[2025 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Chengdu Natural History Museum (Updated May)

If you are coming to Chengdu for a trip, save this three-day, two-night itinerary. In this city full of leisure and relaxation, slow down and experience the city's vibrant atmosphere and romantic ambiance. 📝Transportation 🛩️: Tianfu Airport or Shuangliu Airport If possible, choose Shuangliu Airport. It's very close to the city center, about 20 minutes away. From Tianfu Airport, you can take the subway directly to South Railway Station subway station and then take a taxi. Avoid taxis within Chengdu city! 🚈: Chengdu's subway system is very comprehensive and convenient. Taking a taxi can be really slow!!! Day1️⃣ Chunxi Road subway station Take photos with the IFS climbing panda — stroll around Taikoo Li to experience Chengdu's fashionable and bustling side — visit Chunxi Road, Chengdu's landmark commercial street — experience the local atmosphere of old Chengdu at Jiaotong Alley. Here you can try authentic Chengdu hot pot. This place is crowded every night, with a lively atmosphere and a variety of small dishes. It's a nostalgic taste of childhood. After dinner, experience Chengdu's nightlife! Wangping Street — Dongmen Bridge — Tianxianqiao South Road — Jiuyanqiao You can take a boat or walk to enjoy the romantic night view of Jinjiang River. Day2️⃣ Visit the giant panda Hua Hua — Du Fu Thatched Cottage (you can also see wintersweet flowers recently) — take a quick look at Kuanzhai Alley (don't buy anything) — relax with a cup of covered bowl tea at People's Park — experience Chengdu's artistic vibe at Citang Street and Binsheng Street — enjoy Chengdu snacks at Kuixinglou Street — visit Jinli Ancient Street at night for a more beautiful view than during the day. Day3️⃣ Chengdu's east suburbs are where the young and trendy gather — Yulin neighborhood has many interesting small shops, including cafes, cultural and creative stores, flower shops, and markets — take photos of the light show at the Twin Towers. If you have more time, you can also spend a day in Dujiangyan. Take a high-speed train from Xipu directly to Lidui Park in the morning. There are also the Tianfu Museum of Humanistic Art, Sanxingdui Museum, Chengdu Museum of Natural History, and Sichuan Science and Technology Museum, which are great for kids.

I had a dinner with old classmates and found this Jianghu restaurant. The fish is really big and delicious😋 The restaurant's environment is in the style of community camping, with thatched houses and camping tents, which is very special. The full smell of charcoal barbecue makes people feel very relaxed. 🍢Bandit Fish The fish is roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the meat fresh and firm, without any fishy smell. Paired with the secret sauce, it is fragrant but not spicy, and really delicious! 🥩Raw beef The fresh beef slices are wrapped with coriander and chili peppers, which are tender, spicy and refreshing, and the coriander is so addictive. It is really delicious and appetizing. Have some toasted bread, which is fragrant and soft, and can relieve the spiciness and greasiness. The combination of "Zui Sanxian" and barbecue is also delicious~ Because of this store, I fell in love with fish! I will come to eat with my old classmates next time😋 #

|This museum is worth a visit. It was hard to get a ticket even on weekdays when it opened two years ago. I finally had time to visit this year. 💞 🎈: The main entrance is at Exit B of Shilidian Metro Station. 🎟️: CNY 20 online reservation There are six exhibition halls in total, two on each floor. I personally like the Mineral Resources Exhibition on the first floor (p3-p5) and the Colorful Life Hall on the third floor (p10-p17). The crystal lovers will be amazed by the mineral resources exhibition, and the biological and environmental models in the Colorful Life Hall are very realistic and beautiful. 🌸 The second floor is mainly about dinosaurs. I didn't stay long because I don't know much about dinosaurs. There are many kinds of dinosaurs from Sichuan and Chongqing. I was amazed by the exhibition. 🍁 Latest stamp guide: 9 stamps in the cultural and creative store on the first floor, 6 stamps in the cultural and creative store on the second floor, and 7 stamps in the cultural and creative store at the entrance of the cinema on the second floor. Some stamps have a lot of ink, so be careful not to press too hard, or the stamp will be smudged. The stamps here are much better than those in Chengdu Museum. 😃 It may take 2-3 hours to visit the museum. There are many students on weekdays, and you can listen to the explanations. For example, the treasure of the museum on P2 (I heard it is worth hundreds of millions, but I don't know if it is true). There may be more children on weekends. There are electronic screens next to many exhibits, which contain a lot of scientific knowledge. It is very convenient for explaining to children or learning by yourself.

