Jinli Ancient Street

One of the oldest commercial streets in China, Jinli Ancient Street, enchants visitors with its traditional-style buildings and tantalizing Sichuan snacks. As you stroll down Jinli, the air buzzes with the sounds of local opera and artisans at work. Dip into quaint tea houses for a serene pause on your tour or savor some local specialties like Dandan noodles.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

No trip to Chengdu is complete without saying hello to China's national treasure – the giant panda. At the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, get up close and personal with these adorable creatures as they munch on bamboo or playfully tumble with their peers. This center is not only a highlight for visitors but also a crucial hub for panda conservation.

Awe-Inspiring Leshan Giant Buddha

A little over a two-hour drive from the city center, you will find the Leshan Giant Buddha. Carved out of a cliff face, this majestic statue overlooks the confluence of three rivers and is a sight to behold. It's the largest stone Buddha in the world and offers a clear message of peace and tranquility.

The Sichuan Opera

For a taste of local entertainment, nothing beats the Sichuan Opera with its dazzling display of face-changing, fire-breathing, and shadow plays. It's a cultural spectacle that is as mesmerizing as it is unique.

Wenshu Monastery

Find peace and quietude at the Wenshu Monastery. Nestled in bustling Chengdu, Wenshu Monastery is a well-preserved Buddhist temple filled with intricate artworks and lush gardens.

Taking this tour was the best decision during my stay in Chengdu. The guide provided us with wireless headsets, which made following their stories and insights amidst the crowds a breeze. We were given sufficient free time to explore and take photos. Visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha was the highlight for me – the sheer scale of it is truly humbling. Will definitely recommend this to other travelers looking for a comprehensive and accessible way to explore the city's wonders.
