Excellent! The environment is beautiful and lush. Children can even see poems by various masters. It's definitely worth a visit. You can easily spend half a day exploring the indoor area, or two or three hours just walking around and looking at everything.
It's a great place to visit, perfect for bringing children to learn. There are many interactive exhibits, all very well-designed. The entire Caotang Scenic Area is quite large, with a variety of themed garden landscapes.

I couldn’t find the place to redeem the free keychain. We came around 11 am, only found few pandas who still active. Many of them were sleeping already, including the red panda. The place is not too big, you can finish it in 1-2 hours.
Just needed to bring my passport to enter and it was seamless. The pandas were so cute and active. The facility got busy with tours at around 10am on a Saturday in December. Finding the keychain was a bit more of a challenge but was actually outside of the center near the food market. ho

A highly worthwhile trip! Not only can you observe pandas up close, but you also learn a lot about them. Watching them break bamboo, make steamed buns, and cut bamboo leaves is very fun, and there are guides providing detailed explanations. Little Hu is particularly impressive; she can not only identify the different pandas but also knows their interesting stories. A must-see for panda lovers!
The Dujiangyan Giant Panda Park is also an excellent place to see pandas. It's easily accessible, not far from the Qingcheng Mountain High-Speed Railway Station, and there are also good hotels nearby. The park itself isn't very large, but there are many pandas! Once the pandas come out to their enclosure, they aren't often obstructed by trees, offering a wide viewing angle. The park's slopes aren't very steep, and since early December is the off-season, there aren't many tourists, so you can watch for as long as you like!
Love this place so much. Get to see the pandass from close up. Very cute. The place also not crowded and accesible. The only complain is the bugee ride is very scarce so you have to walk alot on your own.

I finally saw my beloved giant pandas! I've known so many of them through videos before. Little Miracle, Fu Bao, Ya Xing… they're all so adorable! It's the off-season, so there were hardly any people, and I could see them to my heart's content.
This is my second visit, and I would still recommend it to friends from out of town. There are many pandas, they can interact up close, and you don't have to deal with crowds or queues. The only inconvenience is that you need to drive, and since it's far from Chengdu, traffic jams can be a bit annoying. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit.

Arriving just in time for the ginkgo leaves to turn golden, a visit to the Sichuan Provincial Museum offers a unique experience. Besides the permanent exhibitions, they are setting up other temporary displays. A museum visit isn't a once-in-a-lifetime event; frequent visits are the best way to go.
The Sichuan Museum, the largest comprehensive museum in Southwest China, was founded in 1941 and is located at No. 47, 251 Huanhua South Road, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, covering a total area of 12,000 square meters.
In 2009, the new building was completed and its name was changed from "Sichuan Museum" to "Sichuan Museum."

