As the hometown of Giant Panda, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding should not be missed when you come to Chengdu! In the morning your private tour guide and driver will be greeting at the hotel, and then you are going to see the lovely creatures. Located in northern suburb of Chengdu, this Panda Base takes us about 40-50 minutes to get there from downtown area. In this park-like base, you are sure to see many pandas at one time that we cannot realize in other places all over the world.

Wave goodbye to the lovely pandas, you will head for Sichuan Cuisine Museum with an one-hour driving. Tourists shall start your Sichuan dish journey from the Classic Collection Hall, have a close look at the kitchen wares over 3000 years ago and get to know the evolution of Sichuan cuisine culture from the period of ancient states of Ba and Shu up till now. Then move to the Raw Material Display area, experience the traditional manufacturing techniques of flipping, sun-burning and dewing to make Pixian chilly bean paste, which is regarded as the soul of Sichuan cuisine.
