Days 2-3 – Panda Breeding Research Centre & departure
The following day, you’ll travel to the Panda Research Centre for a close up encounter with these gentle giants. Set in a bamboo-filled park, the pandas live in large enclosures. It’s maintained very responsibly with every care taken for the animals. Your guide will teach you about the breeding habits and heritage of the pandas.
The rest of the day is free for you to amble between traditional teahouses, get lost in cobbled streets and try the famous Sichuan hotpot. In the evening, lanterns reflect a soft red glow on the street, lending the whole city a touch of magic. After two nights in Chengdu, you’ll pack your things and hit the road again.
