In early morning, meet your guide at your hotel lobby and be transferred to Chengdu Panda Breeding Center, a lovely garden with bamboo forests, swan lake, lush trees that will definitely make your visit memorable. Upon arrival, take the Panda Express to the highlight of the base: Moonlight nursery, where you will see the most adorable panda babies! Admire the panda babies while they drink, eating bamboos, playful fight, climbing trees, and sleep...etc. Then, walk downhill to see some of the super stars - adolescent pandas (teenagers). There are 5 to 7 teenage pandas (about 3 years old) living in the big open enclosure. On the top of the hill sits a panda kindergarten. In addition to giant pandas, you will also see endangered red pandas. They are part of the raccoon family with long tails and beautiful red furs.
After your visit to the panda base, you will be transferred to Chengdu Train Station to catch the high-speed train to Leshan City, which is fast and fun and also presents an opportunity for you to mingle with locals.

It is carved out of a cliff by the confluence of the Min, Dadu and Qingyi rivers. It faces holy Buddhist Mountain, Emei, with the rivers flowing below his feet. It is the largest stone Buddha in the world, and it is by far the tallest pre-modern time statue in the world which was also listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. You will walk downhill along Red Sand Cliff Road to view the phenomenal Leshan Giant Buddha from the bottom and then climb up to the opposite side of the hill. Usually the walk will take around 30 to 40 minutes. Please note that during public holidays or weekends, there might be a long queue.
