Anonymous userHua Hua queued for over an hour and finally saw people eating, and He Ye sleeping. Grandpa Tan was very dedicated. We also saw several mischievous kids who loved to cause trouble. Just be careful if you have a bad sense of direction, we kept getting lost at the bus stop, and our tickets to the scenic area felt like a waste.

阿香梦游世界This museum is quite convenient to get to by car, with ample parking. The parking lot is about a 15-minute walk from the museum entrance. However, it's quite far from the city center, making the journey time very long, so be sure to plan your time carefully. The museum grounds are very large; to see everything, you'll need about a full day (a visit typically takes seven to eight hours). From the parking lot to the entrance, there are many guides soliciting customers, but official guided tours are available for booking, and sharing a tour with others can be very cost-effective. Electronic audio guides and online audio guides are also available for purchase at the entrance, and they are all reasonably priced.

44.4/5Anonymous 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

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.

M41***74This was the most satisfying hotel of the trip. It's a large hotel with many places to explore. We saw swans, and even casual snapshots turned out quite nice. The park was well-maintained. The staff were also very welcoming and attentive. I'm planning a second stay with my family.
94.7/5Anonymous userHow could you visit Sichuan without seeing pandas! After doing a lot of research, I chose this base where I could get up close and personal with them. Traveling during the off-season was perfect – less crowded and a truly immersive experience! The weather was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, ideal for watching the pandas frolic. It turns out these adorable pandas are actually "hidden beasts" – you can only observe them quietly up close, not touch them, which adds to their charmingly wild side. Watching them happily devour bamboo shoots or roll around and nap, their endearing antics were captivating. The entire experience was immersive and therapeutic, a truly relaxing and therapeutic experience. I definitely want to bring my kids next time to experience the joy of being a panda "cat servant"!
104.6/5Anonymous userShenshuping is quite far, but thankfully there's this direct bus. It departs at 7:00 AM from the north overpass of Mirui Square and returns at 4:30 PM, which is very convenient. I'll definitely use it again next time I go to Shenshuping.
Achieved a 3-year streak on the annual lists
