Chengdu World Horticultural Expo Park

4.5
4.1/5
541 reviews

The World Horticultural Exposition is an international exposition recognized by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in the Netherlands. The Expo is scheduled to be held from April 26 to October 28, 2024, with the theme of "Park City, Happy Chengdu". It adheres to the concepts of green and low-carbon, sustainable conservation, sharing and inclusiveness. In the construction of the site, the existing main vegetation will be retained as much as possible, and Chengdu's good plant growth conditions will be fully utilized. The native tree species will be mainly used, and the special plants such as medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, roses, crabapples, and crape myrtles will be displayed in combination with the characteristics of the exhibition garden to create a diverse plant community and plant landscape. From theme to planning and design, the Chengdu Expo has always adhered to the three principles of "green and low-carbon, conservation and sustainability, sharing and inclusiveness", which are in line with the construction concept of a park city. A "green, harmonious, and ecological" Expo. Green is the urban background of Chengdu that has been nurtured for thousands of years. We will take "production, ecology, and life" as the core concept, fully integrate the construction and subsequent operation of the Expo into the Jiangxi River area, and fully adopt green, environmentally friendly, recycling, and energy-saving technologies and low-carbon, natural, and ecological materials, emphasizing sustainable retention and lasting use. Integrate the Expo into the city's public space, build more parks and green spaces, and increase people's happiness index and sense of gain. A World Horticultural Exposition with "Chengdu's own characteristics". First, it integrates Chengdu's unique history and regional culture. This includes Chengdu's garden and horticultural culture, people's life culture, folk art, etc. The World Horticultural Exposition held here will be a feast that highlights Chengdu's culture and life attitude; second, it highlights the advantages of the park city in ecological environment construction. Chengdu has been an ecological flower city since ancient times. We will pay attention to people's life experience in the city, actively promote the construction of park cities, and show Residents an ecological scene of harmony between man and nature. Third, the planning layout and operation system of the World Horticultural Exposition highlight innovation. The site focuses on the protection and utilization of water, fields, forests, and residential resources with the characteristics of western Sichuan, so that the construction of the World Horticultural Exposition can achieve low consumption and sustainability. In terms of operation, multiple parties participate, integrate smart concepts, plan to form a diverse tour system, and innovatively use new technologies and new means to achieve resource aggregation and sharing.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

