Pandas at breakfast, mahjong in the park, and the Giant Buddha carved from a cliff.
Panda Base at 8 am — the cubs are awake, eating, and unbothered. Slow lunch, People’s Park tea afternoon: your guide gets you a bamboo chair, a thermos, and a mahjong seat if you dare.
Drive to Leshan: the 71-metre Giant Buddha from the river, monastery lunch above the clouds, back to Chengdu for the Sichuan opera face-changers.
Hotpot masterclass with a local family — mild broth on one side, ‘numbing’ on the other. Afternoon: Jinli lanterns or Kuanzhai alleys, goodbye tea at Wenshu Monastery.
