Chengdu, China Cruises

Chengdu, China Cruise Port

• Take a tour to The Ancient Fortress Wall, which was constructed during the Qing dynasty and still stands majestically to this day. Old and bulky hibiscus trees form lines on both sides of the wall making for what is beautiful scenery for any traveler all through the year.
   
• Spend a day with giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. These majestic giants of the east are slowly dwindling in numbers which makes it a good time to see them as they roll around and play with one another.
   
• Chengdu is home to the world's oldest irrigation project. Built almost 2000 years ago and still functioning today, Dujiangyan irrigation system stopped all flooding in the local region and transformed Chengdu into a very productive agricultural region. The irrigation project is worth visiting.
   
• Lovers of history will enjoy a day at the Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Established over 1,200 years ago this museum was constructed in honor of Du Fu, a local poet. It also houses works of art and ancient relics of the Tang Dynasty.
