Overview

On this private journey to the Giant Panda Base and the serene Qingyang Palace, you will experience a seamless blend of natural wonder and ancient Taoist wisdom. Instead of crowded bus tours, we travel in a private saloon, allowing us to arrive at the Panda Base early to see the pandas at their most active and explore the historic halls of Qingyang Palace at a relaxed pace. As a local guide with a medical background and IELTS 6.5 fluency, I provide not only deep cultural insights into Taoist traditions and city history but also ensure a safe, hygienic, and authentic exploration of hidden local backstreets. From exclusive “insider-only” hotpot spots to a meticulously paced itinerary, you will gain an intimate, unforgettable encounter with the true soul of Chengdu that larger tours simply cannot offer.

Start your journey like a local. We will wander through the lush People’s Park, observing the "Matchmaking Corner" and local retirees practising water calligraphy. The highlight is a century-old tea house, Hemming. I will teach you the art of "Gaiwan Tea" and the secrets of tea-water separation. It’s not just a drink; it’s the slow-motion heartbeat of Chengdu.

Chengdu Museum (Old Hall)

Forget the neon lights. I will take you to the hidden alleys near Dongpo Road, where elders play Mahjong and ivy grows over grey brick walls. We will visit a local "wet market" to see exotic spices and seasonal fruits. This is the real, unpolished Chengdu that guidebooks often miss. Perfect for photography and storytelling.

Qingyang Palace (Green Ram Temple)

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Welcome to Qingyang Palace—Chengdu’s oldest and most revered Taoist temple, hailed as “The First Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan.” Nestled in the city’s heart, this sacred site traces back over 2,500 years to the Zhou Dynasty, rooted in the legend of Laozi, the founder of Taoism. Step into a serene world of ancient cypresses, elegant halls, and profound Taoist wisdom. Don’t miss the iconic Eight Trigrams Pavilion, a masterpiece of Qing Dynasty architecture symbolising cosmic harmony. Admire the two bronze Green Rams—believed to be incarnations of the zodiac and bringers of good fortune. More than a temple, it’s a living museum of Chinese spirituality, housing precious Taoist scriptures and ancient relics. Let’s wander its peaceful courtyards, breathe in the faint incense, and uncover the timeless allure of Taoism right here in Chengdu.

Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi)

  • 4h
  • Admission ticket included
As a top conservation base, it dedicates to protecting and breeding rare giant pandas with natural green surroundings. Walk through lush gardens and quiet woods, and watch lovely pandas lazily munch fresh bamboo, play freely and rest peacefully. You will also see delicate red pandas and fluffy baby cubs, full of warm and healing charm. This wonderful sanctuary shows China’s efforts in wildlife protection. Let’s slow down, embrace pure natural joy, and meet these gentle, lovely furry stars up close.
