Great Panda Reserve + Wuhou Temple + Old District

Get in touch with the main feature and treasure of Chengdu - the giant panda.

Today we will visit the Panda Research Center.

The giant panda is one of the rarest animals in the world. It is mainly distributed in mountainous regions, provinces of China - Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi. Since the number of giant pandas was limited, it was listed among the rare animals of China. The giant panda is not only the national jewel of China, but also a precious “living fossil” for scientists in the study of biological evolution. The image of the giant panda was placed on the emblem of the World Association for the Protection of Wild Animals. Moreover, the giant panda works as a peace envoy traveling abroad to make the Chinese nation’s friendship with other countries. People of all countries love him very much.

The big panda likes to live alone and eat bamboo. With a symbolic black and white color, he is obedient and smart, and looks full and pleasant. It is 1.5 m in length, shoulders 60-70 cm high and weight reaches 100-180 kg.

Then visit the Wuhou Temple, located in the southern suburb of Chengdu, the most famous of those built in honor of Zhuge Liang, who lived from 181 to 234 years. He is one of the most important historical figures in China. Zhuge Liang was a respected minister and military strategist at the court of Emperor Liu Bei (Liu Bei, 161-223), who ruled the Shu kingdom during the Three Kingdoms. There is also a section in the temple dedicated to the emperor. During his lifetime, Zhuge Liang was awarded the title of Wuxiang Hou (Marquis of Wuxiang). Hence the name of the temple. The temple is one of the main attractions of Chengdu. During the tour you can see statues of the emperor and his marquis, ancient documents and other evidence of the era. The Three Kingdoms lasted from 220 to 280. At this time, China was divided into three competing kingdoms: Wu, Shu and Wei. The area around the ancient city of Chengdu was part of the Shu kingdom ruled by its first king, Liu Bei. The king's chief assistant was Zhuge Liang. Despite the initial successes and efforts of Zhege Liang, the army of the kingdom was subsequently defeated, and it ceased to exist.

Then he'll visit the old neighborhood. To the northwest of the city center of Chengdu there are three lanes with a parallel location: Kuanxiangzi Alley, Zhaxiangzi Alley and Jingxiangzi Alley - they together with residential extensions on all four sides create a cultural landmark - the cultural and historical area of Kuanzhaxiangzi Alley.

When visitors walk along the alley at sunset, looking at the smoke of the hearths, a life sketch of the ancient city appears before them. About Kuanzhaxiangzi lane, Chengdu residents say: “Kuanxiangzi lane is a free life in the ancient city of Chengdu, Zhaxiangzi lane is a leisurely life of the old city, Jingxiangzi lane is a new life of the city of Chengdu.”
