Tips & advice 1. Wear non-slip flat shoes! The flower fields have soft soil, high heels easily sink, light-colored clothes look better in photos, bring a straw hat and flower basket props; 2. Avoid renting expensive mobility scooters (50 RMB/hour), the park is not large, you can explore it in 3 hours on foot, walking and taking photos is more enjoyable; 3. Visit during off-peak times: weekends are crowded, it’s recommended to enter on weekdays or before 9:00 AM to avoid photo congestion; 4. Combined trip recommendation: Only 3 km from the Giant Panda Base, you can plan a “flower viewing + panda watching” day trip to efficiently explore the suburbs.
