Activities: Arrive early to see the pandas at their most active -- feeding time! Walk through the lush bamboo groves and visit the panda enclosures to see giant pandas, red pandas, and adorable baby cubs in the nursery. Your guide will share fascinating facts about panda conservation, their diet, behavior, and the breeding programs that have helped save this beloved species.

Family-Friendly: This is one of the most popular family-friendly activities in Chengdu. Kids and adults alike will be amazed by these gentle giants. The base has paved walkways, making it stroller-accessible.

Meal: After the panda visit, your guide will take you to a local restaurant to enjoy an authentic Sichuan lunch -- expect dishes like Mapo Tofu, twice-cooked pork, and seasonal vegetables.

Place & Transport: After lunch, drive approximately 40 minutes to the Sichuan Cuisine Museum -- the only museum in the world dedicated to a regional cuisine.

Activities: Your guided tour begins at the Classic Collection Hall, where you will learn about the 2,000-year evolution of Sichuan cuisine. Walk through the chili garden and fermented bean paste workshop to understand the soul of Sichuan flavor.

• Kung Pao Chicken -- the iconic spicy-sweet stir-fry

The chef guides you step by step, and the museum provides all ingredients and an English recipe card to take home.

After a rewarding culinary experience, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel, arriving at approximately 5:30 PM.
