Ranked as the top of the 21 world's most beautiful streets by CNN Travel in 2019, Jinli has a long history tied to the foundation of Chengdu. For more than 2,000 years, Jinli has gained acclaim across China as one of the Shu Kingdom's oldest commercial streets. Featuring traditional Qing dynasty architecture and modeled after "the Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the atmosphere of Jinli street has something for everyone including delicious street food, handcrafted souvenirs and live entertainment. It is a nice place to see all kinds of interesting local snacks.

Dujiangyan Red Panda Forest Park

The Dujiangyan Red Panda Forest Park consists of six major parts: Exploring and Tracking Red Panda Reintroduction Experience Garden, Isolated Hall for the Red Panda Scientific Research and Breeding, the Training Site for Red Panda Behavior Desensitization , the Display Area for Red Panda Family Life, Outdoor Center for the Red Panda Fun, and the Red Panda-themed Restaurant. The park provides an unique chance to gain in-depth knowledge about the red panda. Here you can observe the red panda up close and interact with them in a certain degree.

Wolong Panda Base
Once you have seen what Chengdu has to offer, we will hit the road and head north into the Panda’s natural habitat. As we climb in elevation, you will watch as the scenery changes from farmlands to mountainous, temperate bamboo forests. It is in this verdant landscape that we will stop at the world-famous Wolong Panda Base. This reserve provides the best opportunity to photograph pandas against the backdrop of the misty mountain habitat they call home. Witness as caretakers bringing baby pandas stacks of bamboo and milk to gorge themselves on. This park is a must-see for all panda enthusiasts!

Labahe Nature Reserve
Labahe Nature Reserve is located at the Hengduan Mountains with an altitude from 1,900m to 5,400m.

In Labahe, you can search for mammals like the Sambar, Tibetan Macaque, Chinese Goral, Leopard Cat, Sichuan Takin, Chinese Serow, and the Hog Badger.

It brings together six unique landscapes: glaciers, hot springs, snow - capped mountains, red stones, clouds and mist, and virgin forests. Inside the scenic area, there is a well - preserved virgin forest with an extremely high negative oxygen ion content, thus it is hailed as a "natural oxygen bar". Hailuogou not only boasts charming natural scenery but also a rich ethnic flavor. It is a populated area for ethnic groups such as the Han, Tibetan, Yi, and Qiang ethnic groups.

Yanzi Valley

Yanzi Valley boasts a rich variety of natural landscapes and unique cultural charm. On both sides of the river valley, there are magical red stones, forming the magnificent scenery of the "Gongga Red Stone Valley". There are also 15 mountains in the scenic area with an altitude of over 5,000 meters, and it is rich in animal and plant resources. In addition, low - altitude glaciers, virgin forests, hot springs, strange rocks and other landscapes converge here. Coupled with the strong Tibetan cultural atmosphere, Yanzi Valley has become a desirable tourist destination.

Huiyuan Monastery

Huiyuan Monastery is a Gelugpa monastery. It was built in the 7th year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty. Huiyuan Monastery not only features magnificent architecture but also holds great historical significance. The monastery houses a variety of precious cultural relics. Monks chant scriptures for 245 days each year for sacrificial activities. During the religious festivals, believers from all over come to pay homage and chant scriptures.

Shuangqiao Valley

Shuangqiao Valley is nestled in the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area. Here, snow - capped mountains stand tall and imposing, with over a dozen snow peaks exceeding 4,000 meters soaring into the sky. The Moon and Sun Precious Mirror Peak and the Jade Rabbit Peak are particularly prominent. The vegetation here is exuberant, with various trees from low - altitude to high - altitude areas interlacing. The water scenery is captivating. Longzhu Lake and Siguna Lake are crystal - clear like mirrors, reflecting the beautiful mountain views.

Zhonglu Tibetan Village

"Zhonglu" means "a place that both humans and deities aspire to" in Tibetan. Boasting a long history, it is the oldest village in Danba. Here, ancient watchtowers that have stood for thousands of years and traditional Tibetan houses are well - preserved, embodying the profound Jiarong Tibetan culture.

FAQs

1. Where do wild pandas live? What are the current situation of panda habitats?
Giant pandas live in temperate bamboo forests in high mountains of the wild panda habitats. These panda habitats are distributed in 3 provinces, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. They are found in five major areas in China, namely Minshan Mountains, Qionglai Mountains, Xiangling Mountains, Liangshan Mountains, and Qinling Mountains. Giant panda used to live in a much bigger area than it is now. Because of the ice age in the Quaternary period and human activities, now panda habitat has shrunk into much narrower areas, mostly the high mountains and deep valleys in the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau as shown in the map below.

2. Will we have a chance to see wild pandas on this tour?
While Sichuan is famed as a province accommodating the most substantial portion of the wild panda population (74.4%), it should be noted that spotting a wild panda is quite slim due to the small population and unique lifestyle of pandas mostly living inside the bamboo forest. While panda viewings in Labahe have been reported almost every year by both visitors and rangers, it is really hard to predict for a particular trip. For us, we will do our best to show you all the possible attractions we see inside this panda habitat and make your trip full of wonderful memories. Pandas live in the place we are going to visit, and we just enjoy everything we have blessed to see there.

3. If we want to arrive Chengdu in advance or spend more days here after the tour, can AbsolutePanda arrange that for us?
Yes, absolutely. We are more than happy to help our guest to book services and arrange day tours of Chengdu. Please check our website for more day tour options and send us your requirements. We can tailor-make a suitable tour plan for you.

Testimonials

What an amazing experience!
We just returned from a trip to China. Our time with Absolute Panda was the highlight of our trip! We were nervous about finding a company online, and paying for services out of the country. AbsolutePanda was completely honest with us. They were affordable.We had pretty specific interests. The staff at AbsolutePanda helped us through the planning process. They created something perfect for our family! They spent months offering free advice, suggestions, and help. They were flexible with the itinerary. Once in the country, we were treated well. They asked for and supported dietary requests. We got to try a great variety of healthy and delicious food. We had as much bottled water and snacks as we liked. All meals were included in the price. We received small gifts. The company owner checked in, to make sure we were doing ok. We felt like royalty! We stayed at beautiful, and clean accommodations, “off the beaten path.” We went to small mountain towns. They were gorgeous.Our guide, Bella, was exceptional! She was kind, friendly, interesting, reliable, and lots of fun. She spoke very good English. She had an extensive knowledge of local wildlife, as well as history, culture, and everything else we asked. Bella was able to identify any bird or creature she saw, by Chinese and English name. She has great eyes. She could spot wildlife in the distance, that were hard to see even with binoculars. She took us on hikes that matched our skill levels. We saw wild monkeys, gorals, muntjacs, and tons of beautiful birds. We were in highly competent hands. While we were in China, Sichuan had (unprecedented) heavy rains. Some roads were closed, due to mudslides and flooding. Despite this, we were able to travel the areas we wished. AbsolutePanda kept a close eye on conditions. They changed the travel plan/method multiple times, so we could be safe. They got us there still. The drivers were amazing, and I felt comfortable. We changed our own plans in China. This was due to unexpected medical issues we had there. AbsolutePanda worked with us, even with last minute adjustments. They were supportive, helpful, and flexible. They made sure each member of our family was well cared for. Our safety and well-being mattered to them. I can’t recommend AbsolutePanda highly enough! They gave us the trip of a lifetime!
