Build one good day first
The useful plan is panda base early, Jinli and Wuhou or Kuanzhai later, hotpot in the evening.
- Anchor the day around Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding or Jinli Street.
- Keep Chunxi Road for the right weather and timing.
The best things to do in Chengdu are not just a list of names. They need order, weather sense, and a landing point. I would start with the anchor that defines the day, then add food, shopping, or a quieter area only when it helps the rhythm.
The practical rule is simple: panda base early, Jinli and Wuhou or Kuanzhai later, hotpot in the evening. That keeps the day grounded instead of making it feel like a loose checklist.
