Major Attractions of Chengdu include:
Panda Breeding Research Center: Despite efforts to protect them, Pandas remain endangered, their numbers hovering around an estimated 1,600 in the wild. Their chief threat is not poaching ¨C now punishable by life imprisonment or public execution ¨C but loss of habitat. Bamboo forests, the source of 95% of a panda's diet, are diminishing. In the wild, pandas are reclusive and a sighting is rare, but here at the center, you're guaranteed a look at them as they munch a meal. And your Let's Travel China tour takes you here in the morning, during feeding time when the pandas are most active. Du Fu's Thatched Cottage: During the Tang Dynasty, art, literature and music flourished. Of special note were the Tang Dynasty Poets, who were revered then, as they are today. One of the most famous, Du Fu, lived in Chengdu for five years. His home, a simple thatched cottage, is a well-visited attraction in town. Chengdu Teahouses: Even in China - a nation of serious tea drinkers - Chengdu's teahouses are acclaimed. The city has thousands of them. Once the province of men conducting informal business gatherings, Chengdu's teahouses now cater to just about everyone, and run the gamut from almost impossibly small hideouts to elaborate, parkside settings with Chinese opera performances.
