Cheng Du/Nature

Best Nature in Cheng Du

• Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

  The most accessible place in the world to see giant pandas up close, set in a forested park just outside the city center. Arrive early morning when pandas are most active.

• Mount Emei

  One of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, with temples scattered along forested slopes leading up to a Golden Summit known for dramatic sunrise views and a sea-of-clouds effect. A common day-or-overnight trip from Chengdu.
