Day07 Chengdu
Playful pandas
Your private panda tour begins with Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, the highlight of this route. Panda is regarded as the living fossil and national treasure of China, for they are endangered species. We will drive to the base in the early morning, so that you can reach there at the pandas' most exciting time, breakfast feeding moment.

In the base, there are enclosures for pandas in different ages, including cubs, sub-adult and adult pandas. Most adult pandas are sleepy and languid, lying in the mats, while the cubs and sub-adult pandas are very active, playing and eating all the time in their houses. There are also pandas breeding outdoors. Under the warm sunshine, they are sitting, lying, playing and scrambling in the lawn. You will be teased by their funny behaviors. Besides, you can visit the nursery houses, where the newly born panda babies stay. Most of them are sleeping or at suck, so cute and alive. Apart from that, you can also drop by the Giant Panda Museum to get an overview of their origin, or go to the panda kitchen to figure out what panda feeds on. The panda cinema will show you more interesting stories of them.

Lunch is on your own arrangement, and our guide will offer you suggestions. After lunch, we will continue the journey to Broad and Narrow Alleys. The commercial street used to be the local people's residence, and developed into a cultural quarter. There are many tea houses, fancy restaurants, craft shops and pubs. After a short linger in the street, we are going to Jinsha Site Museum to sense the civilization and history of Sichuan Province.
