Things to do in Chengdu

This lunch at Hong Ding Yan was the highlight of our Chengdu trip! Celebrating Chinese New Year here was truly unforgettable. The hotpot was outstanding—fresh ingredients, rich and flavorful broth, and authentic Sichuan taste that left us wanting more. The wonderful cultural performance added a strong festive atmosphere, making the whole experience both fun and immersive. The staff were warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chengdu—a perfect combination of delicious food, rich culture, and unforgettable memories!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this tour. The trip was extremely well organised and took us to many amazing areas of West Sichuan which would have been difficult to get to ourselves. Our driver Jia Wei Shi Fu was fantastic and made the long drives as comfortable and smooth as they could be. the concierge staff were also very helpful with booking our attraction tickets and extremely responsive to any questions or requests. As foreigners, we spoke only a bit of mandarin but we were able to manage using translate apps and still had a great time so I don’t think it’s an issue if you don’t speak mandarin. I can highly recommend this tour to others looking to explore this incredible part of China.

5 stars for the organization! The drivers and guides were incredibly punctual and thoughtful. Loved the balance of guided activity and free time. Even though the fog was thick and the monkeys were hiding, the team's energy kept the vibe high. Highly recommend.

The scenery in Jiuzhaigou is truly magnificent, with both snow and green forests. It feels like experiencing two seasons in one day, which is an amazing feeling! The water in Jiuzhaigou is crystal clear, almost transparent. The boardwalks, snowscapes, and 'haizi' (lakes) are all beautiful. Before I signed up, I saw a comment saying it wasn't very good, but after chatting with customer service, I decided to give it a try myself. It turned out to be quite good, and the travel agency's arrangements were very clear.

It was a very enjoyable full-day trip. Time allocated was sufficient and driver/tour guide 小熊 was accommodating and took his time to clearly explain Du Jiang Yan irrigation system to us. Highly recommended.

Quick and easy to get in with your passport. The place itself is fantastic. We saw so many pandas. Go early to see them awake and walk further into the park to get away from crowds. Plenty of pandas to see beside the famous one!

Absolute highlight of my trip to China. It was an absolute joy to observe these wonderful animals, eating, playing, walking around, tumbling, sitting on a pool of water chilling out and then the Red Pandas walking all around and even above me as they cross over the pathways! I enjoyed it so much, I looped back around the giant panda section. Brilliantly laid out peaceful walk surrounded by trees. My tip, be there when it opens. I'd happily return to visit again.

you can get in easily with your passport ID. this ancient waterworks built 2000 years ago is really amazing and benefited many generations until this day (it's still in use). highly recommend getting a guide. if u alight at dujiangyan station, there is bus and tour guide available multiple trips a day (I choose 1 way shuttlebus at 12rmb + guide at 40 RMB)

Amazing experience as I booked a VIP ticket really early (a few months prior to my trip) and was therefore sat right on the first row not even two meters away from the actors. The performances were all great, you'd better speak some Chinese/have knowledge about Chinese culture to really get everything, but even without that, I imagine that first-timers can enjoy the show as much. Turns out the mask-changing performance was not my favorite out of all the ones we saw, as I discovered many new kinds of classic Sichuan opera performances I didn't know about. This was a lovely way to spend an evening in Chengdu, I would visit again on my next trip.
