5 days in Chengdu Itinerary

The home of giant pandas for more than two million years, Chengdu's vast human history cowers in comparison to the natural heritage of the area.

Step out of Chengdu with an excursion to Dujiangyan Irrigation System in Dujiangyan--about 1h 20 min away. Spend the 1st (Thu) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi), don't miss a visit to Tianfu Square, get engrossed in the history at Wuhou Memorial Temple, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Jinli Pedestrian Street.

In September, daytime highs in Chengdu are 30°C, while nighttime lows are 23°C.
