First Visit to Chengdu: Panda Base, Old Streets and Dujiangyan
A classic three-day trip: the Panda Base, Kuanzhai Alley and People's Park, Wuhou Shrine and Jinli, plus a day trip to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain.
The common framework of most guides and travel agency three-day itineraries: one day for the Panda Base, Wenshu Monastery and Chunxi Road; one day for the old streets, teahouses and Three Kingdoms culture of Shaocheng; and one day to Dujiangyan and the front mountain of Qingcheng. Stay on Chunxi Road in Taikoo Li for easy metro transfers. The pace is moderate, suited to first-time visitors with limited time. Sanxingdui and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are saved for next time.
The Panda Base requires online real-name reservations. In summer heat, pandas are only active in the morning.
