• Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi) - Begin your day with a trip to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. A private tour guide and driver will pick you up early from your hotel to ensure you see the pandas at their most lively.

At the base, stroll through picturesque bamboo groves and observe over 50 giant pandas as they play, eat, and relax. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the pandas and the conservation efforts here. You’ll also have the opportunity to see red pandas. Expect to spend approximately 2-3 hours at the panda base.

• Leshan Giant Buddha (Da Fo) - Following the Panda Base visit, embark on a 2.5-hour drive to Leshan. Upon arrival, consider enjoying a late lunch at one of the local eateries (please note, lunch is not included in the package).

Upon arrival, explore the world’s largest stone Buddha statue, carved into a cliff face overlooking the meeting point of three rivers. Your guide will share the intriguing history of this 71-meter-tall statue, constructed during the Tang Dynasty (1300 years ago) to pacify the turbulent waters.

You have two options for exploring the area: a. Climb the mountain to reach the Giant Buddha, including a visit to Lingyun Temple and scenic trails offering various viewpoints of the Buddha. b. Take a short boat ride, which provides the best photo angle of the statue from the river.

After the visit, you’ll be driven back to Chengdu (2.5 hours), where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel, concluding your tour with unforgettable memories of this awe-inspiring monument.
