    Everything was great. The Panda Center was a bit crowded, but we were able to see several pandas. Due to the length of the tour, you don't have time to see the entire complex. The visit to the Leshan Buddha was very good, well worth it. Our guide, Mark, was super friendly and attentive—a 10/10.

Chengdu Tours and Activities | Discover the Best Experiences

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.
