Dujiangyan Panda Valley: Not Recommended for Direct Visits

Just got back from Dujiangyan with my kid! Here’s a carefully curated leg-saving itinerary Tested and approved for both adults and kids to have a blast. Save this now‼️ - 🚗【Transportation Options】 Take my advice! Definitely hire a car! The attractions are scattered and walking everywhere is exhausting. A driver can pick you up directly from your hotel, super convenient. (More cost-effective compared to the hassle of taxis + high-speed trains) - 🐼【Perfectly Planned Itinerary】 Panda Valley → Yangtianwo Square → Guan County Ancient Town → Dujiangyan Scenic Area → Nanqiao Night View - 📝【Must-Read Tips】 1️⃣ Visit Panda Valley early! The pandas nap in the afternoon. 2️⃣ Enter Dujiangyan Scenic Area via the "Qinyan Tower Entrance." 3️⃣ Skip the crowds at Nanqiao for the blue lights! Walk 100 meters west to "Tianfu Yuan Langqiao" for fewer people and bluer lights. 4️⃣ Must-try food in Guan County Ancient Town: Wenge Green Onion Rolls + Zhao Mai Noodles Sweet Water Noodles - 🍜【Hidden Food Map】 Yangliu River Street: ✔️ Yiguo Kitchen (Freshly squeezed juice, cheap and large cups) ✔️ Xin Fan Beef Tofu Pudding (Spicy and flavorful) Wugui Bridge Street: ✔️ Ye Grandma Soy Milk Bun (Intangible cultural heritage snack) ✔️ Zhong Duck (Sweet-skinned duck is amazing) - 📸【Secret Photo Spots】 🔸 Yangtianwo Square: Take photos from the escalator or low-angle shots looking up. 🔸 Anlan Suspension Bridge: Side shots from the stone steps at the bridgehead to avoid crowds. 🔸 Blue Lights: Adjust your phone’s color temperature to 3000K for a bluer effect. - Dujiangyan is definitely worth visiting multiple times. Next time, I’m planning to explore Mount Qingcheng!