A truly worthwhile place to visit. The cultural history and old town charm are all worth experiencing and appreciating. Located at a high altitude, it offers opportunities for leisurely walking, exploration, and hands-on activities. 😀🌷👍
Dukezong Ancient Town: A Slow Moment Where Tibetan Life Meets Intangible Cultural Heritage
5.0 Rating🌟 Recommended: Rich Tibetan charm, vibrant intangible cultural heritage experiences, and breathtaking night views
🌟 Key Highlights
1. Faith and Scenery in Harmony: A must-see at Guishan Park's world-largest prayer wheel! It requires the combined efforts of several people, and after three turns, the bells chime softly, sunlight filtering through the cracks, creating a captivating atmosphere. From the park's perch, you can overlook the ancient town. At sunset, the crimson walls and the rosy glow of the sunset create stunning photos.
2. Immersive Intangible Cultural Heritage Experiences: The Ancient Town Intangible Cultural Heritage Center holds hidden surprises. Learn to paint thangkas with a master artist, and feel the solemnity of faith as your fingertips trace the lines. The natural aroma of Tibetan incense wafts through the Tibetan incense-making area, and listen to volunteers explain the wisdom of combining over 30 ingredients—an experience far beyond your expectations. Moonlight Square occasionally hosts intangible cultural heritage folk song performances. These a cappella performances are truly soul-stirring, and even if you don't understand the lyrics, you'll still be moved. 3. Nightscape and fireworks blend: After dark, Guozhuang dance music fills Sifang Square, and Tibetans lead tourists in hand-in-hand circles, melting the distance between strangers in laughter. The illuminated ancient city resembles the grandeur of the Tea-Horse Road, with cobblestone pavements bathed in warm light and the evening breeze mingled with the aroma of butter tea.
🍜 Food and Accommodation
- Food Recommendation: The yak beef hotpot at the quiet Mani Stone Tibetan Restaurant is a must-try. The broth is cooked with barley cakes and local mushrooms, creating a rich, meaty and mushroomy aroma. The 3294 barley yogurt sprinkled with sugar offers a sweet and sour taste that's perfect for relieving greasiness. The Tibetan fragrant pork barbecue is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the chili powder makes it even more fragrant with every chew.
- Accommodation Recommendation: Prioritize Tibetan-style guesthouses within the ancient city. Some offer courtyards and view rooms, where you can see the prayer wheels just by opening the curtains. Remember to ask in advance if there's oxygen supply, which will make you feel more at ease at an altitude of 3,300 meters.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Avoid buying handmade Tibetan knives when shopping. They can't be taken on planes or high-speed trains, and mailing them is also troublesome. For yak jerky, choose bulk yak jerky that you can sample to avoid synthetic meat.
2. When joining a tour group, confirm the itinerary details. Some tourists have experienced reduced sightseeing time and unauthorized shopping. We recommend choosing a small tour group and keeping the contract.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival. Oxygen cylinders at pharmacies are cheaper at 15 yuan per can than at the scenic area. Avoid drinking butter tea on an empty stomach to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.
💡 Practical Tips
- Best time to visit: 3:00 PM - 9:00 PM. During the day, visit the intangible cultural heritage sites and turn the prayer wheels. In the evening, watch the sunset. At night, enjoy Guozhuang dance and the night view.
- Outfit suggestion: Wear a white long skirt with a navy blue shawl, or a black sweatshirt with a red scarf. Avoid bright colors that clash with the red clay walls. - Respect customs: Turn prayer wheels clockwise, remove shoes when entering Tibetan houses, and ask permission before photographing locals.
The beauty of Dukezong lies in the slow pace of time, not the rush of checking off a checklist, but in the rhythm of the prayer wheels, the sound of the fluttering prayer flags, and the warmth of the butter tea offered by the Tibetans. Don't rush yourself here; just follow the rhythm of the wind.

We went with one adult and one child. I was a college student and it cost 68 yuan, while my mother cost 260 yuan. Overall, it was a bit expensive and we didn't think it was worth the price. The jellyfish exhibit, which we were most looking forward to, was not open when we went, which was a huge disappointment.
For a student ticket priced at 68 yuan, it's definitely great value for money. There are many exhibits, and the shows are quite good. The only downside is that the jellyfish exhibit was temporarily closed for renovations when I visited, which was a pity.

Since we entered the panda base in the afternoon, most of the pandas were sleeping, so we didn't see many. If I come again, I should go to the panda base to see the pandas in the morning and then go to the zoo in the afternoon. The scenery in the canyon was just average.
I visited four years ago and had a great experience.
The biggest difference this time was that many trees were covered with plastic to prevent pandas from climbing. While this is for safety, doesn't it gradually diminish the pandas' natural instincts?

Prelude to Water Melody: When Will the Moon Be Bright? (Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi)
When will the moon be bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens.
I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace.
I long to ride the wind and return,
But fear the jade towers and crystal palaces,
The heights are too cold to bear.
I dance with my shadow,
How can it compare to being in the mortal world?
The moon turns through the red pavilion, lowers its light through the embroidered windows, illuminating my sleeplessness.
There should be no resentment, yet why is the moon always full when we are apart?
People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion;
The moon has its phases of waxing and waning.
This has been difficult to achieve since ancient times. I only wish that we may live long and share the beauty of the moon, though separated by a thousand miles.
Overall, it's a good place; the gardens are quite interesting. The ginkgo trees at the entrance are beautiful, and the bamboo is also nice. The Three Su Temple is a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. A landmark of Meishan.
