Top Southwest China Theme Parks

Home to artefacts from China’s ancient Shu civilization, which flourished more than 3,000 years ago, the Sanxingdui Museum is a must for fans of Chinese history. It’s slow and fiddly to reach by public transport, but this private tour makes it easy—and stops at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding too. With transfers but no guide or entrance fees, it’s perfect for travelers who value independence.
