Hi, I’m Cade InChengdu, a professional tour guide often helps visitors from all over the world customize their trips in Chengdu and Sichuan. If you’re planning a trip to Chengdu and feel a bit confused about how things work here - don’t worry, that’s exactly where I come in. I help travelers explore Chengdu (and beyond) in a simple and relaxed way. No complicated plans, no rushing around - just a smooth trip where everything actually works. - Wanna visit Chengdu but don’t know how to plan it properly? - Want to see the pandas without wasting half your day in queues? - Need help figuring out trains, tickets, or how to get around? - Or just prefer having someone local to make things easier? That’s basically what I do. Most of my clients are not looking for a “tour guide with a flag”, but someone who can: - plan your route properly and make the most of your time - help you avoid common travel problems and tourist traps - stay away from overly crowded tourist spots when possible - experience the real local culture, not just the surface - keep everything transparent with no hidden costs - make the whole trip feel easy and smooth I’m flexible with plans, so whether you already have an idea or have no clue where to start, we can figure it out together. Just send me a message and tell me what you’re thinking.

Hi, I'm Amy. Born and raised in Chengdu, I've been designing custom travel experiences for international visitors since 2011. I help travellers, families, and business groups explore China on their own terms — whether that's sipping tea in a hidden garden, visiting a UNESCO World Heritage site, or connecting with local business leaders. Every itinerary I create is built from scratch around your interests, pace, and curiosity. What I Offer: Cultural Immersion — Go beyond the guidebook. Meet local artisans, visit family-run workshops, and experience traditions most tourists never see: tea ceremonies with masters, Sichuan opera backstage, and hands-on crafts like bamboo weaving and silk-making. Nature & Scenery — From Chengdu's giant pandas to Zhangjiajie's limestone peaks, I know the best routes, the best times to visit, and the quiet spots away from the crowds. Study Tours & Business Visits — I arrange factory visits, industry meetings, and cultural exchange programmes for universities, professional groups, and corporate teams across China. I handle logistics so you can focus on the connections. Family & Private Groups — Travelling with children or older family members? I design flexible, comfortable itineraries that work for everyone. Why Choose Me? I'm not just a guide — I'm your local partner. I've spent years building relationships with drivers, hoteliers, restaurant owners, and cultural practitioners across China. When you travel with me, you get more than a planned route — you get someone who cares about the details, listens to what you actually want, and adapts when things change. Whether it's your first time in China or your tenth, I'll help you see it in a way that feels personal, genuine, and memorable. Let's start planning. Send me a message and tell me what you're looking for.

“Breathtaking scenic trip to Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou ”
We booked a 2-day trip to Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou in late October 2026. Our guide, Cade, is very knowledgeable, caring, patient with a great sense of humour. He also spoke excellent English. Our tour started on time and everything was well organised. We loved how he took us to the many beautiful and breathtaking spots in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou which we would never have found ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, in no small part due to Cade’s expert care and guidance. We highly recommend Cade to anyone visiting Chengdu.
