What you'll see and do
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is more than just a place to see pandas—it’s an educational experience that highlights the challenges and triumphs of panda conservation. Informative exhibits and displays throughout the base provide insights into the biology, behavior, and conservation status of giant pandas. You’ll learn about the threats they face in the wild, such as habitat loss and climate change, and the ongoing efforts to protect them. One of the highlights of a visit to the base is the opportunity to witness the pandas during their feeding times, when they are most active. Watching a panda expertly peel and eat bamboo is a fascinating experience that showcases their unique adaptations and behaviors. For those interested in a more in-depth experience, the base offers special programs, such as volunteer opportunities or behind-the-scenes tours, where you can learn about the daily care and management of these incredible animals.

Yuantong Ancient Town
This ancient town is known as 'Little Chengdu of a Thousand Years' and 'the living Qingming Riverside Scroll.' most of ours have gone the way of over-commercializationrow after row of identical snack stalls and souvenir shops. That’s exactly why I’ve handpicked Yuantong Ancient Town in Chongzhou for you. It’s off the tourist radar，a place where local Chengdu residents actually head to on weekends and holidays. This is the town they call the real-life Qingming Riverside Scroll of western Sichuan. There’s no faux-antique replica architecture here; what survives is the unscripted, everyday rhythm of life that has flowed through these streets for centuries. To me, it’s Chengdu’s truest hidden gem. With a history stretching back over 1,600 years, Yuantong sits at the confluence of three rivers，the Wenjing, Weijiang, and Bojiang and was once a thriving water and land hub on the western Sichuan Plain.

Amazing tour! Highly reccomend
What a wonderful experience! Everything was perfect. Holly was an exceptional guide. The pick up was perfect, and included a few gifts! The transport was clean and comfortable. I had the most wonderful day. The ancient town was fun and informative, Holly answered all of my questions with ease and I highly reccomend this tour. Thank you so much Holly and Lala! I can not wait to come back and visit again!
Response from the operator: Huge thanks! Dan Your order means you're supporting our small dream. Please say hi to the lovely Whiskey for us. Hope you have a great time! Best regards Lala

An Unforgettable Experience
An unforgettable experience! We booked 3 tours with Lalaland, 2 of which were customised and tailored to our own needs. What can I say.. they were Awesome! They took care of everything for us and planned the whole tours around our interests and needs. I especially was interested in Chinese ancient towns and tea culture. Unfortunately, because of time, for the first two tours we couldn't have an actual Chinese tea experience. But on our third tour we did have an authentic tea drinking experience!😍😍 Thanks to Lalaland, we experienced authentic Chengdu food, culture and traditions! We couldn't be happier with these 3 tours!😆 And the team is simply spot-on! Advices for the Lalaland team: The only advice we have for the team to further improve the experience: always have a plan B. If things get out of hand, if queues become endless and you need to wait in the queue for longer than expected, having a plan B truly helps you avoid wasting time and still focusing on the experiences the clients wanted. Ideas for further improvements: This is just an idea — you could consider offering extra-hour options to extend the tour if it runs late but is still ongoing. Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories, on behalf of us all!! 😍💫
Response from the operator: Dear frafra: On behalf our the whole team,pls send our warmest greetings to you and your lovely families!!they are all kind and amazing!! and thank you for your patience and encouragement to our new tour guide,they all being motivated by your words!! Thank you again! Lala

Brilliant guide- and authentic experience
LaLa is the best guide. She is so attentive, friendly and pays such great attention to detail, working with us to provide a unique and interesting experience. She is knowledgeable, professional and worked very hard to make sure that we got an amazing abd authentic experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough- fabulous LaLa and Lalaland for a wonderful time.
Response from the operator: Dear Suee, Your grace, both inside and out, makes me no longer afraid of growing older. I truly hope that one day I can age as elegantly as you and your friends. I still remember that morning we met at the hotel, we were like three beautiful sisters—wearing slippers together, which was a first in my career! Every moment spent with you brought me so much joy. Thank you again for your kind review, and for your support and trust in me and our company. I look forward to seeing you again soon! Wishing you all the best. Your Lala

A fabulous, well organised and varied trip!
We had an amazing day trip to visit the panda base on the outskirts of Chengdu, followed by an authentic lunch and onto a fascinating ancient city. Lala was a most professional, fun and informative guide who went above and beyond to make this day trip really special and one to always treasure and remember. I thoroughly recommend Lalaland as a tour company for exploring both Chengdu city and the wider regions. I wish her every success with her relatively fledgling but expanding business.
Response from the operator: Dear Lynn, Meeting you has been such a blessing. You are incredibly kind and full of warmth, and I truly felt your encouragement and sincere support. Thank you so much for your generous recognition and the heartfelt wishes for my company. Your genuine sharing means a lot to us, and I truly hope we can meet again soon! Wishing you all the best. Your Lala

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $128 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chengdu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chengdu is not rushed.
Is All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chengdu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chengdu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chengdu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All-Inclusive Private Panda & Hidden Ancient Town Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chengdu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chengdu?
+
On Outty we rank every Chengdu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chengdu Cooking Class with a Local Market Visit, Private Chengdu Day Tour: Giant Pandas and Jinsha Site Museum, Tuktuk Food Tour Through Chengdu's Local Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chengdu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chengdu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
