Main Attractions in Chengdu
The main attraction of Chengdu itself is the world renowned UN-awarded Panda Breeding Research Centre, where you can see the personality-plus bears in a semi-natural environment. Be sure to visit early morning to see the bears in action at feeding time, during which they flop back leisurely on their behind munching kilos of bamboo in a sitting, oblivious to the tourists snapping away a mere few metres away.