Recently, the popularity of the Chengdu Natural History Museum has finally decreased. You can make an online reservation, and there are plenty of tickets available. If you can't make a reservation, you can also use your ID card to swipe in on-site, which is very important. Remember this. Address: No. 88, Shilidian, Chenghua Avenue, Chengdu Transportation: Exit B of Shilidian Station, Metro Line 8 Time: 9:00~17:00 (until 20:00 on weekends, closed on Mondays). There are two free guided tours every day, one at 10 am and the other at 2 pm. Tickets🎟️: Free Small tips: I arrived around 3 pm on a weekend. Since entry stops at 4 pm, there were very few people. With five hours until 8 pm, you can avoid the peak crowd and have a very comfortable visit. The museum is very large, with a total of five floors. The exhibition area is also 17,005 square meters. Each floor is different. A quick tour takes about an hour, but you can spend half a day if you want to savor everything. The cultural and creative store's dolls are very cute, and the 21 stamp collection points will likely attract many stamp enthusiasts. 1. Geological Environment Hall 2. Geological and Mineral Hall 3. Dinosaur Revealed Hall 4. Dragon in Sichuan and Chongqing Hall 5. Colorful Life Hall 6. Origin of Life Hall Starting from the bottom and slowly working your way up, you can see the origins of life, biodiversity, dinosaur collections, minerals, and many biological specimens! Marvel at the charm of nature, experience the historical evolution from ancient times to the present, and even enjoy a 4D cinema hall.

Today I went to the Chengdu Natural History Museum. It was such a wonderful trip! As soon as I walked into the museum, wow, this building is so unique! I heard that this design incorporates the elements of Shushan, Shudao, and Shushui. The exterior wall looks like natural granite, and at night it looks like stars, so beautiful. First came to the Geological Environment Hall. Hey, the structure of the earth is explained very clearly here. Let's just look at it and sigh, it turns out that the earth we live on is so magical. Then I went to the Mineral Resources Hall. All kinds of ores were glittering, which dazzled me. It feels like a treasure house here, and each piece of ore has its own story. Then I went to the Longxing Sichuan and Chongqing Hall. This hall is so high, it must be 11 meters. The dinosaur fossils inside are so domineering, many of which were unearthed in our Sichuan Basin. Looking at these huge dinosaur skeletons, I seemed to have traveled back to ancient times, imagining them walking around domineeringly on this land. The Dinosaur Unveiling Hall is also great, with dinosaur fossils from all over the world. The booth is designed like a geometric mountain, and the dinosaurs look even more majestic when the lights are on. Finally, we went to the Life Origin Hall and the Colorful Life Hall on the third floor. The Life Origin Hall made me understand how life came about. It was not easy to get here from the birth of life to the appearance of mammals. There are various ecosystems in the Colorful Life Hall, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and many insects and vertebrates. The local habitat characteristics of Chengdu are also clearly displayed. This trip to the Chengdu Natural History Museum really opened my eyes and was very rewarding. Next time I will bring my friends here so that they can also experience this wonderful natural world. #亲子好去处 #全球旅行 #成都旅遊攻略

But from 10 o'clock on, there are a lot of people, and there are still a steady stream of people queuing outside the door waiting to enter, so if you want a great position, you must go early! !

When I lived in Chengdu I wanted to visit a dinosaur museum which was in Zigong, a different city in Sichuan province but on my last visit to Chengdu, I found a museum which had the history of dinosaurs and I was so happy. Chengdu Natural History Museum and The Museum of Chengdu University of Technology is located on line 8 Shilidian and it’s amazing. On the 2nd floor of the museum it introduces you to how dinosaurs lived, their types and even get to see how big they were. Its really fascinating. History says most of these dinosaurs were found in Asia and other parts of the world. I definitely would like to go there again. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #wintergetaway Note: Before you go there you will need to book online and choose a date and time to get a ticket which is free.