4.6/5
114.9k reviews

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is home to many adorable giant pandas, and you can observe these charming national treasures up close. Located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is approx. 10 km from the city center, and its construction fully simulates the wild living environment of giant pandas, with lakes, streams, bamboo forests, lawns, and more. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has many "panda villas", which are enclosed leisure areas for pandas. Each features an outdoor yard and an indoor rest room. When the weather is cool, the giant pandas play in the yard, and visitors can watch the adorable pandas through the railings; when the weather is hot, the giant pandas hide in the air-conditioned rest rooms, and visitors can only watch them through the glass. You can also see pandas in the new area of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and they are our hero pandas. The pandas' home is bigger, and their activity range is wider. Seeing pandas is the main draw, but there is plenty more to do and see. A must-visit is our landmark building — the internet-famous Panda Tower. As a new landmark of Chengdu, it stands at the highest point of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The tower is 69.8 m tall with 11 floors. Its exterior resembles a giant bamboo shoot, while the interior is shaped like a blooming hibiscus flower. Inside, 81 platforms are distributed throughout, allowing visitors to enjoy the views of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding from multiple angles. There is also the Art Museum (New Building) located in the dense forest area of the new district, which uses emerging exhibition methods such as multi-sensory interaction, lighting installations, interactive installations, and thermal sensing to create immersive exhibition scenes for visitors. The new area of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding plans to set up science popularization display boards and interactive facilities with rich content and diverse forms in four major zones, so that visitors can learn about giant pandas while watching them and enhance their interactive experience. On festivals related to animal and environmental protection, themed science popularization activities will also be carried out for visitors of different age groups, such as interactive lectures, family-friendly science popularization, mystery exploration games, and other activities that combine education with entertainment. When you're tired from playing, you can also go enjoy a musical — "Panda": it vividly presents to the audience the scene of magical animals, with the giant panda as their representative, coexisting harmoniously, sharing nature, and loving life on the beautiful and fertile land of Chengdu, Sichuan. Through the form of a musical, it reflects the livable landscape of Chengdu, Sichuan, and the simple and leisurely life of the local people. In terms of total area, it has increased from the original 1,035 mu to 3,570 mu, expanding by 2.5 times. During the expansion, the original topography and landforms were fully followed and preserved, and the multi-level landscape belts of mountain valleys formed by mountain gullies and streams were utilized to create 11 giant panda venues, multiple science popularization venues, and visitor pedestrian streets and other sightseeing locations. After the expansion project is completed, it can accommodate no fewer than 180 giant pandas and companion animals such as red pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys. As of now, multiple giant pandas and red pandas have moved into the "new homes" in the expansion area, and rare animals such as golden snub-nosed monkeys will also be waiting to welcome everyone in the future. In terms of design, the new area is equipped with ample visitor facilities in accordance with 5A attraction standards. It not only provides basic facilities such as sightseeing vehicles and tourist restrooms, but also equips the hill commercial street, the exit commercial street, and scattered commercial complexes in various zones with a large number of tourism service facilities. The planned business formats include dining, souvenir sales, postal services, cinemas, theaters, and experiential education, among others, and the quantity is sufficient to meet visitor demand. After nearly a year of operation, in response to the practical issues of the new area's large size and uneven distribution of supporting facilities, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has added multiple beverage vending machines, direct drinking water dispensers, and shared convenience facilities throughout the new area to improve the visitor experience. Next, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will further supplement and improve visitor rest facilities, inquiry service facilities, and guide and navigation facilities to meet visitor needs. The expanded Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will help Chengdu build a demonstration site of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, improve conditions for giant panda research and conservation, protect biodiversity, fully demonstrate the brand value, cultural value, and economic value of giant pandas, and build the cultural tourism brand of "Sanxingdui, Jiuzhaigou, and Giant Pandas: A Leisurely Journey Through Sichuan." New businesses and projects such as the Panda Art Museum, IMAX Theater, and Panda Theater are now open, meeting visitors' needs for dining, entertainment, sightseeing, shopping, and leisure while they watch giant pandas.

Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum

Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum

4.6/5
29.7k reviews

Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum is a shrine and temple complex commemorating Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and other heroes of Shu Han. It consists of Hui Ling Mausoleum, Han Zhaolie Temple, Wuhou Shrine, and Sanyi Temple, and is one of the few shrines in China where a ruler and his ministers are worshipped together. Hui Ling Mausoleum was first built in 223 AD, the third year of the Zhangwu era of Shu Han, when Liu Bei was buried. Over subsequent dynasties, additional sacrificial structures were gradually built around the mausoleum. The special shrine commemorating Zhuge Liang was approximately built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, located beside Hui Ling. In the 24th year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1391), Zhu Chun, Prince Xian of Shu, under the rationale that "sovereign and minister should be integrated as one," merged Hui Ling, the Han Zhaolie Temple, and the Wuhou Shrine into a single entity. Because Zhuge Liang had a profound influence among the common people, they customarily referred to the entire area collectively as the "Wuhou Shrine." The main structures of the existing shrine were rebuilt during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty. The buildings within the shrine are arranged along the central axis from south to north, passing in sequence through the main gate, the second gate, Liu Bei Hall, the transitional hall, and on to Zhuge Liang Hall and Sanyi Temple. Liu Bei Hall enshrines a statue of Liu Bei, with the side halls on either side housing statues of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively, while the east and west corridors contain dozens of statues of Shu Han civil officials and military generals. A large number of Three Kingdoms cultural steles and inscribed plaques and couplets are preserved inside and outside the halls, among which the Tang dynasty "Three Excellences Stele"—with text by Pei Du, calligraphy by Liu Gongchuo, and engraving by Lu Jian—and the "Attacking the Heart Couplet" inscribed by Zhao Fan of the Qing dynasty are particularly well known. The "red walls and bamboo shadows" within the attraction is a representative photo spot in Chengdu, featuring red walls lining the path and lush green bamboo casting shade, with outstanding light and shadow effects. The garden area on the west side of Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum was originally the cemetery of Liu Xiang, a general of the Sichuan army. It contains structures such as a stone memorial archway gate, a three-arch gate, a square pavilion, and Jianxin Hall, featuring the architectural style of northern cemeteries, which is relatively rare in the southwestern region. Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum is adjacent to Jinli Ancient Street, so visitors can easily visit both during the same trip.

Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum

Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage is the former residence of Du Fu, the Sage of Poetry, during his exile in Chengdu. In the winter of 759 AD, Du Fu came to Chengdu with his family to escape the An Lushan Rebellion. In the spring of the following year, he built a "thatched cottage" by the Huanhua Stream and lived there. Du Fu resided here for three years and nine months in total, during which he composed more than 240 poems that have been passed down to this day. Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage is hailed as "the holy land of Chinese literary history." In the late Tang Dynasty, the poet Wei Zhuang located the site of the thatched cottage and rebuilt the thatched hut. Thereafter, Du Fu Thatched Cottage underwent fourteen large-scale renovations and expansions from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties to the present day. After the founding of New China, in 1952, Du Fu Thatched Cottage was fully renovated and officially opened to the public. In 1955, the Du Fu Memorial Hall was established, and in 1985 it was renamed Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum. It is now one of the first batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level, a National First-Class Museum, a National Key Protection Unit for Ancient Books, and a National 4A-Level Tourist Attraction. Its area has also grown from the "one mu of cleared thatch" when Du Fu built the cottage to nearly 800 mu today, including 300 mu of cultural relic area and 500 mu of Huanhua Garden area. Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum is a public welfare Class II institution, and is also additionally designated as the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Academy Art Museum and the Chengdu Chinese Calligraphy Museum. It currently has an authorized staffing of 123 positions and 16 internal working bodies, with its main source of funding being admission ticket revenue. Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum is a museum of ancient architecture, a large-scale center for the collection and display of Du Fu research materials and Du Fu poetry calligraphy and painting in China, an important platform for inheriting and promoting excellent Chinese poetry culture, a representative base of classical gardens in western Sichuan, and a protection and exhibition center for ancient architecture in western Sichuan. Its ancient buildings feature wooden column-and-tie structures, with representative buildings including the Grand Hall, the Hall of Poetry History, the Ministry of Works Hall, the Thatched Hut, and the Sutra Library; its distinctive poetic garden views include the Bonsai Garden, the Orchid Garden, and the Plum Garden.

I've been to Sancha Lake many times now, but I take the boat less often than before. Now, every time I go to Sancha Lake, I go to Taoyuanba's Special Fragrant Fish Restaurant to eat their signature fish, which is also located by the lake.

It was the day before the Expo closed, and I arrived late to give it a quick tour. The park is quite large, but because it closed the next day, pop-up restaurants like Haidilao had already been removed, so I didn't get to see them. The entire park is magnificently designed, and the weather was beautiful that day, with blue sky and white clouds against the backdrop, the scenery was quite photogenic. Since I had children with me, I could only take the sightseeing bus; walking was definitely not an option. There are no restaurants in the park, which is not very convenient, except for a simple Pizza Hut at the entrance. Chengdu style, Sichuan glory

[Scenery] Influenced by internet celebrities, I went to Danjingtai for the first time to climb the mountain. The artificial landscape is very creative and is also a check-in spot for internet celebrities. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see everything at a glance (as shown in the picture). [Fun] There are glass plank roads, sky cafes, children's playgrounds, etc. on the top of the mountain, all kinds of entertainment and satisfaction. [Cost-effectiveness] It is about 60 kilometers from Chengdu. The parking fee at the bottom of the mountain is 10 yuan. If you take a car to the mountain, each person will pay 10 yuan. It is suitable for all kinds of groups to play.

Close to Chengdu, quite exciting! 90% of the whole route is artificial slope, the water quality is average, the scenery is average, but it is very exciting, no time to enjoy the scenery, the whole journey is life-saving:). There are a lot of people on weekends, and the queues for ticket exchange and changing clothes are a bit chaotic. The queue for buying VIP tickets is a little shorter, and the queue for ordinary tickets is at least one hour. Parking lot No. 2 is closest to the visitor center. Take the scenic area bus up the mountain. Other parking lots require two short shuttles.
