The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is more than just a place to see pandas—it’s an educational experience that highlights the challenges and triumphs of panda conservation. Informative exhibits and displays throughout the base provide insights into the biology, behavior, and conservation status of giant pandas. You’ll learn about the threats they face in the wild, such as habitat loss and climate change, and the ongoing efforts to protect them. One of the highlights of a visit to the base is the opportunity to witness the pandas during their feeding times, when they are most active. Watching a panda expertly peel and eat bamboo is a fascinating experience that showcases their unique adaptations and behaviors. For those interested in a more in-depth experience, the base offers special programs, such as volunteer opportunities or behind-the-scenes tours, where you can learn about the daily care and management of these incredible animals.
Nestled in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, Luodai Ancient Town is a charming testament to Sichuan's rich Hakka cultural heritage. Often called the "Hakka Town of the West," its history stretches back over a thousand years to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The town's soul lies in its well-preserved architecture: a mile-long main street paved with smooth bluestone slabs, flanked by traditional timber-and-bamboo structures with sweeping upturned eaves. Ornate carvings decorate the ancient gates and courtyards, whispering stories of the past. Luodai is especially famous for its "Dragon's Tail"—the winding, narrow alleyways that branch off the main thoroughfare. The air is often filled with the inviting aroma of local snacks; don't miss the iconic "Smelly Yet Fragrant" smoked goose or the sweet, glutinous "Aiwowo" rice cakes. At the heart of the town sits the magnificent Guangdong Guild Hall (Nanyang Palace), a symbol of the Hakka community's historical migration and cohesion.

What a wonderful experience! Everything was perfect. Holly was an exceptional guide. The pick up was perfect, and included a few gifts! The transport was clean and comfortable. I had the most wonderful day. The ancient town was fun and informative, Holly answered all of my questions with ease and I highly reccomend this tour. Thank you so much Holly and Lala! I can not wait to come back and visit again!
Huge thanks! Dan Your order means you're supporting our small dream. Please say hi to the lovely Whiskey for us. Hope you have a great time! Best regards Lala
An unforgettable experience! We booked 3 tours with Lalaland, 2 of which were customised and tailored to our own needs. What can I say.. they were Awesome! They took care of everything for us and planned the whole tours around our interests and needs. I especially was interested in Chinese ancient towns and tea culture. Unfortunately, because of time, for the first two tours we couldn't have an actual Chinese tea experience. But on our third tour we did have an authentic tea drinking experience!😍😍 Thanks to Lalaland, we experienced authentic Chengdu food, culture and traditions! We couldn't be happier with these 3 tours!😆 And the team is simply spot-on! Advices for the Lalaland team: The only advice we have for the team to further improve the experience: always have a plan B. If things get out of hand, if queues become endless and you need to wait in the queue for longer than expected, having a plan B truly helps you avoid wasting time and still focusing on the experiences the clients wanted. Ideas for further improvements: This is just an idea — you could consider offering extra-hour options to extend the tour if it runs late but is still ongoing. Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories, on behalf of us all!! 😍💫
Dear frafra: On behalf our the whole team,pls send our warmest greetings to you and your lovely families!!they are all kind and amazing!! and thank you for your patience and encouragement to our new tour guide,they all being motivated by your words!! Thank you again! Lala
We had Lala for a private tour. Was very accommodating and hospitable. Very good local knowledge of chengdu and the surrounding areas. Would definately recommend.
Thank you for choosing us!! wishing you all the best!!
LaLa is the best guide. She is so attentive, friendly and pays such great attention to detail, working with us to provide a unique and interesting experience. She is knowledgeable, professional and worked very hard to make sure that we got an amazing abd authentic experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough- fabulous LaLa and Lalaland for a wonderful time.
Dear Suee, Your grace, both inside and out, makes me no longer afraid of growing older. I truly hope that one day I can age as elegantly as you and your friends. I still remember that morning we met at the hotel, we were like three beautiful sisters—wearing slippers together, which was a first in my career! Every moment spent with you brought me so much joy. Thank you again for your kind review, and for your support and trust in me and our company. I look forward to seeing you again soon! Wishing you all the best. Your Lala
We had an amazing day trip to visit the panda base on the outskirts of Chengdu, followed by an authentic lunch and onto a fascinating ancient city. Lala was a most professional, fun and informative guide who went above and beyond to make this day trip really special and one to always treasure and remember. I thoroughly recommend Lalaland as a tour company for exploring both Chengdu city and the wider regions. I wish her every success with her relatively fledgling but expanding business.
Dear Lynn, Meeting you has been such a blessing. You are incredibly kind and full of warmth, and I truly felt your encouragement and sincere support. Thank you so much for your generous recognition and the heartfelt wishes for my company. Your genuine sharing means a lot to us, and I truly hope we can meet again soon! Wishing you all the best. Your Lala

Thank a bunch of love,what a lovely families!! You are always welcome back!
It was an amazing experience created for us by Lala! We've got more than we bargained for. Two tours in one! We were picked up at the hotel by Lala and it was a very comfortable ride to Panda Base. Drinks and snacks were provided during the tour. Then we were taken to an old village where we had a hotpot. It was sooo good! The place itself was very beautiful. I have taken lots of photos on this trip. We were not treated as customers but rather friends who paid a visit after a long time. We are very thankful to Lala to make our stay in Chengdu a memorable one!
Dear Alexander， Thank you for choosing us—you’ve brought me one step closer to my dream! We’re truly honored to have had the chance to show you around Chengdu. The photos you took for us are absolutely stunning—such high quality! I’ll always cherish the wonderful day we spent together, along with all the thoughts and stories we shared. Those memories are priceless to me. Thank YOU for trusting me with your Chengdu adventure. Sending you both big hugs and panda-sized gratitude! 🐼💖 Your friend-Lala
