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.
