Welcome to Chengdu🐼, the gateway to the largest population of giant pandas! Once your flight lands at the airport, your local guide will greet and escort you to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for leisure.
Day 2
Chengdu, Giant Panda🐼 and Sanxingdui Museum
No tour of Chengdu is complete without seeing the giant pandas. These delightful black-and-white creatures are typically most active in the early morning, so plan to arrive at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base around 8:30 a.m. to witness them climbing trees, munching on bamboo, and frolicking on the grass.
After lunch, you will visit the Sanxingdui Museum, which offers a unique glimpse into ancient Chinese history through a remarkable collection of unearthed relics, including striking bronze sculptures, intricate gold artifacts, exquisite pottery, and beautiful jade pieces from 4,500 years ago. The 2.62-meter-tall standing statue, the 1.38-meter-wide bronze mask, and the 3.95-meter-high bronze tree are unmissable.
Optional: A Sichuan Opera performance in the evening is recommended. You'll be captivated by the incredible face-changing technique, where performers swiftly transform their masks to convey different emotions and characters.
Day 3
🚩Chengdu - Leshan - Chengdu, Giant Buddha
In the morning, take a 2-hour drive to see the awe-inspiring Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world. Carved into a cliff over 1,200 years ago, this 71-meter-tall statue is a must-see marvel of ancient art and engineering. You can climb to the top for a closer look at its impressive details or enjoy a relaxing boat cruise to take in its majestic grandeur from a peaceful vantage point.
After your unforgettable visit to Leshan, we'll take you back to Chengdu.
