Explore Dujiangyan Panda Valley – A More Natural Panda Experience
Visit Dujiangyan Panda Valley (China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda), a panda research and conservation area located in the beautiful mountains of Dujiangyan.
Unlike the larger urban panda bases in Chengdu, Panda Valley features a more natural environment with spacious outdoor areas, bamboo forests, and mountain surroundings, offering visitors a quieter and closer look at pandas' daily lives.

Optional Visit to Dujiangyan Irrigation System – Ancient Wisdom Meets Natural Landscapes
In the afternoon, continue your journey to the world-famous Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of ancient China's greatest engineering achievements.
Built over 2,000 years ago, this remarkable water project still functions today, demonstrating the wisdom of working with nature rather than against it.
During your visit, explore the remarkable engineering wisdom of Dujiangyan by discovering its three key components: Yuzui (Fish Mouth), where ancient engineers used the natural flow of the river to divide water; Feishayan (Flying Sand Weir), a unique flood control system that helps regulate water levels; and Baopingkou (Bottle-Neck Channel), which distributes water to support agriculture. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and historic sites, Dujiangyan offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, ancient ingenuity, and cultural heritage.
Return to Chengdu by High-Speed Train
