熊猫谷
Walk through a gorgeous forested valley to see giant pandas and red pandas. It is less crowded than the panda bases in Dujiangyan and Chengdu, but this is China, so it will still be far from empty. To beat the crowds, be in line at 7:30, right when it opens. Head to the red pandas first, as the walkways there are quite tight; you can then double back to see the giant pandas. If you have a Chinese phone number, you can reserve your ticket in advance through its WeChat mini-app; otherwise, you can pay at the ticket office. Bring your passport.
