    I really enjoyed the atmosphere here; it's a lovely garden scenic spot. Du Fu was truly Du Fu—he knew how to choose a place to settle down! Although his own thatched cottage was very simple, the location he chose was truly beautiful and ideal for living. In short, I really liked this place! At first, I thought the ticket price was a bit expensive before going inside, but after walking around, I found it was definitely worth it.

    Definitely worth a visit—and not crowded! I went around 2 PM during feeding time and got to watch the pandas enjoying their lunch while the red pandas were napping afterward. Dujiangyan is a great place to see these amazing animals and also check out the famous Nanqiao Bridge. I’d love to come back again!

    On my first trip to Sichuan, I headed straight to the Jinsha Site, highly recommended by a friend—less crowded, a better experience, and it holds the ancient Shu romance that shares the same lineage as Sanxingdui. Upon entering the park, the Sun Bird gold foil is a must-see. On the paper-thin gold sheet, four divine birds are depicted head to tail, their forms reflecting the light and shadow of three thousand years ago. The bronze tree fragments, with their intricate patterns, reveal the ancient Shu people's worship of heaven and earth. Tons of ivory and warm jade cong and zhang silently tell the story of the ancient Shu Kingdom's sacrificial traditions. These artifacts, though not crowded, use details to depict the brilliance of the ancient Shu civilization. A visit here feels both historically weighty and unhurried, perfect for a leisurely experience.

    Chengdu's Wenshufang, located at No. 66 Wenshuyuan Street in Qingyang District, is a national AAAA-level open-air historical and cultural district built around the ancient Wenshuyuan Temple. Admission is free and the area is open 24 hours a day, though it's recommended to plan a three- to four-hour visit. The district's architectural style is inspired by traditional western Sichuan courtyards, with blue tiles, white walls, and carved eaves. This creates a unique "courtyard-style commercial street" feel, earning it the nickname "Chengdu's Double Embroidery"—the sound of Buddhist chants echoes within the red walls, while the bustling market life unfolds beyond. Wenshufang's core identity can be summarized as "Zen culture combined with traditional Chengdu folk customs." Within the district, there's a temple every 100 steps and a pagoda every 1,000 steps. In addition to Wenshuyuan Temple (built in the Sui Dynasty and inscribed by Emperor Kangxi), the district also preserves the remains of the "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples," including the Five Mountains Palace, Lengjia Nunnery, and Aido Hall. This area boasts the most concentrated religious and cultural heritage in Chengdu's old city. Building on this foundation, the neighborhood has incorporated elements such as the "Empty Forest Zen Road" market for Zen-inspired goods, the "Manjusri Blessed Land" cluster of protected courtyards, the "Folk Old Street" offering intangible cultural heritage crafts, the "Chengdu Salon" teahouse featuring antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as the "Old Chengdu Food Court" and "Tianzi Food Hall." This all-in-one experience combines incense worship, Hanfu travel photography, gaiwan tea, Sichuan Opera face-changing, and century-old snacks (such as dragon wontons, Zhong dumplings, and Lai glutinous rice balls). The atmosphere is enhanced by the lighting of lanterns at night. Wenshufang is a free historical district offering the most concentrated and convenient experience of old Chengdu: burning incense, enjoying vegetarian food, drinking tea, watching opera, strolling the ancient streets, enjoying snacks, shopping for cultural products, and photographing Hanfu costumes. For a quick experience of slow living and the essence of Zen, simply add this area to your half-day itinerary.

    The most worthwhile part to see are the various dinosaur skeletons, which are quite impressive.

    How could you visit Sichuan without seeing pandas! After doing a lot of research, I chose this base where I could get up close and personal with them. Traveling during the off-season was perfect – less crowded and a truly immersive experience! The weather was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, ideal for watching the pandas frolic. It turns out these adorable pandas are actually "hidden beasts" – you can only observe them quietly up close, not touch them, which adds to their charmingly wild side. Watching them happily devour bamboo shoots or roll around and nap, their endearing antics were captivating. The entire experience was immersive and therapeutic, a truly relaxing and therapeutic experience. I definitely want to bring my kids next time to experience the joy of being a panda "cat servant"!
