Chengdu Panda Base & Leisure 1 Day City Tour

Chengdu Panda Base & Leisure 1 Day City Tour

For local Chengdu People, especially the elders, going to a tea house to lean back in the bamboo chairs is quite a common thing in their daily life. All the day they just drink some tea, relax, chat or play Majiang, let the day pass by. To touch real Chengdu, the traditional tea house should not be missed. Kuan Zhai Alley is composed of wide alley and narrow alley, in which there are a lot of traditional Siheyuan (courtyards). It is one of the hottest tourist destinations in Chengdu that well worth a visit. The triumph of Jinli Old Street lies in the perfect combination of local culture and business. It is quite attractive not only for its historical legend, but also for the ancient-style buildings coming down from Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Detailed itinerary:

As the hometown of Giant Panda, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding should not be missed when you come to Chengdu! In the morning your private tour guide and driver will be greeting at the hotel, and then you are going to see the lovely creatures. Located in northern suburb of Chengdu, this Panda Base takes us about 40-50 minutes to get there from downtown area. In this park-like base, you are sure to see many pandas at one time that we cannot realize in other places all over the world.

Wave goodbye to the lovely pandas, head for People’s Park, the first park set in Chengdu City. It has 100 years of history and now become one of the most popular parks of Chengdu. There are many old people doing exercises group by group. Some of them are practicing sword, some are playing Tai Chi. Chengdu’s leisure life and slow pace is well known in China that just a walking in the park you can easily find out. If you like, you can choose to drink some tea in the traditional tea house inside People’s Park.

DAY1

Later, shift your sight to Kuanzhai Alleys. The so-called Narrow and Wide Alley shows what old Chengdu was like. It is a preserved area with refurbishment where you can see typical grey bricks used to construct buildings in ancient Chengdu. There are many handicrafts men setting stalls along the alley, including ear cleaning, sugar art and long-stemmed tobacco pipe folk. You can move slowly to get an insight of Chengdu’s leisure life from long time ago.

After lunch, transfer to Jinli Old Street. You shall walk on its paved road, looking for the essence of Chengdu’s daily life: tea house, pub, snacks, local specialties and handicraft arts.

Enjoy yourselves to the late afternoon, and then be transferred back to the hotel.
