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.

5.00Charles gave us the most insight into Chengdu. The food recommendations were the best I’ve ever tasted in China. His knowledge and eagerness exceeded my expectations. He sent bubble tea to our hotel room for the robot delivery experience. He went out of his way to make our boat memorable.

5.00We booked this tour directly with TravelChinaGuide. Our tour guide, Claire, was a fantastic guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She had an excellent command of English. We wanted to purchase a tasty snack and some herbal supplements, so she assisted us with making an online purchase to be delivered to our hotel. She also helped us find a tasty hot pot restaurant near our hotel. We enjoyed the sites of Chengdu on this day tour. We wish we had more time to explore the city with Claire.
SUPER! 😊
