Dujiangyan Panda Park
Sichuan · China
In this option, you can visit the much less crowded panda base at Dujiangyan. There is a panda base in Chengdu downtown, however, it is also the most crowded panda base as it is the closed one from Chengdu city center. You normally need to wait hours no matter how early you leave from your hotel. There are always hundreds of Chinese tourists are earlier than you(someone reach the pandas at 6:30 am to wait for the opening at 7:30 am). On the other hand, Dujiangyan is cooler than Chengdu downtown as it is at a higher mountain. You know, pandas are more active in the cooler weather. So, you can see the more active pandas in Dujiangyan panda base but with much less crowds.
