  • Excursión al Gran Buda de Leshan + Reserva de pandas
    8.00 04/10/2026

    I loved the visit to the reserve. Seeing the pandas in their natural habitat was a beautiful experience. They were super active, and we took lots of photos. That part of the tour was a 10/10, as was the guide, who was excellent. I lowered the rating because the Leshuan Buddha didn't impress me much. Getting there takes 2.5 hours, and the place itself isn't very pretty, much less impressive than in the photos. If I were to return to Chengdu, I would only visit the panda reserve, which is truly unique and much closer.

    A very good experience with our guide Amanda on the visit to the Leshang Buddha. She pointed out the perfect spots for taking excellent photos and provided a great explanation of the site. The driver was friendly and attentive, and the vehicle was very clean.

Chengdu is a fascinating city located in the heart of southwestern China. Known for its vibrant teahouse culture, mouth-watering Sichuan cuisine, and, of course, its beloved giant pandas, this dynamic destination invites visitors to experience a perfect mix of tradition and modernity. Travelers quickly fall in love with the relaxed vibes, friendly locals, and unique atmosphere that set it apart from other major cities in China.

A Glimpse into the Past

With a history stretching back over 2,000 years, Chengdu has long been a center for culture, trade, and gastronomy. As the ancient capital of the Shu Kingdom, its legacy lives on in the city’s historic sites and traditions, from well-preserved temples to lively street markets. Today, traces of old China blend seamlessly with new skyscrapers and innovative districts.

When to Go

The best time to visit is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot and humid, while winters are often chilly but rarely extreme. These shoulder seasons offer the most comfortable climate for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

What are the must-see attractions?

Popular highlights include the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Wuhou Shrine, Jinli Ancient Street, and the relaxed atmosphere of People’s Park. Don’t miss a stroll through traditional neighborhoods or sampling spicy hotpot.
