A trip to Chengdu is incomplete without encountering its most famous residents - the giant pandas. These delightful creatures are most active in the early morning, making it ideal to arrive at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding around 8:30 am to catch them enjoying breakfast or engaging in playful antics.

After a satisfying lunch, your next destination will be the Sanxingdui Museum, dedicated exclusively to the lost civilization of the Shu Kingdom (221 - 263). Here, you'll gain a profound insight into Chinese history through a remarkable collection of unearthed relics dating back 4,500 years. Highlights include numerous striking bronzes and gold, pottery, and jade artifacts. Don't miss the towering 2.62- meter standing statue, the expansive 1.38-meter-wide bronze mask, and the impressive 3.95-meter-high bronze tree, each offering a captivating glimpse into ancient times.

Optional: you may like to watch a Sichuan opera in Shu Feng Ya Yun Sichuan Opera this evening, during which you will be amazed at different facial make-ups that are changed fast and mysteriously.
