Who travels to a city because of a song?

Inspired by a song, I yearned to visit a city. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of the song "Chengdu," but it somehow became my obsession to visit the city. 1️⃣ Itinerary ✅ Destination Selection: Chengdu not only boasts abundant attractions within the city but also offers excellent choices nearby, such as Sanxingdui and Dujiangyan. ✅ Advance Booking: Book tickets in advance for popular attractions like Dujiangyan and Sanxingdui. Hiring a guide is recommended for a deeper understanding of their historical and cultural significance. ✅ Optimal Timing: Kuanzhai Alley is best explored in the morning, while Jinli is more vibrant at night, offering a better experience of the evening atmosphere. ✅ Avoid Budget Tour Traps: While budget tours may seem appealing due to their low cost, they often come with a subpar travel experience. For family trips with children, consider family-friendly tours or customized tours to ensure a quality travel experience. 2️⃣ Day 1: Arrival in Chengdu Upon arrival in Chengdu, check in to your hotel. Afterward, take your child to explore Chunxi Road and Kuanzhai Alley, savoring local delicacies like the Three Cannons. Admire the adorable panda sculptures in Taikoo Li. 3️⃣ Day 2: Sanxingdui - Bronze Art Workshop In the morning, explore the world-renowned Sanxingdui civilization, marveling at exhibits like the Standing Figure and the Sacred Tree. Hiring a guide will make the trip even more engaging. In the afternoon, head to the Bronze Art Workshop for a simulated archaeological dig. Create bronzeware and ancient Shu jade, and earn an archaeology certificate. 4️⃣ Day 3: Dujiangyan Panda Base - Dujiangyan Irrigation System In the morning, visit the Dujiangyan Panda Base to observe the adorable giant pandas and playful red pandas. In the afternoon, explore the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, learning how ancient people harnessed natural topography to construct a dam that remains in use to this day. In the evening, enjoy a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance in Chengdu, introducing your child to the charm of traditional art. 5️⃣ Day 4: Du Fu Thatched Cottage - Sanhe Classic Car Museum Parents can enjoy free time, shopping or savoring tea and local Chengdu cuisine. Meanwhile, children can visit the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and the Sanhe Classic Car Museum for an educational experience in history and culture. 6️⃣ Day 5: Chengdu Museum of Natural History - Departure Visit the Chengdu Museum of Natural History to view Asia's largest dinosaur fossil and other biological specimens. This museum is an excellent place for children to learn about biology, natural history, and culture. Finally, prepare for your departure, concluding this enriching family trip to Chengdu. This detailed Chengdu travel guide aims to assist you in planning your trip. We wish you and your family a wonderful time!
