Dujiangyan Panda Valley and Water Conservancy Project

Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Chengdu city center, marking the start of your exciting day.

Located in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, Panda Valley is a nature reserve dedicated to panda conservation, research, breeding, and ecotourism. About 1.5 hours’ drive from Chengdu, it is an ideal destination to admire pandas without the crowds of the Chengdu Panda Base, offering a great opportunity to experience the natural beauty of western Sichuan.

With a history of over 2,000 years, Dujiangyan Ancient Town is rich in traditional culture. The town preserves ancient-style streets, temples, and traditional architecture. You can admire Ming and Qing-style buildings, stone bridges, and carvings while tasting authentic Sichuan snacks such as Dandan noodles, Three Cannons, spicy rabbit head, and sweet ice jelly.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dujiangyan is a remarkable 2,000-year-old water conservancy project. It consists of three core parts: Fish Mouth Levee, Feisha Weir, and Baopingkou. Ingeniously using natural terrain for flood diversion and irrigation, it continues to provide water resources and flood protection for the Chengdu Plain.

Within the scenic area, you can enjoy panoramic views from Erwang Temple or cross the Anlan Suspension Bridge to experience the harmony of ancient and modern engineering.

Sichuan opera, a representative of traditional Sichuan performing arts, is a must-see for visitors. The mesmerizing “face-changing” and “fire-breathing” acts, along with the unique singing style, make the Sichuan opera performance at the Furong Guocui Theater an unforgettable cultural experience.
