Trip to Chengdu, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 When we visited Chengdu, we instantly fell in love with its blend of ancient culture, modern cityscapes, and adorable pandas 🐼 Whether you’re into wildlife photography, historical landmarks, or vibrant street scenes, this city has endless photo opportunities 📸 Our first stop was the Giant Panda Breeding Center, where we had the chance to photograph 📸 playful pandas munching on bamboo and climbing trees. The best time to visit is in the morning ☀️ when the pandas are most active. We recommend using a zoom lens to capture close-up shots of these adorable creatures in their natural habitat 🐼 📍1375 Panda Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China We also explored Wuhou Shrine, a historical site dedicated to Zhuge Liang. The red walls, ancient calligraphy, and traditional gardens 🌺 make for fantastic photos. Just next door, Jinli Ancient Street is a must-visit for its colorful lanterns, old-style architecture, and lively atmosphere. The best shots are in the evening, when the lanterns light up, creating a magical glow ✨ 📍231 Wuhouci Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China We then visited People’s Park, a great place to capture the relaxed lifestyle of Chengdu locals. From traditional tea 🍵 houses and calligraphy artists to people playing mahjong, this park is perfect for candid photography 📸 We recommend visiting in the afternoon, when the park is full of life. 📍9 Citang Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China For a breathtaking cityscape, we headed to Anshun Bridge, one of Chengdu’s most famous landmarks. The best time for photos 📸 is after sunset, when the bridge is illuminated and reflects beautifully on the Jin River. If you love long-exposure shots, this is the perfect place to capture the lights and reflections ✨ 📍Jinjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China To end our journey, we took a short trip to Mount Qingcheng, a UNESCO-listed site filled with ancient Taoist temples, misty forests, and scenic hiking trails ⛰️ The best photo spot is at the Shangqing Temple, where you can capture the temple rooftops peeking through the mist. We recommend visiting in the early morning ✨ for the most atmospheric shots. 📍Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan, Chengdu, Sichuan, China Chengdu’s mix of nature, history, and city life makes it a dream destination for photography lovers 🙌🙌🙌 #discoverchina #vacation #travel
