Stop running to Changlong! The wildlife parks around Chengdu offer great value for money
Kids love wild animals, and we've never been! This time we went to Bifengxia, and it really felt like a trip well worth it, the kids are clamoring to go again next time!
Here's the ultimate guide!
It's just a 2-hour drive from Chengdu, and you can get up close and personal with loads of wild animals🐧
The best part is, the area is shaded with greenery and bursting with negative oxygen ions!

No need to squeeze with people in Chengdu! This place has fewer people and more pandas
No need to squeeze with people at the Chengdu Panda Base anymore! 🐼 The panda base in Ya'an has very few visitors! You can enjoy the zoo, panda base, and forest canyon all at once... 😆 It's perfect for a weekend nature getaway!

Let me share my itinerary with you all~
👉Day One
(I departed from Chongqing, taking the high-speed train directly to Ya'an)
Ya'an High-speed Train Station - Bifengxia Wildlife Zoo - Stay at a hotel within the scenic area
👉Day Two
Panda Base - Bifengxia Canyon - Return trip
-
🐯Bifengxia Wildlife Zoo
The zoo is much larger than I imagined! The first activity upon entering is feeding the beasts! The staff will prepare 🥩 meat for feeding, and as soon as the feeding cart enters, 🐯 tigers and lions gather around. It was my first time feeding them from such a close distance, really thrilling and fun‼️
After getting off the cart, follow the tour route, and you'll see different animal areas along the way, 👉 alpacas, monkeys, birds, etc., and you can also feed and interact with them.
Before May Day, there will be a 🌸 Spring Friends Meeting at Dachaping Square every weekend and during the May Day holiday where you can check in! You can also collect stamps in your passport and take photos with cute NPCs!

🐼Panda Base
There are really few people at this panda base, and the 🐼 pandas are very lively and active. Princess Xiangxiang, who returned from Japan, is also here, and she is so cute!
Other pandas are also very earnest in their 'work', 🎋 watching pandas eat bamboo can take up a good half of the day!
.
⛰️Bifengxia Canyon
The panda base and the canyon are next to each other. Coming out of the panda base, you'll find the Left Canyon next to it. ⛰️ The entire canyon hiking loop is about 7km, with a high forest coverage rate. It's really relaxing to walk and breathe in the fresh air of nature! 😆

🌸Warm Tips:
1️⃣ For self-driving, directly navigate to Bifengxia Tourist Area in Ya'an City;
If taking the high-speed train, go to Ya'an Station, then take a taxi to Beier Road (the former tourist bus station), and then take a route bus to the scenic area's visitor center
2️⃣ To see pandas, it's recommended to go early in the morning to catch them having breakfast~
3️⃣ For accommodation, you can stay inside the scenic area or in Yucheng District, which is more convenient for visiting

Get up close and personal with wildlife within 2 hours of Chengdu
Zoos are fun, but it's the ones in the mountains that are truly exciting.
Today, I want to recommend a place for hiking and fun.
Stroll through the green wilderness and encounter various wild animals.
Experience the true harmony of man and nature🍃
✔️Hiking ✔️Child-friendly ✔️Cooling off ✔️Recreation

The Bifengxia Scenic Area is divided into:
The Ecological Canyon (which includes the Panda Base) and the Wildlife Park.
-
This time we visited the ✅Wildlife Park.
The circular trail winds up and down through the entire forest.
Along the way, there are all kinds of small animals🐿️
Lions, tigers, sika deer, alpacas, elephants...
You can get close to the small animals.
The kids are so happy.

❤️Tips:
1️⃣It is not recommended to bring a stroller, as there are many stone stair paths.
2️⃣You can bring some food to replenish energy, and have lunch at the amusement center, where the prices are reasonable.
3️⃣It takes 3-4 hours to complete the tour, and you can take the sightseeing car out of the park in the latter half, which will miss some of the indoor small animals, but it saves energy.
