  Begin your odyssey at Liziba Station, where sleek trains gracefully pierce through residential towers - an architectural symphony unique to this vertical metropolis. Wander through the Three Gorges Museum's cultural tapestry before marveling at the People's Great Hall's imperial grandeur (exterior view).

• Day 3: Wulong Karst Wonders Expedition

  Venture deep into the UNESCO-listed Wulong Karst region, where nature has carved its most astonishing masterpieces. At Three Natural Bridges (with shuttle and battery cart), stroll beneath towering limestone arches soaring nearly 300 meters high - an ethereal landscape immortalized in Transformers. Watch as waterfalls tumble between the vaulted spans, their mist catching the sunlight to weave shimmering rainbows.

  Descend into the mystical Longshuixia (with a sightseeing shuttle and panoramic elevator). Wander along cliff-hugging walkways through this 5-kilometer chasm, where emerald pools reflect cascading vines and sheer rock walls. Sunbeams pierce the narrow "One-Line Sky," illuminating the ancient gorge sculpted by subterranean rivers, and casting a spellbinding glow over this hidden wonder.

• Day 4: Chongqing - Chengdu

  After a morning transfer from Chongqing (train station drop-off & Chengdu pickup included), discover Chengdu's soul through its timeless rituals.

  Begin at Wenshu Monastery, where incense swirls around 1,000-year-old Buddhist scriptures and locals whisper prayers beneath ancient ginkgo trees.

  Next, unwind like a true Chengdu local at People's Park: sip tea while ear cleaners clink their tools nearby. Watch retirees dance to revolutionary songs under banyan trees as your guide explains Sichuan's "Three Tea Cultures".

  Opt to conclude your day with the spellbinding Sichuan Face-Changing Opera, an intangible cultural heritage where performers' colorful masks transform magically with a flick of their silk sleeves.

• Day 5: Pandas & History - Chengdu's Perfect Combo

  Get ready for a day packed with squeal-worthy moments and fascinating discoveries. Your panda dreams come true at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, where these fuzzy celebrities put on their best show - watch babies do clumsy somersaults, teens playfully wrestle over bamboo, and adults strike perfect "lazy loaf" poses.

  Pro tip: The 9 am breakfast rush is prime photo time when they're most active (and adorable).

  After filling your camera roll with black-and-white cuteness, dive into Chengdu's story at the Sanxingdui Museum, where 3,000-year-old gold masks sparkle like treasure from an Indiana Jones adventure, delicate embroidery tells silent stories in every stitch, and a life-sized old Chengdu street transports you back to days when tea sellers' calls echoed through the lanes.
