每日行程
Morning Panda Watching & Nursery Visit
Arrive early for the best panda experience — they are most active during morning feeding time (8:30-10:00 AM). Kids will be thrilled watching baby pandas tumble in the nursery and adult pandas munch bamboo. Take the sightseeing bus to save little legs for exploring the enclosures on foot.
Family Hotpot with Divided Broth Options
Head to a family-friendly hotpot restaurant with divided pot options — spicy broth for adventurous parents and mild bone broth for kids. Children love choosing and cooking their own ingredients. Most hotpot chains provide high chairs and kid-friendly seating.
Family Hotel Afternoon Rest
Return to the hotel for an afternoon rest. Traveling with kids means building in downtime — let little ones nap or have quiet screen time while parents recharge. This ensures everyone is refreshed for evening activities.
Chunxi Road Panda Sculpture Photo Fun
Take the family to Chunxi Road pedestrian street. The highlight for kids is the famous giant panda sculpture climbing the IFS building — a perfect photo opportunity. Grab bubble tea and street snacks, and let kids enjoy the lively atmosphere of this vibrant shopping district.
Lantern-Lit Jinli with Sugar Art & Face-Changing
Experience Jinli as lanterns begin to glow. Kids can watch artisans make sugar paintings (tanghua), try cotton candy, and see brief face-changing teaser performances at street stalls. The colorful lantern-lit atmosphere is magical for children of all ages.
