Meeting Point
In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and be transferred to the Panda Breeding and Research Center.
- We will wait for you in the hotel lobby.
Day 1 the Panda Breeding and Research Center and an in-depth explore of Chengdu
In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and be transferred to the Panda Breeding and Research Center, a dwelling home to over 100 giant pandas. We will arrive here at about 9:00 a.m. when most of them are active. It is a perfect time to observe their living habits when they do different things--eating, snoozing, tumbling and climbing trees. There are also panda kindergartens and nursery rooms, where you can see many adorable baby pandas.
Day 1 An In-depth Explore of Chengdu
Afterwards, let’s enjoy a relaxing afternoon in Chengdu. The People’s Park is a good choice for you to visit as it is an epitome of Chengdu’s laid-back atmosphere. Have your ears cleaned or take a neck massage as Chengdu people usually do. When the aroma of fresh tea wafted toward you, don’t hesitate to order a cup of tea. Sitting down on a cane chair and sipping the hot tea, you can choose to take a nap or watch local people indulging themselves in playing mahjong and having casual chats. In addition, you can also have a look of the “matchmaking fair”, where you will see some interesting scenes that may only happen in Chengdu: desperate parents are posting messages to look for a partner for their unmarried sons and daughters.
Day 2 Leshan Giant Buddha
Make our way to Leshan Giant Buddha (approximately 2 hours). Leshan Giant Buddha enjoys a total height of 71 meters and boasts the reputation of the “NO.1 Buddha under Heaven”. It is constructed to bless the boatmen and enjoys a history of over 1,300 years. Besides climbing to the mountain top to have a closer look of the Giant Buddha, you can also go on a cruise to catch a panoramic view of the majestic Buddha statue. Then, let’s enjoy a delicious meal in Leshang. Afterwards, your tour guide will show you around and you can experience the lifestyle of locals.
Ending Point
After your sightseeing in Leshan, you will be transferred back to Chengdu (or send you off). If you want to extend your stay in China, we are willing to make customized tour plans for you.

“Epic Layover Experience”
I had a 16 hour layover in Chengdu and was deciding whether to tour it myself or book with a guide (it is my first time using this site). My usual option is self-exploration, but with the limited time and my limited knowledge of the language and area, I chose to go with Jason! I was not disappointed. Jason was waiting for me at the airport with a sign, a nice set of wheels, and his friendly buddy/driver, Kevin. Immediately, I was putting Jason's depth of knowledge to the test. Asking endless questions (in english), from the airport to the panda center. He navigated them smoothly, which I found foreshadowed our day together. I really enjoyed walking the panda center and learning about its history and inhabitants from Jason. He spoke with a passion for it and I could tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge. After a stellar, local lunch, I was dropped at a spot to work remote for a few hours before continuing our tour. I really appreciated this flexibility. Before dropping me back at the airport, Jason took me to a night market, where Kevin joined us for some hotpot. They both spoke on the tradition of the meal, the market, and the community and I was able to learn more about them. It was an enjoyable day and I'm glad I chose not to go it alone.
