Overview
Nestled in the scenic city of Dujiangyan—just an hour’s drive from downtown Chengdu—Chengdu Sunac Land is a sprawling 515,000-square-meter theme park that masterfully fuses regional history, ethnic culture, and modern entertainment. Designed around six immersive themed zones—Tianfu Shua Du, Shu-Han Epic, Tibetan-Qiang Mystique, Stellar Odyssey, Enchanted Garden, and Petville—the park offers over 24 major attractions, dazzling live shows, authentic Sichuan cuisine, and interactive animal experiences, making it a true all-ages destination for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Tianfu Shua Du: A Whimsical Glimpse into Old Chengdu
Step into Tianfu Shua Du, a cartoon-inspired recreation of ancient Chengdu’s bustling merchant streets. This charming zone captures the laid-back spirit of Sichuan through playful architecture, quirky shops, and live cultural performances like face-changing (Bian Lian) and fire-spitting—a hallmark of local opera. Visitors can stroll leisurely along cobbled lanes, sip jasmine tea at a traditional teahouse, or simply soak in the relaxed “slow life” ethos that defines the region.
Shu-Han Epic: Relive the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
History meets adrenaline in the Shu-Han Epic zone, dedicated to the legendary era of the Three Kingdoms. Here, the star attraction is “Extreme Velocity,” a dual-launch roller coaster stretching 1,314 meters through mountainous terrain—its length symbolizing “forever” in Chinese (1314 = “一生一世”). Reaching speeds up to 105 km/h, it simulates the sensation of a Boeing 747 takeoff as it rockets past simulated battlefields, ancient city walls, and canyon drops. Complementing this are immersive experiences like the Dragon Boat Pirate Ship (a Three Kingdoms–themed swinging ship), the whimsical Kongming Lantern ride (“Air Dance”), and interactive games such as “Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats,” bringing classic tales to life.
Tibetan-Qiang Mystique: Adventure Through Ethnic Highlands
Inspired by the cultures of Tibet and Qiang ethnic minorities, this zone transports guests into a world of mountain villages, sacred forests, and hidden valleys. The flagship “Sky Road Adventure” is a multi-million-dollar VR-enhanced dark ride that simulates a journey from western Sichuan to Lhasa, blending real sets with 6D motion effects for a truly immersive trek across the Himalayas. Families can also enjoy the gentle “Family Coaster” weaving through dragon-bone ruins and cliffside villages, or brave the “Mystic Rapids”—a white-water rafting adventure past colorful monasteries and wildlife habitats. Don’t miss the “Mystic Giant Swing,” a pendulum ride so intense that most riders reportedly keep their eyes shut!
Stellar Odyssey: Journey Beyond the Stars
For sci-fi enthusiasts, the Stellar Odyssey zone offers a futuristic escape. Its crown jewel is the “Flight Theater,” a suspended dome-screen flying cinema that takes guests on a cinematic voyage over Sichuan’s landscapes and into the mysteries of Sanxingdui—an ancient Bronze Age civilization. With wind, mist, and dynamic motion seats, the experience feels astonishingly real. Nearby, “Soaring Skies” simulates astronaut training with a soaring flight simulator, while the “Stellar Club” uses real-time motion capture to let visitors interact with cosmic projections in a high-tech indoor playground.
Enchanted Garden: A Wonderland for Young Explorers
Designed like a storybook come to life, the Enchanted Garden features oversized flora and fauna, purple wisteria tunnels, and giant clover arches. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, it’s perfect for younger children. Highlights include the elegant double-decker “Time Carousel,” the bouncy “Super Frog” jumper, and the spinning “Whirlwind Chairs” set beside musical fountains. The “Tree Cinema” invites kids inside a giant talking tree to hear magical tales, while rides like “Ladybug Coaster” and “Insect Bumper Cars” ensure endless giggles.
Petville: Where Animals Steal the Show
Packed with furry and feathered friends, Petville is a paradise for animal lovers. Meet alpacas at the Alpaca Farm, cheer on racing pigs at the Pig Sports Field, or cuddle dwarf horses at the Mini Ranch. The zone’s standout ride is “Rapid Rescue,” the world’s first duck-themed log flume featuring a 20-meter plunge past animated firefighting scenes and terraced hillsides—guaranteed to drench you in fun! Afterward, catch a performance at the Town Theater, where trained dogs, parrots, and even pandas (in adjacent exhibits) showcase their talents.
Spectacular Shows & Cultural Performances
Chengdu Sunac Land shines after dark with two must-see productions. The “Sun Bird Lake Show” is a high-tech water spectacle on a central lake, combining fire effects, dynamic fountains, 3D water screens, and projections that narrate Sichuan’s ancient civilizations—with the iconic Golden Sun Bird (a symbol from the Jinsha Site) rising dramatically from the water. By day, the “Triumphant Steed Parade” features a colossal 8.4-meter-tall mechanical horse—weighing 40 tons and capable of lifelike movements like blinking and neighing—leading a procession of Shu-Han dancers, wooden oxen, and glowing floats through the park.
Convenience & Accessibility
Beyond rides and shows, the park excels in guest comfort. Free stroller and wheelchair rentals (with refundable deposits), five nursing rooms, full Wi-Fi coverage, and 13 clean restrooms ensure a stress-free visit. A convenient internal shuttle train loops between major zones, while ample parking—including a 7,500+ space smart garage—makes arrival seamless. Dining options range from spicy Sichuan street snacks to kid-friendly meals, all served in thematically designed restaurants.
