Itinerary

Your day in Chengdu begins with a warm welcome by our well-trained driver and tour guide, who will meet you at your hotel lobby, train station, or Chengdu airport, ready to start today’s adventure.

Your first stop is Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base. This is a must-see for any panda lover, offering a close-up look at these beloved creatures in their natural habitat. After the panda base, head to People’s Park to get a glimpse of local life. Enjoy the serene atmosphere, watch locals practicing Tai Chi, or participate in a tea ceremony in one of the traditional teahouses. 

Savor a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can taste authentic Sichuan cuisine, known for its bold flavors and spicy kick.

In the afternoon, visit the Wenshu Temple, one of the most important Buddhist temples in Chengdu. Explore the temple’s peaceful grounds and learn about its history and cultural significance. Stroll down Jinli Street, a bustling pedestrian street filled with shops, street food vendors, and traditional performances. It’s the perfect place to try local snacks and souvenir shopping.

After dinner, transfer to the hotel and rest of the day will be your leisure time.

Our well-trained guide and driver will pick you up at 08:00 am in your hotel lobby. Enjoy a breathtaking drive to the Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest carved stone Buddha in the world. This colossal statue stands 71 meters tall and is a marvel of ancient Chinese engineering and religious devotion. Take a leisurely walk around the site, and if you’re up for it, climb the steps to the top for a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

After marveling at the Leshan Giant Buddha, refuel with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Indulge in the flavors of Sichuan cuisine, famous for its spicy dishes and rich tastes.

In the afternoon, travel to the charming Huanglongxi Ancient Town. This well-preserved town offers a glimpse into the past with its traditional architecture, cobblestone streets, and local handicrafts. Stroll along the river, visit the ancient temples, and perhaps try some local snacks.

Drive back to Chengdu, transfer to the Hotel after dinner, relax & refresh.

Your morning starts with a visit to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. Located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Dujiangyan Irrigation System is not only a world-famous ancient Chinese irrigation project, but also a famous scenic area. It was originally built in from about 256 BC to 251 BC under the leading of Li Bing (302 – 235 BC).

Depart Dujiangyan after lunch and transfer to Mt.Qingcheng.

Declared as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000, Qingcheng Mountain offers old Taoist temples with hundreds of pieces of plants to explore.

As the day winds down, relax on the return journey to Chengdu and transfer to Chengdu Airport to take a flight to a third country (arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure).
