    Activities for today: Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Leshan Giant Buddha (by boat)

    07:00 – Our guide will meet you at your hotel. Drive about 40 minutes to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. This base is not only the world’s most important panda research center but also home to more than 100 giant pandas. You will stroll along bamboo-lined paths and observe giant pandas of different ages eating bamboo, playing together, tumbling, and climbing trees. Be sure not to miss the chance to watch female pandas nursing their cubs in the nursery rooms. There is also a very informative Panda Museum where you can learn more scientific facts about giant pandas.


    After spending a few hours with the lovely pandas, stop for lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense).


    Then drive about 2 hours to Leshan to admire the famous Giant Buddha on a boat cruise. The Giant Buddha is a 71-meter-high sculpture carved into a cliff by the river between 713 and 803 during the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the Giant Buddha, there are numerous smaller carvings of various Buddhas along the cliffside path. There are also various temples and shrines, the beautiful Haoshang Bridge, and some lovely small waterfalls.


    After sightseeing, return to Chengdu and drop you off at your hotel.


    Notes:




    1. We suggest starting the tour at 07:00 from your hotel because the pandas are most active between 08:00 and 10:00, playing and eating breakfast in their enclosures and gardens. If you arrive too late, the pandas will be asleep.




    2. Holding a panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is not allowed.
