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.

“Beautiful Pandas and Historical water irrigation town”
We booked a day tour to the Panda Valley & Dujiangyan Ancient water town with our guide Cade. The trip was made better by Cade’s great local knowledge. We were lucky as a few giant pandas were active munching on bamboo shoots and red pandas roaming in the tree canopy and forest floor. Walking across Anlan suspension bridge and looking at the view from Qinyan Tower was unforgettable. Highly recommended! An informative and incredible day out. Huge thanks to our guide, Cade for making it a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable day!

“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.
