan Opera face-changing, and century-old snacks (such as dragon wontons, Zhong dumplings, and Lai glutinous rice balls). The atmosphere is enhanced by the lighting of lanterns at night. Wenshufang is a free historical district offering the most concentrated and convenient experience of old Chengdu: burning incense, enjoying vegetarian food, drinking tea, watching opera, strolling the ancient streets, enjoying snacks, shopping for cultural products, and photographing Hanfu costumes. For a quick experience of slow living and the essence of Zen, simply add this area to your half-day itinerary.
