There are also major ancient construction plans, such as the Qin Dujiangyan project near Chengdu.” Noting that Chengdu's world-famous cute giant pandas are bred at four bases in Chengdu, Erbaş said, “Of these, Dujiangyan, Wolong and Bifengxia Giant Panda Base are very famous. Those who go here can not only see pandas, but also volunteer to take care of them.” Stating that there are high altitude national parks such as Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong in Sichuan, Erbaş said, “These places offer magnificent natural beauties to travelers. Most of the Sichuan plains are suitable for visits in all seasons of the year. Sichuan also offers its visitors the opportunity to experience Tibetan culture.
