Overview
What this day is
Two UNESCO-grade sights sit two hours apart, which is why most visitors give them separate days and lose one of those days to driving. Starting at 07:00 is what makes the single day work: you reach the Panda Base for the morning feed, when the animals are actually awake and out, and Leshan by early afternoon with enough time to take the cliff stairway down past the Buddha instead of photographing it from the platform. It is a long day — twelve and a half hours — and it ends centrally at Tianfu Square.

Good to know
- Pick-up covers downtown hotels inside the 2nd ring only. Send the hotel name when you book so we can confirm it.
- Lunch is the one meal not included on this day.
- The 07:00 start is not padding — the pandas are active for the morning feed and much less so afterwards.
- The day ends at Tianfu Square around 19:30, not back at your hotel.
