Chengdu Tours FAQs

“Great Customized Service”, “Trip of A Lifetime”, “Exceed All Expectations”

1.Is Jiuzhaigou Valley far from Chengdu?

Jiuzhaigou is located approximately 400 kilometers away from Chengdu, which makes it a bit of a distance but still accessible for a visit. High-speed trains have made the journey more convenient, with travel times ranging from 1.5 to 2 hours by train to the nearest station, followed by a drive of about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to reach the valley itself.

Chengdu is renowned for its spicy and savory Sichuan cuisine, which is characterized by the liberal use of garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan pepper. Popular dishes include hot pot, Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, and Dan Dan Noddles.

The duration to climb Emei Mountain can vary depending on the route and pace. Generally, it takes about 5 to 6 hours to hike from Xixiangchi Temple to the Golden Summit, which is a distance of 15km. However, there are eco-buses and cable cars available to shorten the hiking distance for those who prefer a less strenuous climb.

The time needed to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha can vary, but generally, it takes about half a day to explore the area at a leisurely pace. Visitors can choose to hike or take a boat tour to view the Buddha from the river, and there are also several temples and gardens within the park to explore.

There are several panda bases in and around Chengdu. Some of the notable ones include the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Dujiangyan Panda Base, and the Bifengxia Panda Base. Each base offers a unique experience for visitors to see and learn about these beloved animals.
