Where Pandatours
Sichuan ? or Dujiangyan?
Pandatours generally refers to tours that include visits to see the giant pandas, and the main locations for this in Sichuan Province are Chengdu and the surrounding areas, including Dujiangyan.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- Chengdu: Most pandatours are based in Chengdu, visiting the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. This is the most convenient location if you are staying in the city and want a half-day or full-day visit.
- Dujiangyan: Located about 60 km from Chengdu, some tours include Dujiangyan as a secondary stop along with pandas at nearby facilities, or as a cultural/historical extension. Dujiangyan itself is famous for the ancient irrigation system and is more for sightseeing than panda viewing.
In summary, if your primary goal is to see pandas, focus on Chengdu. If you want a combined cultural experience with pandas, some tours may take you to Dujiangyan as well.
