Things to do in Chengdu

I never forget the journey to mountain. I have present to all my colleagues and friends, they are all love to go. But you have to prepare a really really good health before go there. Or, you can choose to stay a day before or after go to the moutain, because if you go in 1 day, it will be very tired.

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.

Emei was quite cold (single digit temperature), so remember to bring adequate clothing. Also remember to bring your own raincoat. Spent quite a significant amount of time (8+hrs) on transport as the places are far out. Also just take note that there is around 255 yuan of mandatory additional fees to be paid. Also just note that you need a certain level of fitness to go up mt emei

Our tour guide Xiao Peng has been amazing from the start to the end of tour. He shared alot of insights throughout and is very knowledgable on the history and background story of the sites that we had visited. Highly recommended to everyone to book the tour we did 😃

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.

Picked up by our driver from our hotel, very punctual and great communication beforehand. We had a language barrier so WeChat translation was used to help with sharing information and learning about each attraction with our driver. Be prepared for sudden change in weather, as it can become foggy and rainy quite easily. Otherwise, spectacular views and a great tour around Chengdu's historical and nature sites.

The experience was great starting with the amazing tour guide. She was very accommodating as we were not the most fluent in Chinese and she would explain and speak slower for us. The tour was amazingly planned out and the views were spectacular. Definitley a place everyone should go once in a lifetime. The tour has made the whole trip very memorable and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

We did the morning visit to the Panda Base and were not disappointed. All you need is a ticket, and after entering you can hire an English or Chinese guide. We got Lizzy. Her English was excellent and she was quite knowledgeable. You can easily get to the panda base using DiDi for a few dollars, so no transportation via a tour company is needed. Arrive early, so you can see the giant pandas while eating.

We were incredibly lucky to witness the breathtaking sea of clouds and the majestic four peaks at Maobiliang viewpoint—the scene was absolutely magical! The clouds were swirling around the mountain peaks like a dancing veil, creating a once-in-a-lifetime view. Shuangqiao Valley's pristine forests and snow-capped mountains were equally impressive, with every turn revealing new wonders. minutes at each location would be ideal. Nonetheless, it was an unforgettable day trip packed with stunning natural wonders.
