Beliebteste Attraktionen in Chengdu, China

When it comes to recommendations for tourist attractions in Chengdu, the most appealing is undoubtedly the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, where over 80 giant pandas live. The morning feeding time is the liveliest. Afterwards, you can stroll through Kuanzhai Alley (Wide and Narrow Alley). This ancient street from the Qing Dynasty, made up of Wide Alley, Narrow Alley, and Well Alley, retains the courtyard lifestyle of old Chengdu. Wuhou Shrine commemorates Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of the Three Kingdoms period. Inside the shrine, ancient cypress trees touch the sky, giving a strong sense of history. These three attractions encompass Chengdu's most essential cultural and natural experiences.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

TouristenattraktionResearch InstituteNon Profit OrganizationAssociation Or OrganizationSehenswürdigkeit

The ultimate experience of observing national treasures up close. Watching round pandas munch on bamboo can heal a whole day's fatigue. Strolling along the bamboo-lined paths, from the adorable cubs to the leisurely eating adults, every moment is worth capturing.

Schnelle Fakten: Jeden Tag leben hier über 100 Große Pandas, von neugeborenen rosa Jungtieren bis zu erwachsenen Pandas. Es ist auch die größte Einrichtung zur künstlichen Aufzucht und Forschung von Großen Pandas weltweit, in der bereits über 300 Pandas erfolgreich gezüchtet wurden.

Highlights: Der frühe Morgen ist hier der magischste Moment. Einige Monate alte Panda-Jungtiere geben in ihren Aufzuchtboxen winselnde Geräusche von sich, ähnlich wie kleine Hunde, und die Pfleger führen die gemeinsame Milchfütterungszeremonie des "Panda-Kindergartens" durch. Mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, wie ein Dutzend flauschiger Panda-Babys in einer Reihe Milch trinken, ist ein Glücksgefühl, das einen einfach dahinschmelzen lässt.

MuseumTouristenattraktionSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

Step into the legendary world of the Three Kingdoms heroes and feel the spiritual power of Zhuge Liang's "utter devotion." Walk through the red walls and ancient cypress trees, and converse with a thousand years of history amid the swirling incense smoke.

Schnelle Fakten: Inside the temple complex covering 37,000 square meters, you will find the "Three Perfections Stele" with inscriptions written by Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Pei Du and calligraphy by the renowned calligrapher Liu Gongchuo. Over 2,000 ancient cypress trees surround the halls with red walls and gray tiles, among which one is said to have been planted personally by Zhuge Liang, with a tree age of over 1,700 years.

Highlights: On the eaves of the main hall are 47 ceramic figurines of characters from the Three Kingdoms period, each with a different expression and demeanor. On rainy days, the glaze takes on a bluish-green sheen. What is even more special is that the scent of sandalwood from the incense burner blends with the fresh fragrance of the ancient cypress trees, enveloping the entire courtyard in a tranquil feeling that transcends a thousand years.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage

NationalparkParkSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

Walk into the original thatched cottage where the Poet Sage took refuge in Chengdu, and breathe in the scent of bamboo and earth. Sip a cup of covered-bowl tea in the bamboo-shaded courtyard, and listen to locals recite Du Fu's poems in the Sichuan dialect.

Schnelle Fakten: Over two million visitors come each year to this tranquil garden dedicated to the Poet Saint. Inside the garden, more than 800 couplets and over 150 stone tablets form the most concentrated collection of Du Fu-themed calligraphy steles in China.

Highlights: In the lotus pond in front of the thatched cottage live dozens of turtles collected from the old city districts of Chengdu. They have been living here for over twenty years, and the locals call them the "Poet Saint's Guardians." Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the garden sets out the four treasures of the study, allowing visitors to copy Du Fu's poems in front of the thatched cottage, with paper and ink provided free of charge.

Mount Qingcheng

4.5 (49)
Mountain PeakNatürliche BesonderheitEinrichtung

Want to feel the quiet power of Taoist culture in the lush mountain forest? Climb the stone steps upward. Ancient temples with morning bells, clear springs with birdsong. Every step of the way offers scenery that makes you forget the city's hustle and bustle.

