Be ready to be amazed! The five-day tour will ignite your sense of wanderlust!
It provides you a chance to relive the history and gives you an opportunity to embrace the nature as well.
This tour covers visits to Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Songpan Ancient City, Tai Koo Li, Jiuzhai Valley, Huanglong, and the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base.
Your driver and tour guide will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to your hotel in Chengdu.
If you arrive in the morning, your guide can show you around after your checking-in.
Chengdu is known as an inclusive city where you can discover a captivating blend of the fast-paced life and the laid-back life. The place we recommend, Tai Koo Li, is suitable for you who don’t have much time but want to quickly understand the true uniqueness of Chengdu. On the one hand, Tai Koo Li is the most fashionable place in Chengdu, blessed with numerous Western and Chinese brands, enchanting restaurants, luxury stores, and so much more; on the other hand, just by the side of prosperous street stands a peaceful and majestic temple, namely Daci Temple (Temple of Great Mercy), where you can have a glimpse of the Buddhist culture, pray for happiness and wisdom, and feel the peace and tranquility. It is the most time-smart attraction for you who have only a half day here.
Today we will head to Jiuzhai Valley. During the long journey, we will go through Dujiangyan and Songpan Ancient City.
In one hour after departure, we will arrive at Dujiangyan, the oldest and only surviving no-dam irrigation system in the world. The project is scientifically designed to automatically control the water flow of the rivers from the mountains to the plains throughout the year, thus making Chengdu Plain “the Land of Abundance”. While sightseeing, you can know how the huge project is built and how it works.
After five hours, we will reach Songpan Ancient City, an important garrison in the Tang Dynasty, which witnesses the integration of Tibetan and Han and is known for the marriage between Wencheng Princess （a princess in Tang Dynasty） and Songtsen Gampo （a ruler of Tubo Dynasty）. Wandering through the ancient city, you can feel its unique charm with not only the features of Tibetan Culture but the beauty of Hui （an ethnic minority in China）.
About two hours later, we will reach the destination-Jiuzhai Valley.
The day is all for the sightseeing in Jiuzhai Valley. In order to avoid crowding, you’d better get up early. The transport facilities here are convenient, and you can take tour buses to get to almost all the attractions. Today, we are going to visit Shuzheng Valley, Rize Valley and Zechawa Valley one by one and enjoy the dense forests, snow-capped mountains, dazzling ponds along the way.
In this morning, we will drive two and a half hours to Huanglong Valley where there lies one of three most splendid travertine lake terraces in the world.
The reason why it is named Huanglong ( which means yellow dragon in Chinese) valley is that the lake terrace here is like a Yellow dragon with showy scales if you look down from the Snow Treasure Mountain.
Upon arrival, let’s have a wonderful sightseeing of Huanglong. Taking a cable car uphill, you can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the beautiful scenery. Upon arriving the mountain top, you can have a view of the Five-Color Ponds composed of 693 ponds of different colors and shapes. Walking downhill, you can immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery of snow mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, etc.
After that, we will drive six hours back to Chengdu.
Today, we will pay a visit to the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base and have a close encounter with adorable pandas. Hopefully, we can catch the best time and witness these highly endangered animals feeding. It is a time-smart visit for you to understand pandas’ physical features and living habits.
After your tour in the panda base, we will escort you back to your hotel or send you off. If you want to extend your stay in China, we are willing to make customized tour plans for you.
