Can I climb a holy mountain in Chengdu?

You can indeed. Mount Qingcheng is just a 45-minute train ride from central Chengdu and a beautiful place to enjoy some fresh air and mountain views.

How to get to Mount Qingcheng?

Take the high-speed train to Qingchengshan railway station from Xipu station in Chengdu. Then hop into one of the many buses that depart to the back mountain from the station car park (look out for the characters 青城后山).

Where is the world's biggest Buddha?

In Chengdu! The Leshan Giant Buddha (乐山大佛) is the biggest in the world. It really is HUGE , and it’s carved out of the side of a mountain called Leshan (乐山).

Where should I see the pandas in Chengdu?

Take a train out of town to the lesser-known Dujiangyan Panda Base . The thirty or so panda enclosures there are situated in a more natural, mountainous setting. And since it requires a bit of travel, there are fewer tourists too! TOP TIP || Try to get there as early as possible, because pandas are most active in the cooler hours before midday. GETTING THERE || Take the high city train from Xipu railway station in Chengdu to the Mount Qincheng stop (around 30 minutes). Then take the 102 bus from the station car park to Xiongmao Jikong Zhongxin.

Is Chengdu a good place for kids and teens?

Absolutely. Chengdu is one of China’s most family-friendly cities, home to pandas, local teahouses, and interactive museums. For families interested in an educational experience elsewhere in China, programs like the China Summer Camp and China Winter Camp offer young learners a safe and immersive way to study Mandarin and explore local culture during school holidays.
