It takes about one hour by car from the airport to reach the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, one of the world’s most renowned panda conservation centers. The base is dedicated to the research, breeding, and protection of giant pandas.

Here, you’ll have the chance to see pandas of all ages — from tiny cubs in the nursery to adult pandas happily eating bamboo and playing in spacious outdoor enclosures. The entire park is thoughtfully designed to mirror the pandas’ natural habitat, with lush bamboo forests, peaceful lakes, and scenic walking paths, offering visitors a relaxing and immersive experience.

These 3 places are located in the heart of Chengdu, close to each other, and are must-visit spots for anyone coming to the city.

Chunxi Road – A bustling pedestrian street full of shops, boutiques, and local snacks, perfect for exploring Chengdu’s lively atmosphere.

Taikoo Li – A modern open-air shopping area that blends contemporary design with traditional Sichuan style, featuring high-end brands, cafes, and art spaces.
