There is a big panda reserve just outside Chengdu. We flew into Chengdu and did Leshan to Emei Shan and back to Chengdu. We hiked up Emei Shan which is 3ooometres and 40,000 steps or something and stayed in a monastery overnight before heding for the top. You have to be pretty fit or have good stamina!
Leshan is stunning if only for the buddha.
The main advantage of course is that you get to eat sichuan food all day everyday- it is sooo good and sooo cheap!
Not the best photos- but the rest are on another machine...
