- How to get to our meeting-point -
Dear international travelers, our meeting-point is super easy to find: it's near Taikoo Li and Chunxi Road, and Chengdu IFS is a landmark building with a very visible panda sculpture on it. There are subways and many hotels nearby, so you can also walk here. Our Team wear blue vests and hold a boarding sign with the ZANBUS logo. We will wait for everyone to gather in front of the Prada store at the bottom of the panda sculpture before we depart.

Start the day with up-close views of cute giant pandas at Chengdu Panda Park, watching them munch bamboo or play—pure joy for all ages.
Visit the 71-meter-tall Leshan Giant Buddha, a stunning ancient carving, to feel its grand scale and rich cultural charm.
Easy gathering at IFS panda sculpture (Prada store) with a guide, making the full-day trip smooth and worry-free.



The Base is home to over 80 of China's iconic pandas. Most are of the familiar black and white variety, but the Base is also home to a number of the smaller, lesser-known red pandas. You'll view the animals eating and at play in a carefully maintained habitat that is as close to their natural environment as possible. You'll also learn how scientists and ecologists are working to protect the few remaining wild pandas and expand the captive population. On that last note, over 100 bears have been born at the Base since 1987.The Base became even more important after the Sichuan earthquake of 2008, with eight bears sent here from the badly damaged Wolong reserve. Your visit provides both moral and financial support for the ongoing conservation effort.

Dafo, at 71 m (233 ft) in height, is the world's largest stone-carved Buddha. Cut from the cliffs of Lingyun Shan and looming over the meeting of the Min and Dadu rivers and facing distant Emei Shan, the 400-year old world wonder is a sight to behold. Just as amazing are the beautiful mountain views from atop the Buddha's head and the Lingyun Temple Museum documenting the amazing story of the building of Dafo by the determined Tang Dynasty monk Haitong.
