Things to do in Chengdu

Trips were interesting, have chance to experience the local culture, the beautiful of nature. drivers are thoughtful, recommend or brought us for suitable local foods and suggested change of itinerary to allow us to have more time exploring.

The 2D1N JiuZhaiGou tour package was excellent. The PIC contacted me through WeChat after the booking, and informed the necessary tour information the afternoon before. Instructions were very clear for the train journey from 成都东 to 黄龙九寨. We then met with our tour guide, Ms. 黄金花 once we reached 黄龙九寨 station. She was an excellent tour guide, providing organised and detailed information for both 黄龙 and 九寨沟 location. She was also very attentive and caring, consistently checking up on us and providing reminders throughout both locations as it was free and easy arrangement in these areas. The itinerary and additional expenses not included for the tour were accurate as described on Klook.

The local tour operator provides contact information in advance and sends detailed meeting information the day before, which is clear and easy to understand. They are also very quick to respond to any questions. Our tour guide, Ahao, was very patient, providing information about the scenic spots in the vehicle, making it easy to explore with a map. However, because it was the off-season, some walking paths were closed, so we had to adapt to the situation on the ground. The Tibetan Mystery Show was inexpensive and the performance was excellent, making it worth attending. Group meals are served family-style, and many group members don't have the concept of using serving chopsticks or spoons. It is recommended to proactively ask everyone to cooperate before eating, otherwise everyone's chopsticks will be stirring in the hot pot. Also, there are many Chinese group members, and there is a high probability that they will forcibly instill unified ideology during meals, so be prepared.

A good decision to purchase the panda research entry tickers via Klook so u need not go there to queue and buy. Klook will WhatsApp you to check which timing you like to visit, recommended to take the morning 8am slot. Because at 10am, a lot of crowd came and it’s so freaking packed and crowded (especially at the red panda area was difficult to move) the staff will check in via passport to allow your entry. Inside the park there is many food choices available and Macdonalds too. Toilets are available around the park. Please purchase the shuttle bus ride 30 yuan as it will bring you to different drop off point to see the Panda and also send you back to the exit point. What’s my take on the Panda Research Centre visit? - Basically we pay money to come here and watch different Pandas eating breakfast in different positions. HAHAHA. True story.

I must give a big thumbs up to the trip managers! They were extremely thoughtful throughout the journey, patiently answering all kinds of questions and even planning the sightseeing routes in advance to avoid backtracking, which saved us a lot of time. During the trip, they also carefully reminded everyone to keep their personal belongings with them and stay hydrated, taking care of us just like friends. There were no shopping stops or hidden tricks the entire time, making us feel really at ease. Such a great service experience has made my impression of this trip even more wonderful.

This is a great one day tour and fits well for a Chengdu itinerary for real!!! 1. I was lucky to get free pickup to the meeting point. My hotel is in Chunxi Road. 2. The tour leader explained everything clearly. 3. The bus seats are spacious and adjustable. Very comfortable. 4. I had a language barrier, but many Indonesian travelers joined the tour, so the trip felt fun. 5. I suggest spending 30 to 60 minutes at each stop. Do not stay too long at one place. This helps you explore more. 6. The higher you go, the better the view. 7. There is an extra fee for the scenic bus and electric car, around 130 RMB per person. 8. We visited on 12 January 2026, the temperature dropped to minus degrees so bring a thick coat, but it gets warmer during the day.

Our tour guide was so enthusiastic and energetic, it was the perfect energy we needed to endure the very cold, snowy weather! It was a beautiful tour and very worth it! The bus seats were also very comfortable so the long rides didn’t even feel that long. Thank you for a great experience!! Highly recommend!

Saw the pandas up close and the park wasn't overly crowded. Our driver/guide showed us around Dujiangyan, sharing the history of the place. He was patient and flexible throughout the trip. we enjoyed the experience although there was quite a bit of walking.

Came to Xiling Snow Mountain for a day trip with the kids, and they had a blast! Snowmobiles, banana boats, building snowmen – there were so many activities to choose from. The facilities in the scenic area are excellent, and there are hot drinks for sale in the rest area, so it wasn't cold at all. The tour guide followed us the whole time, helping us watch our luggage and take photos. The service was super attentive. We'll definitely come again!
