Private Day Tour: Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, Jinli Street, Kuanzhai Xiangzi
In the morning, your driver and guide will take you to Chengdu Research base of Giant Pandas. Visit a Panda museum first at the Base where you can learn the origin and habits of the animal before you actually see them. Then see real Pandas at different ages out in the yard, infant baby pandas in an infant area, and visit delivery room of pandas. See the floppy animals’ daily life right next to you and take their photos. Try to say “hi” to adorable panda bears and see if they respond and if you are lucky, they will walk towards you at their typically slow pace.
Departing from the research base, drive to Jinli Street, a commercial street with over 2000 years’ history where you can try local Sichuan food, have bargain shopping, find the arts & crafts in various interesting shops and stalls.
Next stop is Kuanzhai Xiang Zi (means Wide and Narrow Lanes) where you will find cafes, tea houses, restaurants and shops in the vintage style courtyards houses. You can feel the leisure & boutique life style of Chengdu. Make a stop at Panda Post and send some panda-themed cards home if you need.
The tour will finish at approximately 5pm. You will be transferred back to the hotel
