Chengdu

邛崃天台山景区

Qionglai Tiantai Mountain’s terraced terrain connects streams, waterfalls and forest paths, with water scenery changing according to rainfall and season. Firefly watching is available in some seasons, but sightings are not guaranteed on any date or in any area. Waterside activities shown in historical photographs are not current safety or access guidance; follow on-site rules.

安仁古镇景区

Anren Ancient Town combines western Sichuan lanes, mansion architecture and museums. Places such as the Liu Family Manor and Jianchuan Museum Cluster require plans based on their own rules. Town walks, exhibitions and events do not share one set of access or ticketing conditions. Reference photographs mainly show historical streets and building exteriors, without guaranteeing that pictured transport or shops still operate.

乐山大佛

The seated Maitreya statue excavated in the Tang Dynasty is about 71 meters high. It is the largest cliff-carved statue in China. It sits at the confluence of the Minjiang River, the Qingyi River and the Dadu River. It took about 90 years and three generations of craftsmen to complete it. Core attractions: Lingyun Temple, Buddha Head Observation Deck (1051 snails), and the Jiuqu Plank Road to the Buddha’s feet for a panoramic view. You can also take a boat to see the complete panorama.

成都武侯祠

Wuhou Temple in Chengdu is an important museum that focuses on the history of Shu Han and the cultural memories of the Three Kingdoms. The palaces, mausoleums, inscriptions and later gardens commemorating figures such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang together illustrate how real history, political ideals and folk narratives have been intertwined over a long period of time.

成都大熊猫繁育研究基地

The world's largest giant panda ex-situ conservation and scientific research breeding base houses more than 200 giant pandas in captivity. The core attractions include the cub villa (No. 6) where the internet celebrity "Huahua" lives, the cubs in the Sun/Moon/Star delivery room, the indoor venues in the new area's Panda Valley, as well as the red pandas and golden monkeys. Pandas like coolness and are afraid of heat. They will go indoors when the temperature exceeds 26°C. If you want to see them active, be sure to get there early.

杜甫草堂

Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a garden-style memorial museum located on the site of the former residence of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu in Chengdu. He wrote more than 240 poems while living in Chengdu. The restored huts, traditional courtyards, gardens, inscriptions and literary displays transform the characters' lives into a spatial experience. A visit combined with several representative poems will be more meaningful than just looking at the buildings.

青城山

Qingcheng Mountain is a famous forest-type mountain closely related to the formation and development of Taoism in China. The palaces and mountain paths are distributed among moist woodlands, rather than concentrating on a single building, so the tour includes religious history, traditional architecture and authentic mountain walking; only by allowing time between each node can you appreciate its tranquil character.

蜀风雅韵

Located at the century-old Liyuan Opera Stage in the Qintai Road Cultural Park, the intangible cultural heritage Sichuan Opera performance lasts about 90 minutes and integrates face-changing, spitting fire, rolling lanterns, hand shadow play, and stick puppets. The actors will come off the stage to interact and watch the show while drinking bowls of tea. The atmosphere of old Chengdu is strong.

文殊院

Wenshu Monastery is a Buddhist temple still in use located in the center of Chengdu. It consists of halls, courtyards, gardens and cultural collection spaces. The cascading roofs form a clear contrast with the quiet inner courtyard and outer commercial streets, but first of all, this should be regarded as a real religious place, not a simple ancient setting.

人民公园

A long-established park that has been in existence for more than a century, it is a representative of Chengdu’s slow life. Its core is the century-old Heming Teahouse (founded in 1923) where you can drink tea in a bowl, pick ears, and watch the long-spout pot tea ceremony. It also has an internet celebrity dating corner, a monument to the death of Xinhai Qiubao Road, and an artificial lake for boating, etc.

金沙遗址博物馆

The Jinsha Site Museum protects archaeological remains at their original site in a modern urban area, and unfolds a narrative centered on the sacrifices, craftsmanship and natural environment of the ancient Shu civilization. The relics museum preserves the excavation site, while the exhibition hall puts gold, jade, bronze, and ivory back into their historical context. The combination of the two makes it possible to see more than just isolated treasures.

四川博物院

The Sichuan Museum has established a relatively complete regional historical framework through archaeology, sculpture, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, Tibetan Buddhist art, folk customs and temporary exhibitions. It can connect the remains of ancient Shu, later religious traditions and modern art, and is suitable as a supplement to thematic sites such as Jinsha.

宽窄巷子

Kuanzhai Alley retains a group of courtyard streets and alleys in the original Mancheng area of Chengdu's old city. It has now been transformed into a pedestrian commercial area integrating teahouses, snacks, retail and cultural displays. This is a suitable place to observe the scale of the courtyard and the commercial use of heritage, but one should not mistake the uniformly operated tourist block for an unaltered residential alley.

都江堰水利工程

Dujiangyan is a water conservancy system that was built in the third century BC and is still in operation today. It regulates the Min River and distributes water to the Chengdu Plain. Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou show how to use topography, river channels and seasonal flows instead of traditional dams to achieve water diversion, sand discharge and flood control. The surrounding temples and mountain roads also retain the historical memories of those who controlled the water.
