When you stay at Anyee Xinliang Grand Hotel (Chengdu Chunxi Road Taikoo Li) — located at No. 246 Upper East Street Section, East Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan 610016 — you’re not just immersed in the vibrant urban energy of one of China’s most dynamic cities; you’re also perfectly positioned to embark on unforgettable nature and wildlife journeys that showcase the breathtaking diversity of Western Sichuan.
While Chengdu dazzles with its world-class shopping, fiery cuisine, and rich cultural heritage, it is also a gateway to some of the most iconic natural wonders in Asia. From the beloved giant pandas that call Chengdu home to the snow-draped peaks and crystal-clear lakes of alpine wonderlands, your stay offers the perfect balance between city comfort and wild adventure.
Let us guide you through two must-visit destinations for nature lovers: the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and the majestic Bipenggou Scenic Area, both easily accessible from your base at Anyee Xinliang Grand Hotel.
🐼 Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding: A Global Treasure Just 30 Minutes Away
No trip to Chengdu is complete without meeting its most famous residents — the adorable giant pandas. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, located approximately 10 kilometers northeast of downtown Chengdu, is a globally recognized conservation center dedicated to the breeding, research, and protection of this endangered species.
A visit here isn’t just a photo opportunity — it’s an educational journey into the life, diet, and behavior of these gentle bamboo-eaters. With over 80 pandas residing across spacious enclosures, the base offers an intimate look at their daily routines, from playful cubs tumbling in grassy yards to adults lounging lazily in trees or munching on fresh bamboo shoots.
Why Visit in the Morning?
Pandas are most active during the cooler hours of the day, especially between 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM, when they’re typically feeding. This makes early morning visits ideal to witness them at their most lively and photogenic. By midday, many will be resting or napping — a reminder of their famously relaxed lifestyle.
The base features several key areas:
- Adult Panda Enclosures: Spacious outdoor habitats where adult pandas roam freely.
- Panda Nursery: Home to adorable cubs born through the center’s successful breeding program.
- Red Panda Valley: Don’t miss this charming section dedicated to the smaller, tree-dwelling red pandas, equally playful and endearing.
- Educational Exhibits: Learn about panda biology, habitat preservation, and global conservation efforts.
Getting There from Anyee Xinliang Grand Hotel
From the hotel, reaching the Panda Base is simple:
- By Taxi or Didi: Takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on traffic. Cost: ~CNY 80–120.
- Public Transit: Take Metro Line 3 to Zhongba Station, then transfer to Bus No. 198 or shuttle buses specifically for tourists heading to the base.
Guests appreciate the ease of access: “Location is great too, cross the bridge and you are into Chunxi average to mid-level shopping area,” shared a recent visitor, highlighting how seamlessly the city connects to its natural attractions.
Our front desk staff can assist with directions, transportation booking, and even provide translation tools if needed — ensuring a smooth and stress-free excursion.
⛰️ Bipenggou Scenic Area: An Alpine Paradise Within Reach
For travelers seeking dramatic mountain landscapes, pristine forests, and serene alpine lakes, Bipenggou Scenic Area is a hidden gem nestled in the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, about 250 kilometers northwest of Chengdu. Often described as “China’s version of Switzerland,” Bipenggou offers a refreshing escape into high-altitude wilderness, making it a perfect day trip or weekend getaway.
This stunning national park spans over 50 square kilometers and features:

How to Get to Bipenggou from Anyee Xinliang Grand Hotel
While Bipenggou requires a longer journey, it’s well worth the adventure:
- By Public Bus:
- Depart from Chadianzi Passenger Transport Station (approx. 45 min taxi ride from the hotel).
- Buses run regularly to Lixian County, the gateway to Bipenggou (~3–4 hours).
- From Lixian, take a local shuttle or hire a private car to reach the scenic area entrance.
- By Private Tour or Car Rental:
- Many guests opt for organized tours available through travel agencies or book a private driver via Didi.
