Detailed Tour Itinerary:


Following the visit to the Chengdu Panda Base, you’ll arrive back into Chengdu City in the early afternoon. Thereafter, you’ll experience a Chengdu City Tour by visiting some of the City’s most famous attractions.
The afternoon tour will commence with a visit to People’s Park (人民公园), which is a local park very popular among local Chengdu citizens. It’s a great place to stopover and people -watch! After People’s Park, the next attraction is Wenshu Temple (文殊院), which is the best preserved buddhist temple within Chengdu. This will be followed with a visit to Jinli Pedestrian Street (锦里古街) – Chengdu Cit’s walking street, before being transferred to your hotel for an evening at leisure.

Day 2 – Stay overnight in ChengduFor the second day, you’ll also meet your guide and driver at 8:00 am at your Chengdu Hotel Lobby. After meeting, you’ll be transferred to the famous Leshan Giant Buddha (乐山大佛). From Chengdu City to Leshan, it takes approximately 2 x hours to get there. Within the tour, we propose (and recommend) visitors to see the Leshan Giant Buddha from boat as opposed to walking up.
The reason we propose the visit to the Leshan Giant Buddha via boat is because the pathways walking up to the Buddha can become extremely busy with substantial queues common but we can accommodate if you’d prefer to walk. This attraction is one of Chengdu (and Sichuan Province’s) symbols and is a must-see during your visit to Chengdu.



Following your visit to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, you’ll be transferred directly to what’s considered to be the birthplace of Taoism – Mount Qingcheng. After arriving at Mount Qing, at approxmately 1:00 pm, you’ll commence your walk up the Mountain.
Along the way you’ll learn interesting facts and some history of Taoism from your guide, appreciate the stunning natural beauty and visit several Taoist temples . The peak of Mount Qingcheng offers incredible scenic views overlooking the surrounding area, Dujiang Irrigation System and Himalaya Mountains! Thereafter, return transfer to your hotel in Chengdu to conclude your tour. END OF TOUR.
