At 08:30 am in the morning, your guide will pick you up from your Chengdu hotel lobby and drive around 20 minutes to Panda Breeding and Research Center to see those adorable pandas from babies to adults. You will have an option of holding a cute panda for photos with an advanced reservation and a donation (RMB$2,000) to the base for its research projects which you are encouraged to do as it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold a baby panda bear in your arms.
Next, visit Jinli Street, one of the oldest commercial streets in Chinese history. Established over 1,800 years ago during the early Qin and Han dynasties, Jinli Street still preserves many of the ancient architectural styled shops till today. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. After lunch, make a short visit to the Brocade Museum, where you will learn about interesting brocade culture from ancient times.
After that, move onto Chengdu Renmin Park, the biggest and most impressive park in Chengdu founded 1,800 years ago. After the park visit, you will be transferred back to your hotel where this tour concludes.
This was one of the best trips I have been on in years. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind the Chinese people were. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, and probably one of the most knowledgeable I’ve ever had! Nothing was ever too big or too small for him and he’d always recommend additional activities in our spare time. China is like no other Southeast Asia country, and its vast development is fascinating! You get to see the modern day, China, as well as the old historic sites. If you enjoy your food, you will not be disappointed by the options on this trip what makes it even better if you only pay about 6 pounds for a huge dinner!!

Home to the iconic Panda, China's Sichuan province offers sumptuous cuisine and treasured regional culture. But go deeper into this ancient land, and you'll find legends of sacred mountains and rivers, interwoven with the ancient lore of China's cultivation culture. Let these secrets come to light as you cycle through wild countryside and get a feel for the real Sichuan.
This action-packed tour of Chengdu starts off with the first highlight - the Dujiangyan Panda Valley. The famous Panda centre offers refuge and doting for these magnificent, rare animals with rearing and breeding programmes. These giant pandas are the symbol of China, and the research centre provides education and raises awareness of the plight of these great creatures and their environment.
Our tour then moves on to discover the history of two ancient towns. Then it’s on to Mengding Mountain, famous for its tea culture where we take a walk in the Mengdingshan Royal Tea Gardens: a delight with its atmospheric pavilions and walking paths. China’s tea growing history can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. Reputed to be the birthplace of Chinese tea cultivation, tea trees planted at Mengding by a herdsman are believed to be the very beginning of China's tea history.
We next visit UNESCO Heritage listed Mount Emei, one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China and traditionally regarded as a place of enlightenment. The unsurpassed views are one of the great spectacles of Mount Emei and is yet another high point of the tour in all senses of the word! The ride then follows the river to the town of many temples, Leshan. Our last day of the tour takes us on a walk through bamboo forests and to Huang Long Xi, a picturesque town where many Chinese movies have been filmed.

I was able to remain in direct contact with the tour company and be sure of our plans for the day. The tour guide picked us up right at our door and spoke amazing English. The driver was also very kind. We had a great time, and the lunch was phenomenal! Would definitely recommend.
