What To Expect
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding
Your tour starts at 8:00am, when your guide and driver pick you up at the lobby of your hotel. You will first visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda, as the pandas are very active in the morning. There you will see lovely furry giant pandas of all ages eating and playing with each other. You will also have a chance to see the very cute baby pandas, as well as documents and pictures showing how these little pink mouse-size animals grow into giant white and black chubby pandas of over 220 lbs (100kg).
Kuanzhai Alley
You will then proceed to Broad and Narrow Alleys. It is really fun to stroll along the ancient street lined with many old houses and some newly-built ones with a traditional style. You will have your lunch here (own expense), and you can ask for your guide's advice on where to eat.

5.005-Star Review: Chengdu Panda & City Tour with Guide Connie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family had an outstanding day in Chengdu with guide Connie! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and perfect with kids — making everything fun and informative. The Giant Panda Base was the highlight: we saw active pandas (including babies) up close, and Connie shared great insights while helping us get amazing photos. The city tour afterward covered Jinli Ancient Street, Wuhou Shrine, and People’s Park

An Unforgettable Chengdu Experience with the Amazing Ling!

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Chengdu with Ling, and she is truly an exceptional guide! From the moment she warmly received us at the airport, she went completely above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests. On our very first day, she recommended a wonderful local restaurant with delicious, authentic Sichuan food that absolutely warmed our hearts. Ling took us to see the pandas at the Panda Base, guided us through the Wide and Narrow Alleys, and explored the Jinsha Site Museum and the Sichuan Opera with us. Her kindness, impeccable English, and vibrant energy made our entire trip an amazing experience. We are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us. If you are visiting Chengdu, we cannot recommend a better guide. Ling is the absolute best!

We visited the Giant Panda Base in the morning, and in the afternoon we explored the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum, the Narrow and Wide Alley, and finally relaxed at People’s Park while drinking tea. Carmen shared lots of interesting information and made the entire tour enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!
