Mest populära attraktioner i 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

TuristattraktionResearch InstituteNon Profit OrganizationAssociation Or OrganizationIntressant plats

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.

Snabba fakta: Over 100 jättepandor bor här varje dag, från nyfödda rosa ungar till vuxna pandor. Detta är också världens största forskningsinstitution för artificiell uppfödning av jättepandor, och man har redan framgångsrikt fött upp över 300 jättepandor.

Höjdpunkter: Tidig morgon är den magiskaste stunden här. Flera månader gamla pandor gör ljud som liknar en valps gnällande i sina kuvöser, och skötarna genomför en kollektiv matningsceremoni i "pandans förskola". Att se dussintals lurviga pandabarn stå på rad och dricka mjölk är en lyckokänsla som får en att smälta.

MuseumTuristattraktionIntressant platsEtablering

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.

Snabba fakta: 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.

Höjdpunkter: 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

NationalparkParkIntressant platsEtablering

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.

Snabba fakta: Varje år besöker över två miljoner turister denna stilla trädgård som hyllar poesins helgon. Trädgården har över 800 par av skriftdukar och mer än 150 stenstelor, vilket utgör Kinas mest koncentrerade skogsområde med Du Fu-inspirerad kalligrafi.

Höjdpunkter: I lotusdammen framför halmtakshyddan lever flera tiotal sköldpaddor som samlats in från gamla Chengdu. De har bott här i över tjugo år och lokalbefolkningen kallar dem "poesins helgons väktare". Varje år den tredje dagen i tredje månmånaden ställer trädgården fram skrivdon så att besökare kan kopiera Du Fus dikter framför hyddan. Papper och bläck är helt gratis.

Mount Qingcheng

Mountain PeakNaturlig sevärdhetEtablering

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.

Snabba fakta: Mount Qingcheng is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain is dotted with Taoist temples and thrives on incense offerings, while the back mountain is more secluded and pristine. It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese Taoism, with 36 Taoist temples remaining on the mountain, originally built during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Höjdpunkter: In the morning mist in front of Laojun Pavilion, you can glimpse the white-robed figures of Taoist priests practicing tai chi, appearing and disappearing as if from a thousand years ago. Even more delightful is the sound of the stream in the Five Dragon Ravine on the back mountain, interwoven with bird calls. Along the way, you might even encounter wild macaques in the mountains, creating a scene that rivals any martial arts novel.

Leshan Giant Buddha

5. Leshan Giant Buddha

4.6 (2,576)
Kulturellt landmärkeTuristattraktionIntressant platsEtablering

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.

Snabba fakta: Denna 71 meter höga klipprelief ligger där tre floder möts, högre än ett 20-våningshus och dess fotrygg är lika stor som två basketplaner. Hela Buddha-statyn höggs under 90 år, utförd av tre generationer hantverkare, och den hade en gång ett 13 våningar högt skyddande paviljongbyggnad som skyddade den från vind och regn.

Höjdpunkter: Buddha genomgick en 20 år lång restaurering där hantverkare upptäckte över tusen Tangdynastins originaltegelstenar på dess huvud. Ännu mer imponerande är att Buddhas öron och hår döljer ett hemligt dräneringssystem, smart designat av Tangdynastins hantverkare, som låter denna enorma figur sitta orubblig i tusentals år.

Sanxingdui Museum

Art MuseumTuristattraktionMuseumIntressant platsEtablering

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.

Snabba fakta: Over a thousand bronze masks, sacred trees, and ivory artifacts were unearthed from two sacrificial pits in 1986, each one uniquely shaped and completely unlike Central Plains bronzeware. Archaeologists have yet to find any written records, and which ancient kingdom these relics belonged to and why they were buried remain unsolved mysteries.

Höjdpunkter: The bronze sacred tree stands 3.96 meters tall, divided into three tiers of branches, with nine divine birds perched on each tier and a auspicious beast standing at the very top. The entire tree reaches from the floor to the ceiling of the exhibition hall. The most bizarre are the protruding-eye masks, with eyeballs bulging outward as much as 16 centimeters, looking just like alien figures, making every visitor standing before them gasp involuntarily.

People's Park

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.

Snabba fakta: En central oas på över 70 mu som varje dag lockar tiotusentals invånare att dricka te, dansa och spela mahjong. Parkens hundraåriga gingkoskog lyser gyllene varje höst och är Chengdu-bornas mest folkliga rekreationsparadis.

Höjdpunkter: I parkens djup ligger Heming Tehus, som varit i drift sedan 1923. Bambustolar, kopparkanna och tekopp med lock. En kopp kostar bara ett tiotal yuan och ingen jagar bort dig om du sitter hela dagen. Varje söndag förmiddag hålls engelskpratstund och dejtinghörna samtidigt. En äldre man med grått hår som pratar flytande engelska med utländska studenter. Kanske bara här i hela Kina du kan se det.
