What you can expect

Experience the calm and leisurely charm of Chengdu on this full-day cultural journey. Begin your morning at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, the world-famous sanctuary dedicated to protecting China's national treasure. With a guided 4-hour exploration, wander through bamboo forests, panda nurseries, and open-air habitats to observe giant pandas at different stages of life—from playful baby cubs to relaxed adult pandas enjoying their morning feeding. Your guide will share interesting facts about panda conservation, breeding, and daily habits.

Continue your day with a visit to a traditional Chengdu teahouse, a beloved symbol of the city’s slow and peaceful lifestyle. Sip a classic (bowl tea) and watch locals chat, play cards, and enjoy their quiet moments. Learn about the tea culture that shapes everyday life in Chengdu and discover why the city is known for its “安逸” atmosphere.

In the afternoon, head to a vibrant theatre to enjoy a captivating Sichuan Opera performance featuring the iconic Face-Changing art. Marvel at the performers’ colourful costumes, lightning-fast mask changes, fire-breathing skills, and traditional music that bring Sichuan’s cultural heritage to life.

This tour offers the perfect balance of nature, culture, and entertainment—an ideal introduction to Chengdu for first-time visitors.
