Introduction to Trip Destinations:
 

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding
Holding the distinction as one of the world’s largest panda base, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (Chengdu Panda Base) attracts tourists and wildlife enthusiasts worldwide. Conveniently located a short drive away from downtown, this state of the art research facility comfortably houses more pandas than anywhere else at home and abroad. During your visit, you will see pandas ranging from young cubs to lumbering adults as well as the elusive and adorable red panda. Additionally, the scenic, garden-like atmosphere of the panda base is especially ideal for urban birding like Red-billed Leiothrix, Ruddy Shelduck, Chinese Blackbird, Spotted Dove, etc.
 

Mount Qingcheng
Located near the scenic city of Dujiangyan, Mount Qingcheng is one of the best places to visit to gain a deeper perspective on China’s indigenous religion of Taoism. With a history spanning hundreds of years, Qingcheng is the host to a variety of temples showcasing the elegant architecture of Taoist tradition. Visitors to the mountain can navigate a series of staircases winding up through peaceful forests in search of practitioners and shrines dedicated to notable Taoist deities and figures. The peaceful atmosphere and cultural significance of Mount Qingcheng have even earned it global recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
 

Dujiangyan Irrigation System
With over 2,200 years of history, the ancient irrigation system in Dujiangyan is known as the only ancient irrigation project of its kind still at work till now. Built in the 3rd century BC, Dujiangyan Irrigation System is a world-famous irrigation project reflecting the high wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. This project is credited with having turn the vast fertile land in Chengdu Plain into a breadbasket and made it known as a Land of Abundance in China. In 2000, the irrigation system was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List together with the neighboring Taoist Qingcheng Mountain. 
 

Wolong Panda Base
Wolong Panda Base is a new panda base built with the charity donation from Hong Kong Government after the 2008 earthquake during which the old Wolong Panda Base was damaged. It takes about a 2.5-hour drive from Chengdu to the base. This base is located inside the panda habitat and has the best natural temperature for the pandas. It is an excellent place for people who want to see active panda cubs with fewer crowds. Besides the pandas, it is possible to photograph Eurasian Hoopoe, Red-billed Blue Magpie, and so on. The Wolong Giant Panda Habitat Reserve around this area is one of the most important giant panda habitats in China.


Jiuzhaigou National Park (Jiuzhaigou Valley)
Jiuzhaigou National Park was included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. If there are “fairylands” in the world, Jiuzhaigou must be one of them. Stretching over 72,000 hectares in the northern part of Sichuan Province, the Jiuzhaigou reaches a height of 2,200m to more than 4,800m, thus comprising a series of diverse forest ecosystems. Here lives about 220 bird species as well as some endangered animals and plant species, including the Giant Panda, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Sichuan Takin, and numerous orchids and rhododendrons. Its superb landscapes are particularly interesting for its series of narrow conic karst landforms and spectacular waterfalls.
 

Huanglong National Park
Huanglong National Park sets within Minshan mountains in Songpan County, with lush green forests surrounding the unique limestone rock formations which are internationally renowned as being one of the world’s largest, undamaged karst landscapes. Huanglong means "Yellow Dragon" which got its name for its special geographical features. With a bird-eye view, the Huanglong National Park looks like a big golden dragon arching across the valley, winding its way between the snow-capped mountain peaks. Huanglong is famous for its "Four Wonders", the colorful pool, snow mountain, canyon, and forest. In 1992, it was listed on the World Natural Heritage List.

Pingwu Bao'en Temple
Known as the small "Forbidden City", Baoen Temple was built by a local landlord as his palace that could have the similar beauty and grandeur of the Forbidden City. He turned it into a temple in a hurry when he heard the investigation officer sent by the emperor was on the way. All buildings are in the axis-symmetric arrangement and completely imitates the layout design of the Beijing one. The temple is built with all precious Phoebe trees, with a grand scale, harmonious layout, and exquisite architectural design with strong characteristics. It is the only one in China and is praised as a "rare relic structure in the early Ming Dynasty" by Chinese and foreign architecture experts.

 

Tangjiahe Nature Reserve
Located in Minshan Mountains, Tangjiahe Nature Reserve is one of the first reserves set up to protect giant pandas, their companion animals and the whole habitat where they live. In the depth of those rugged mountains, we can find world-class attractions, colorful indigenous people, elusive endemic birds, a great variety of mammals, insects, amphibians, and plants. Though it is not easy to spot a giant panda in the wild, the rewards from paying a visit to this panda habitat are extremely high. With the umbrella protection of Giant Panda, its companion animals like Asiatic Black Bear, Golden Pheasant, Chinese Goral, Sichuan Takin, Temminck's Tragopan, etc. are all striving here.

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 Tangjiahe Nature Reserve 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. What are the cultures can we expect to encounter on this tour?

As we move into the western and northern reaches of Sichuan, we are certain to be surprised by the sudden shift in the local cultural aesthetic. The Tibetan people in Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong regions maintain their unique cultural traditions, the mysterious primitive religion, the complicated architectural style, the costumes style, and the enthusiastic festivals. Besides, we will have a chance to appreciate different cultures of Qiang people, Hui Muslim, and Han.

4. 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!
