Your tour starts at 8am, when your guide and driver pick you up at the lobby of your hotel. You will first visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda, as the pandas are very active in the morning. There you will see lovely furry giant pandas of all ages eating and playing with each other. You will also have a chance to see the very cute baby pandas, as well as documents and pictures showing how these little pink mouse-size animals grow into giant white and black chubby pandas of over 220 lbs (100kg). While at the base, you can also see red pandas and swans.
You will then proceed to Broad and Narrow Alleys, one of the three cultural reserves in Chengdu. The Broad and Narrow Alleys were once old residential areas during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Now, most of the houses have been restored and turned into restaurants, souvenir stores, bars, art galleries, and tea houses. You will have time for lunch at one of the nice restaurants (own expense), and your guide will be very glad to give you some advice.
After lunch, your day trip continues with a visit to the famous Jinsha Site Museum, which was the site of the ancient Shu (ancient name for Sichuan) Kingdom between 12B.C. and 7A.D. It is famous for the mysterious Shu Culture and unique bronze civilization. In the museum you will see many precious ivory, gold and jade products which are thousands of years old. The most famous item is the Gold Foil of Sun and Immortal Bird, which has many stories and legends about the patterns on it. Follow your guide and listen carefully to the interesting stories. You can also see many everyday products made of stone, pottery, bronze and ivory, from which you will learn the daily life of people of 3,000 years ago.
From there, you will be returned to your hotel where your tour concludes.
