Most Chengdu tours follow the same script. This one adds what
the others leave out.

Yes, you'll meet giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base —
but you'll arrive early morning, when the pandas are at their
most active and the crowds are thinnest. Your local guide knows
exactly where to stand for the best moments.

Day 2 takes you to the Leshan Giant Buddha — the largest stone
Buddha in the world, carved into a cliff above the confluence of
three rivers. But the day doesn't end there. You continue to
Huanglongxi Ancient Town, a perfectly preserved Qing Dynasty
watertown of stone bridges, wooden teahouses, and quiet canals
that most Chengdu tours never reach.

Back in Chengdu, Wenshu Temple offers a living slice of local
Buddhist life surrounded by antique shops and incense-filled
courtyards. And People's Park — the real social heart of Chengdu
— is where you'll settle into a bamboo chair at a century-old
teahouse and watch the city move at its own relaxed pace.

Small group. Local English-speaking guide. All entrance fees,
daily breakfast, comfortable hotels, and airport drop-off
included. This is Chengdu as it actually feels.
