Chengdu Tianfu Family Experience

Discover Chengdu through Sichuan’s museum collections, panda ecology, Dujiangyan water engineering and Sanxingdui culture, with city walks, performance and hands-on learning. Specific venues, expert activities and any certificates are subject to confirmed arrangements.

This five-day, four-night family journey connects everyday Chengdu with conservation, water engineering and ancient Shu culture. Opening activities and an introduction to the Land of Abundance take place the day after arrival. Follow clues at Sichuan Museum, experience teahouse culture in People’s Park, write a postcard to the future and enjoy a Sichuan-opera performance. Observe pandas and learn about conservation before exploring the water-management ideas behind Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou at Dujiangyan. The Sanxingdui-themed day combines object observation, questions, a bronze workshop and simulated excavation. Wuhou Shrine and a closing reflection connect the discoveries across the journey. The panda venue, expert activities and any certificate arrangements remain subject to confirmation. The core programme includes four nights in shared twin rooms, four breakfasts, four standard main meals and one speciality hotpot meal. Listed flight-inclusive A/B packages are SGD1,099/SGD1,199 per person, with the same adult/child price. Confirm eligible dates, taxes, baggage, room supplements and extra nights for the selected package. Arrival at the hotel is independent; the final airport or station transfer follows confirmed arrangements, and early-return flights may alter the final day.
