Private One-Day Tour: Chengdu Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha

Highlights

Ablauf

1. Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup and a relaxing transfer to the renowned Panda Breeding and Research Center. Once roaming across vast parts of Asia, giant pandas are now critically endangered, with the most recent survey estimating only 1,864 remaining in the wild—80% of them living in the mountainous regions of Sichuan. At the center, you'll have the chance to see these beloved creatures during their most active time: mealtime. Pandas can eat for up to 14 hours a day, so with luck, you’ll witness them happily munching on bamboo. If not, you’ll likely catch them enjoying their second favorite activity—napping! Established over 30 years ago, the center is home to more than 80 giant and red pandas and plays a vital role in the protection and conservation of these rare animals.

2. Afterwards, we’ll take a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive to the awe-inspiring Leshan Giant Buddha—the largest and tallest stone-carved Buddha in the world. Carved into the cliffside over 1,300 years ago, this monumental statue was originally built to calm the turbulent waters and protect passing boats. Today, it draws countless visitors eager to marvel at its scale and serenity. Once there, you can choose to hike to the top of the mountain for an up-close view or hop on a river cruise for a stunning panoramic perspective.