Schnelle Fakten: Der Qingcheng-Berg besteht aus dem Vorder- und dem Hinterberg. Der Vorderberg ist gesäumt von daoistischen Tempeln mit reichlich Räucheropfern, während der Hinterberg ursprünglicher und stiller ist. Hier liegt eine der Geburtsstätten des daoistischen Glaubens in China. Insgesamt sind auf dem Berg 36 daoistische Tempel erhalten, die in der Östlichen Han-Dynastie erbaut wurden.

Highlights: Im Morgennebel vor der Laojun-Halle kann man die weißen Gestalten der daoistischen Mönche beim Tai-Chi-Üben sehen, die wie aus einer tausend Jahre alten Zeit erscheinen. Noch schöner ist der Bach Wulonggou im Hinterberg, wo das Rauschen des Wassers und der Vogelgesang miteinander verschmelzen. Unterwegs kann man zudem wilden Bergmakaken begegnen, was der Atmosphäre eines Wuxia-Romans in nichts nachsteht.

Leshan Giant Buddha

Kulturelles WahrzeichenTouristenattraktionSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

See the world's largest stone Buddha with your own eyes and marvel at the unparalleled craftsmanship of Tang Dynasty artisans. Walk down the nine-turn plank path from the Buddha's head to its feet, and listen to the thousand-year echo at the confluence of three rivers.

Schnelle Fakten: This 71-meter-high cliff-side statue sits at the confluence of three rivers, standing taller than a 20-story building. The top of its foot alone is as large as two basketball courts. The carving of the giant Buddha took 90 years, with three generations of artisans working in succession. A 13-story pavilion was once built over it to protect it from wind and rain.

Highlights: The Giant Buddha once underwent a 20-year restoration project, during which craftsmen discovered over a thousand original Tang Dynasty bricks on its head. Even more astonishing, hidden inside the Buddha's ears and hair is a concealed drainage system, ingeniously designed by Tang Dynasty artisans, allowing this colossal statue to remain seated majestically through over a thousand years of wind and rain.

Sanxingdui Museum

Art MuseumTouristenattraktionMuseumSehenswürdigkeitEinrichtung

Step into a mysterious ancient kingdom never recorded in history, and witness a bronze civilization beyond imagination from 3,000 years ago. A three-meter-tall bronze sacred tree, protruding cross-eyed masks. Every artifact reshapes your understanding of Chinese civilization.

Schnelle Fakten: Über tausend Bronzemasken, heilige Bäume und Elfenbeinstücke wurden 1986 in zwei Opfergruben ans Licht gebracht, jedes mit seltsamen Formen, die völlig anders sind als die Bronzen der Zentralebene. Archäologen haben bis heute keine Schriftzeugnisse gefunden. Welchem alten Reich diese Artefakte angehören und warum sie begraben wurden, bleibt ein ungelöstes Rätsel.

Highlights: Der heilige Bronzebaum ist 3,96 Meter hoch, hat drei Ebenen von Ästen, auf jeder sitzen neun heilige Vögel, und an der Spitze steht ein glückbringendes Tier. Der gesamte Baum reicht im Ausstellungsraum vom Boden bis zur Decke. Am seltsamsten sind die Masken mit hervorstehenden Augen, deren Augäpfel bis zu 16 Zentimeter herausragen und wie außerirdische Wesen aussehen. Jeder Besucher, der davor steht, kann nicht anders, als scharf nach Luft zu schnappen.

Want to instantly slip into the slow life of old Chengdu? Come here to drink tea, get your ears cleaned, and watch passersby daydream. Half a day passes in the blink of an eye.

Schnelle Fakten: Die über 70 Mu große Oase im Stadtzentrum zieht täglich Zehntausende von Bürgern an, die hier Tee trinken, tanzen und Mahjong spielen. Der hundertjährige Ginkgowald im Park leuchtet jeden Herbst in Gold und ist für die Menschen in Chengdu das bodenständigste Erholungsparadies.

Highlights: Das Heming-Teehaus im hinteren Teil des Parks ist seit 1923 geöffnet. Bambusstühle, kupferne Teekannen und Gaiwan-Tee kosten nur etwa ein Dutzend Yuan, und man kann den ganzen Tag dort sitzen, ohne dass einen jemand wegschickt. Jeden Sonntagvormittag finden gleichzeitig der English Corner und der Heiratsmarkt statt. Die Szene, in der ein älterer Herr mit weißem Haar fließend Englisch mit ausländischen Studenten spricht, ist vielleicht nur hier in ganz China zu sehen.
