Attractions(Cities): Chengdu Panda Research Base, People's Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley
Tour Style:One day, one private car, and an English-speaking local guide who has already booked every ticket on the list. Mornings start early at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding so you catch the pandas while they are still active; after that, the pace slows to a hillside teahouse in Renmin Park, gaiwan jasmine tea in hand. Between the two you walk Jinli's lantern-lit lane and finish in Kuanzhai Alley, where restored Qing courtyards now sit alongside small shops and tea rooms. Pick-up and drop-off match your schedule — a Chengdu hotel, a train station, or the airport.
Duration:8 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base, Leshan Giant Buddha
Tour Style:Two UNESCO-listed sights on one private day out of Chengdu. The morning starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding while the animals are still active in the cool hours, then the driver takes you south along the expressway to Leshan, where a 71-metre stone Buddha carved between 713 and 803 AD still stands at the junction of three rivers. Walk the Nine Bends Plank Road, take the river boat, or do both. English-speaking local guide, private air-conditioned car with an experienced driver, Panda Base and Leshan tickets included, hotel, train station, or airport pick-up.
Duration:2 Days, 1 Night
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Panda Base, Renmin Park, Wuhou Temple, Jinli Street, Wenshu Monastery, Chengdu Museum, Tianfu Square
Tour Style:This two-day private tour moves between the old and new faces of Chengdu at your own pace. Day 1 starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning, when the pandas are feeding, then takes in the teahouse scene at Renmin Park, the Three Kingdoms shrines of Wuhou Temple, and the snack stalls and craft shops of Jinli Ancient Street. Day 2 covers the Buddhist halls of Wenshu Monastery, the collections of the Chengdu Museum, and the modern plaza at Tianfu Square. A private car and an English-speaking guide carry you between all of them, with pickup from your hotel, train station, or the airport, and the daily order flexes if you want longer at the panda base or a slower teahouse stop. Lunch is left open so your guide can point you to local kitchens rather than tourist menus.
Duration:8-9 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain
Tour Style:This day trip pairs two UNESCO-listed sights west of Chengdu: the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Qingcheng Mountain. A private car and driver collect you from your hotel, train station, or the airport and stop first at Dujiangyan, where an English-speaking guide walks you through the 256 BC waterworks that Li Bing and his son built without a dam, still carrying Min River water onto the Chengdu plain after more than 2,000 years. You see the Fish Mouth levee, Flying Sand Reef, and Bottle Neck channel up close. After lunch you drive to Qingcheng Mountain, a founding site of Taoism, and take the cable car and stone paths past the front-mountain temples. Lunch is left out on purpose so your guide can point you to a local Sichuan kitchen; pace, photo stops, and vegetarian or lighter requests are easy to adjust on a private tour.
Duration:3 Days 2 Nights
Attractions(Cities):Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Renmin Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley
Tour Style:This three-day private tour pairs Chengdu with two mountain and heritage sights. Day one covers the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in the morning, then Renmin Park teahouse, Jinli Ancient Street, and Kuanzhai Alley. Day two drives about two hours to the 71-metre Leshan Giant Buddha, seen from the cliff path or a Dadu River boat, then on to an overnight at the foot of Mount Emei. Day three rises by eco-bus and cable car to the Golden Summit at 3,077 metres and the old temples before the return to Chengdu. A private car, driver, and English-speaking guide handle tickets and transfers, and pick-up and drop-off run from your Chengdu hotel, station, or airport.
