This morning, our guide will meet you in the hotel lobby and take you to start today's Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain tour. Since the giant panda volunteer activity begins at 8:30 a.m., we will depart early for the panda base to complete check-in and training. First, you will drive about 67 kilometers (about 1.5 hours) to visit the Dujiangyan Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, hailed as a "panda paradise," to see China's adorable national treasure, the giant panda, learn about their habits and conservation, and experience the daily work of a panda keeper. The Dujiangyan Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, also known as the Dujiangyan Panda Base, is China's first specialized institution focused on giant panda rescue and disease prevention and control research. It is also an important science education base and China's "giant panda customs," where all giant pandas leaving or returning to China must stay for a three-month mandatory observation period. In addition, the Dujiangyan Panda Base is located near the World Heritage area of giant panda habitat, which is very suitable for giant pandas, with a negative oxygen ion content as high as 91%, making it an excellent place to see giant pandas and enjoy natural healing. Besides the giant pandas living here, you can also see red pandas, golden pheasants, Asian black bears, and other rare animals. Giant panda volunteer activity content After arriving at the Dujiangyan Panda Base, you need to sign a safety agreement and receive a volunteer work card, clothing, and gloves.

If you are interested in Chinese kung fu, in the afternoon you can follow a Qingcheng Mountain martial arts master to experience an exciting Qingcheng kung fu class and feel the charm of Chinese kung fu. Qingcheng kung fu (Qingcheng martial arts) has a history of nearly 2,000 years. It originated in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, and is deeply influenced by Taoist culture, embodying the concept of "overcoming hardness with softness." In 2021, it was included in China's national intangible cultural heritage list. Among its forms, Qingcheng tai chi has movements as gentle as flowing water and emphasizes the combination of breathing and intention; its techniques are simple and practical, with few flashy movements, making it very suitable for health preservation. Qingcheng swordplay is known for being light and swift, hence the saying "swordplay goes to Qingcheng." In the process of experiencing Qingcheng kung fu, you can both relax body and mind and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Chinese kung fu, appreciating the philosophy of "unity of heaven and humanity" and "the Tao follows nature."

This morning, you will head to Qingcheng Mountain, one of Chengdu's popular tourist attractions. Qingcheng Mountain is one of the birthplaces of Chinese Taoism, one of the four famous Taoist mountains in China, and a famous World Cultural Heritage Site. Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founder of Taoism, established the Way of the Celestial Master here. More than ten Taoist temples still exist, including Jianfu Palace and Tianshi Cave, and it is known as the "Fifth Cave Heaven of Taoism." In addition, Qingcheng Mountain has verdant peaks and secluded winding paths, and its trees are evergreen and lush all year round, making it a natural oxygen bar. It is known as "Qingcheng Mountain, the most secluded under heaven." Moreover, Qingcheng Mountain was a filming location for Kung Fu Panda 3. Based on Qingcheng Mountain's beautiful natural scenery and magnificent Taoist architecture, the film created the misty bamboo forest and the red-walled, green-tiled Panda Village. You can stroll through it and immersively experience the scenery of Po's hometown in Kung Fu Panda, the immortal Taoist atmosphere, and visual wonders like a fairyland. The best way to tour Qingcheng Mountain is on foot, and Qingcheng Mountain has a rich variety of hiking routes, from easy and leisurely sections to highly challenging ones, allowing you to fully explore Taoist culture and natural wildness. Recommended hiking route for today: Scenic area entrance → sightseeing bus (about 10 minutes) → Yuecheng Lake → walk about 20 minutes, or take a ferry → cable car station near Yuecheng Lake → cable car up the mountain (about 5 minutes) → hike about 1 hour to the summit (if walking all the way up, it takes about 3–4 hours) → pass Shangqing Palace (the largest Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain) and Laojun Pavilion (the best viewpoint on Qingcheng Mountain) → hike down for about 2 hours (passing Chaoyang Cave, the best Taoist cultivation site, and Tianshi Mansion, famous for the thousand-year-old ginkgo planted by Master Zhang himself) / take the cable car down. If time permits, you can visit Jianfu Palace near the entrance. It was first built in the 12th year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (724). The 394-character long couplet from the Qing Dynasty hanging in the hall is praised as "a masterpiece of Qingcheng." In the afternoon, head to the famous World Cultural Heritage Site Dujiangyan. Dujiangyan was built under the leadership of Li Bing, governor of Shu Commandery. It is the world's oldest existing dam-free water diversion irrigation project, with a history of more than two thousand years, and it is still in use today, ensuring the irrigation needs of the Sichuan granary. In 2018, it was included in the World Heritage Irrigation Structures list and is known as the "source of the Land of Abundance." Among its sites, the Yuzui Water-Dividing Dike (the iconic project of Dujiangyan), Feishayan (the key to flood discharge and sand release), and Baopingkou (the "throat" controlling the water intake of the Chengdu Plain) are must-see attractions that allow you to gain an in-depth understanding of China's ancient water conservancy projects and marvel at the superb wisdom of the ancients. Cultural sites such as the Two Kings Temple (an ancient temple dedicated to Li Bing and his son, a great place to learn about Dujiangyan's glorious history), Fulong Temple (whose top floor offers a view of the spectacular rushing river), and Anlan Suspension Bridge (an ancient suspension bridge spanning the Minjiang River) allow you to fully understand Dujiangyan's profound cultural heritage. In addition, the Two Kings Temple fair held from the 24th to the 26th day of the sixth lunar month each year and the Qingming Water-Releasing Festival attract much attention and countless visitors. After the tour, this wonderful and unforgettable two-day Chengdu Dujiangyan Qingcheng Mountain tour will come to an end. Our driver will take you to the airport/train station or back to your hotel.
