Explore Dujiangyan Panda Valley – A More Natural Panda Experience
Visit Dujiangyan Panda Valley (China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda), a panda research and conservation area located in the beautiful mountains of Dujiangyan.
Unlike the larger urban panda bases in Chengdu, Panda Valley features a more natural environment with spacious outdoor areas, bamboo forests, and mountain surroundings, offering visitors a quieter and closer look at pandas' daily lives.
During your visit, you will have the opportunity to observe giant pandas relaxing, climbing, and enjoying bamboo in a peaceful mountain setting away from Chengdu's busy attractions. Surrounded by forest paths and natural scenery, the experience offers a more tranquil way to appreciate these beloved animals while learning about panda conservation, breeding programs, and wildlife protection efforts. A morning visit is especially recommended, as pandas are usually more active during this time, creating excellent opportunities for photography and wildlife enthusiasts.
Optional Visit to Dujiangyan Irrigation System – Ancient Wisdom Meets Natural Landscapes
In the afternoon, continue your journey to the world-famous Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of ancient China's greatest engineering achievements.
Built over 2,000 years ago, this remarkable water project still functions today, demonstrating the wisdom of working with nature rather than against it.
During your visit, explore the remarkable engineering wisdom of Dujiangyan by discovering its three key components: Yuzui (Fish Mouth), where ancient engineers used the natural flow of the river to divide water; Feishayan (Flying Sand Weir), a unique flood control system that helps regulate water levels; and Baopingkou (Bottle-Neck Channel), which distributes water to support agriculture. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and historic sites, Dujiangyan offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, ancient ingenuity, and cultural heritage.
Return to Chengdu by High-Speed Train
After a relaxing day exploring pandas, nature, and ancient Chinese engineering, transfer back to Dujiangyan Railway Station and take the high-speed train to Chengdu.
