Family Leisure Tour Route for Chengdu Travel Road
Chengdu, a dynamic and fascinating city, is hailed as a paradise for family leisure tourism. Apart from some hot spots, there are plenty of hip experiences and niche check-in spots, which are very appropriate for family travel. Here next, I’d like to take you with me for my three-day tour in Chengdu. I hope it can be of some use to friends who are planning a trip to Chengdu.
Day 1: Experience Modern Culture and Urban Fun
Morning: Dongjiao Memory
I started my trip to Chengdu from Dongjiao Memory, a so-called old industrial area now transformed into a creative cultural park. The old factory buildings preserved in the park have become art houses, music studios and specialty cafes. The relatives strolled between the graffiti walls and enjoyed the street paintings of creative art; kids were attracted by the interactive art pieces, while elders could choose special handicraft and designer goods in the stores. Don’t forget to try a pot of traditional Sichuan tea with novelty in the fashionable teahouse!
Afternoon: Visit Chengdu Happy Valley
Afternoon, go to the Chengdu Happy Valley, a large park that can bring endless joy to the whole family. The park is divided into various themed areas, various amusement devices and exquisite shows. Simple projects like carousels are applicable to small children, whereas roller coasters and bungee jumping machines are provided for older children and parents to enjoy the thrill. There are also acrobats, magic show and other performances in the park. You can also check in and have your photo shoot in the park to record the beautiful moments of your trip.
Evening: Go to Kuanzhai Alley to Experience the Food
In the evening, have a family stroll at Kuanzhai Alley, and the alleys and streets will be lively during the night. There are all kinds of restaurants, bars and shops among the old Sichuan-style architecture. From spicy skewers to sweet cold noodles, you can enjoy all kinds of Sichuan snacks. With lights on in the evening, take a rickshaw through the alley to feel the fireworks of the nightlife of Chengdu, or sit in to watch a shadow play to appreciate the authentic folk customs of Chengdu.
Day 2: Experience Natural Wonders and Historical Miracles
Morning: Xiling Snow Mountain Tour
The second day begins in Xiling Snow Mountain, which is known for its towering peaks and stunning scenery. During summer, you can trek in the mountains, which are fresh and green. If you wish to climb the mountain without much effort, you can take the cable car too. The alpine meadow at the peak of the mountain is a wonderful site for kids to play, fly kites and picnic. In winter, Xiling Snow Mountain is a snow and ice kingdom, in which skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports are open to all members of the family.
Afternoon: Enjoy the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project
After lunch, visit the 2,200-year-old Dujiangyan Irrigation Project. Families can, in addition to the regular tour, have a boat tour on the Minjiang River to appreciate the wisdom of ancient people from another perspective. Children can get to know ancient water conservancy science through interactive panels and actual activities. Parks surrounding it are covered with plants, which are suitable for a leisurely stroll.
Evening: Dinner at the Dujiangyan River
In the evening, dine at the Dujiangyan Riverside Restaurant and taste Sichuan river fish, seasonal fresh vegetables and other special dishes. After dinner, take a walk along the river with your family, and the breeze will bring a romantic end to a fulfilling day.
Day 3: Enjoy Traditional Art and Shopping Feast
Morning: Visit the Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum
You can visit Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum on the last day of your visit to Chengdu. The whole family can watch the craftsman hand-weaving gorgeous Shu brocade on the age-old loom and learn about the history and culture of the art form. The kids can also try simple hand-embroidery under the guidance of the master. There is also a souvenir shop in the museum, which can be purchased on demand.
Afternoon: Chengdu International Financial Center
Go to Chengdu International Financial Center for one-stop shopping, dining, and entertainment. Visit international brands and local trendy boutiques, and check-in at the indoor amusement park; lunch can be chosen at a Sichuan restaurant or international restaurant. Don’t forget to take a photo with the giant panda sculpture on the rooftop, a Chengdu memory exclusive!
Evening: Dinner in a Traditional Courtyard
Enjoy dinner in a traditional Sichuan courtyard restaurant, with the aroma of classic Sichuan dishes such as twice-cooked pork and fish-flavored pork shreds. The family sits around the courtyard and shares unforgettable moments in Chengdu. Then prepare to return home.
