Protect the panda morning
Reserve the correct panda campus first and arrive early, then keep the evening relaxed instead of stacking another distant attraction.
Build the center by neighborhood
Connect Wuhou Shrine with Jinli, and People’s Park with Kuanzhai Alley, so tea and culture replace repeated cross-city journeys.
Give day trips a real day
Dujiangyan, Mount Qingcheng and Leshan involve rail, local transfers and separate tickets. Choose the one that matches your interests and energy.
Book these first
Reserve the panda base and fixed day trips first.
Chengdu’s lanes and parks stay flexible, but panda entry, major museums and outlying attractions can use dated real-name tickets. Lock those before organizing food and teahouse time.
