Highlights
  • Chengdu - In the morning, our driver and guide will meet you at 8:00am of your Chengdu hotel then transfer to Chengdu Panda Base, need 30 minutes driving, 15km.
  • Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi) - First, we will visit the Chengdu’s Giant Panda Breeding Research Base which is home to over 80 of China’s iconic pandas. Most are of the familiar black and white variety, but the Base is also home to a number of the smaller, lesser-known red pandas.

You’ll view the animals eating and at play in a carefully maintained habitat that is as close to their natural environment as possible. You’ll also learn how scientists and ecologists are working to protect the few remaining wild pandas and expand the captive population. On that last note, over 100 bears have been born at the Base since 1987.

The Base became even more important after the Sichuan earthquake of 2008, with eight bears sent here from the badly damaged Wolong reserve. Your visit provides both moral and financial support for the ongoing conservation effort.

  • Huanglongxi Ancient Town - After 80 minutes driving, we will reach the Huanglongxi old town and this town we can see the old Streets,buddhist monasteries,old residence houses and old trees.
    Huanglongxi Old Town has a history of over 1700 years. Huanglong means yellow dragon and xi means river. It was believed that the river and the outline of the town resemble a dragon so it came the name yellow dragon. Huanglongxi Old Town has many constructions built in a traditional style.

Great Day Trip - This tour was perfect for me. The communication with Andy leading up was great... he answered all my questions as I prepared. My guide in Chengdu (Mr. Mark) was on time to pick me up and even helped me find a good coffee on the way in. He led me to the best spots at the panda base and explained things as we went. I was able to stop as long or as little as I wanted throughout. Saw lots of pandas sleeping, eating and even playing. Huanglongxi was a nice addition after the pandas to see some of the local culture and we ate some delicious noodles for lunch. The town has some of the tourist vibe in the area near the front but, more local feel as you went in further. It was worth a visit.
