    There were hardly any queues during the off-season. Parking at parking lot number 6 is the most convenient, as it's within walking distance of the entrance, eliminating the need for a shuttle bus. The path leading out of the east gate is quite long, which isn't very convenient for the elderly.

    The trip to Wawu Mountain far exceeded my expectations! Booking the tickets and sightseeing bus package through Ctrip was very convenient. The tour guide was professional, and the itinerary was well-planned. The "Table Mountain" platform at the summit is vast and magnificent, with towering ancient trees and babbling brooks, like a green paradise. Lanxi Waterfall cascades down. The mountain mists shifted constantly, sometimes creating a fairyland atmosphere, sometimes revealing a clear blue sky; every step was a scenic view. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were welcoming. This trip completely relaxed my mind and body; it's an excellent choice for escaping the city and getting close to nature. Booking through Ctrip was smooth throughout, and the experience was fantastic. Highly recommended!

    Since we entered the panda base in the afternoon, most of the pandas were sleeping, so we didn't see many. If I come again, I should go to the panda base to see the pandas in the morning and then go to the zoo in the afternoon. The scenery in the canyon was just average.

    We went with one adult and one child. I was a college student and it cost 68 yuan, while my mother cost 260 yuan. Overall, it was a bit expensive and we didn't think it was worth the price. The jellyfish exhibit, which we were most looking forward to, was not open when we went, which was a huge disappointment.

    Teacher Dazhi's explanations were erudite and profound, making the historical and poetic intersection of Wuhou Temple both historical and poetic. He not only connected the past and present but also imbued every brick and piece of wood with character and warmth. This was not just a lecture, but a cultural journey that touched the soul. Five stars! As for the Sichuan Opera tea break experience, I personally think it's better to go to a larger-scale Sichuan Opera performance for a more spectacular experience.

    This is a free old street in the style of western Sichuan, located in the center of Chengdu, adjacent to the famous Wuhou Temple. It is easily accessible, with a large area, distinctive features, numerous shops, and a bustling atmosphere.

    It was pretty good! The children learned a lot. We hired a guide specifically for them. We arrived early, and the guide cost 30 yuan per person. Only the three of us kids got a guided tour, and the effect was fantastic. By the time we finished our visit around 11 a.m. and were ready to leave, there were noticeably more visitors.

    Arriving just in time for the ginkgo leaves to turn golden, a visit to the Sichuan Provincial Museum offers a unique experience. Besides the permanent exhibitions, they are setting up other temporary displays. A museum visit isn't a once-in-a-lifetime event; frequent visits are the best way to go.

    There's a decent VR experience. The lines are relatively short. Book in advance to minimize wait times. You can also explore the area around the pier, where you can interact with NPCs and even sing.
