Chengdu Dujiangyan Day Tour: Panda & Ancient Irrigation

Arrival at Dujiangyan Panda Valley, a research and rewilding base affiliated with Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Unlike the busier downtown facility, Panda Valley is set in a forested hillside environment with far fewer crowds. Your guide will explain the science of panda conservation and rewilding efforts as you observe the pandas in a more natural setting.

For families with children: a dedicated child-friendly panda interpretation session can be arranged to make the experience more engaging for young visitors

Lunch is at a well-regarded local restaurant. Chengdu cuisine is famously bold and spicy, but your guide will communicate your heat preference in advance and help you order dishes that suit your palate — from mild aromatic options to the full numbing Sichuan experience if you're ready for it. Vegetarian and other dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in 256 BCE and remains operational today. Your guide will walk you through the three key structures — Fish Mouth, Flying Sand Weir, and Bottle Neck — explaining how this dam-free system controls floodwater and irrigates over 500,000 hectares of farmland in the Chengdu Plain.

*Electric sightseeing shuttles are available within the park and included in the tour price.*

If time permits, you may take a leisurely stroll along Nanqiao Bridge or through the old town district next to the Dujiangyan Scenic Area to soak up the atmosphere of local life. Nanqiao Bridge is a classical-style covered bridge featuring exquisite painted decorations, with the Min River flowing beneath it.
