09:00: Commence your day tour by meeting your local tour guide in your hotel lobby.

09:20 - 12:00: Visit the world-famous Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center. Seeing the cute pandas playing with each other on the grass, leisurely chewing on bamboo or even playfully chasing their keeper is a lot of fun. There are, in addition, many other rare animals on the verge of extinction housed in the center. Children can learn a lot during this trip.

12:00 - 13:00: Enjoy lunch at a nice local restaurant and taste noted Chengdu food.

13:20 - 15:00: Visit the Wuhou Temple. Wuhou refers to Zhuge Liang, a great strategist during the Three Kingdoms Period. He directed a lot of famous battles against the Wei Nation and helped his lord Liu Bei to build Shu State. According to Chinese customs, after his death, every governor or official that had earned great respect during his/her life would receive  an exclusive temple built in remembrance to them. He and his lord Liu Bei each had a separate temple near to each other. The two temples were later combined into the Wuhou temple, which makes this temple the only one to host two masters.

15:00 - 16:30 Jinli Street is actually adjacent to, and part of the Wuhou Temple, and you will learn a lot about the history, culture and customs of the Three Kingdoms Period.

17:00: Drop off at your Chengdu hotel.




    

Day 2 Giant Buddha, Huanglongxi Ancient Town

07:30: Pick up from hotel and leave for Leshan city.

09:20 - 12:00: Visit the Giant Buddha. Located on the corner of the Min River, Qingyi River and Dadu River, this Buddha is the largest sitting inscribed Buddha in China with height of 71 meters. It was built in Tang Dynasty and took 90 years to complete. It’s quite a masterpiece. You can climb down the narrow wooden stairs to the very bottom of the Buddha and have a close look at its toes and hands. If you want a full view, we suggest you take a local cruise from the other side of the river bank and take some photos.

12:00 - 13:00: Have lunch nearby the Buddha and prepare for the afternoon tour.

14:30 - 16:00: Visit the Huanglongxi Ancient Town. With verdant trees here and there, a flowing river alongside, old-fashioned houses and dark stone paths, your mood cannot but be lifted in such beautiful scenery. You may even witness a movie or TV series being shot.

17:00: Drive back to your Chengdu hotel.
