What to expect
Itinerary
Located 6 miles north of Chengdu City, it is home to giant pandas, red (or lesser) pandas, and other endangered species. Visit the nursery to see the highly successful breeding program, among the bamboo groves and shady walkways, and to view the pandas at rest or play. There is a panda museum where you can learn some information about giant pandas. The trips are designed to make sure that you enjoy a good day without wasting any time so you can spend more time with these cute pandas. Staring at them and not having to do anything alone ensures you have a delightful time. Enjoy the peaceful time available with the pandas and commit the experience to memory by taking photos and videos.
Additional Information:
1. Carry a long lens if you want detailed pictures of the giant pandas. Keep in mind that you mustn’t use your flash when taking photos. Because panda’s eyes are very sensitive to light.
2. You should also resist the urge to feed the pandas. They have their own nutrition recipes. Your food is not good for them.
3. Don’t shout at the pandas, no matter how excited you are. They just don’t like to being disturbed.
Stop At:
• Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi), No.1375 Xiongmao Avenue the Outside Northern Third Ring Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu 610081 China

Walking on the wall on this trip, rather than queueing up to take photos with crowds of other tourists is definitely worth the extra travel time and effort. If you really want to experience the sheer vastness of the structure and appreciate the countryside, this trip delivers all of that. I particularly enjoyed identifying a lot of the plants, shrubs and vegetation along the way. Be prepared for a good hike, pleasant easy company and a great meal at the end of it! Our tour guide was Barry and he makes conversation easy.Kenny C

An unforgettable experience organized by China Highlights. The 4 days hike covered the wild & unrestored Great Wall Huanghuacheng (黄花城,), Xishuiyu (西水峪), Gubeikou (古北口), Jiankou (箭扣). It’s was a tailored made trip where I skipped Badaling. I have a personal guide, driver with car. The booking advisor Claire Wong provided prompt service & personal attention to detail from initial enquiry till completion. Everything were well planned, yet flexible & taken care of. To express how good her service was – Claire makes the customer feel guilty not to accept her offer. For the Great Wall, you may review them in Instagram #Greatwall_Apr2019 #Beijing_Apr2019Mike W

This is a well organised trip to a quieter but easily accessible part of the wall. Barry, our guide was friendly, well organised and fun to be with. Lunch after the walk was excellent. The whole experience is to be recommended. Chinahighlight stayed in contact, even calling the hotel the day before to confirm the pickup time, even though it was posted online. A memorable day out.
