Yili Transparent Factory tour and experience park.
Step inside the transparent factory and witness the birth of a glass of milk firsthand — fun and educational.
As an industrial tourism attraction, Chengdu Yili Dairy Park may not be as stunning as natural scenic areas, but it excels in science education and hands-on experience, making it suitable for families and school study trips. If you happen to visit Pingle Ancient Town or Tiantai Mountain along the way, half a day is enough.

Getting There
In Detail
Chengdu Yili Dairy Park is located in the industrial cluster development zone of Linqiong Town, Qionglai City, and is an important production base of the Yili Group in Southwest China. The park features a transparent factory, where visitors can walk through viewing corridors to closely watch the modern production lines for milk, yogurt, and other dairy products, and learn the entire process from raw milk to finished goods.
As a national 3A-level tourist attraction, the park combines industrial production with tourism experiences. It has dedicated viewing corridors and exhibition areas, with guides on hand to introduce Yili's corporate culture, product lines, and quality management system. Here, visitors can not only experience the technological appeal of a modern factory but also taste freshly produced dairy products.
