Chengdu Travel Forum

Hi,
i am planning to visit chengdu and would also like to see some other sichuan World Natural & Cultural sites .

anyone has any particular recommendations, especially pasture, waterfalls, Tibetan villages, Qiang Villages, Taoism, Buddism, hot springs etc.

thanks

You must never miss the Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center. The pandas don't look so clean but nevertheless adorable and very friendly.

Le Shan Budha

Emeishan and Leshan for Buddhism.
Not sure if you have the time and money to go to Litang, and also not sure if the horse-racing festival will be ongoing at the time of your trip.
Hailuogou Glacier might be worth a go, if the weather is good and you're not on a tight budget.

If you want to see unique things and have an amazing trip, such as pasture, Tibetan villages, Qiang villages, temples, lamas..., you should go to Aba and Ganzi, northwest of Sichuan. I have been there the last summer, and really enjoy my trip.
If you like, you could browse my pages and tips about Aba and Ganzi, hope you could find some interesting things. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/c6ecc/f8add/

If you are venturesome,try these places:
Pasture: Litang, Daocheng and Yading, in north Sichuan province;
Waterfall: Jiuzhaigou
Tibetan & Qiang villages: Ganzi & Aba Autonomous Region,
Taoism: Mt. Qingcheng
Buddism: Mt.Leshan, Emei
Hot spring: Emei,Mt.Xiling

Hope it helps
