Reviews
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.
Our 6-day trip to Western Sichuan has come to a successful end, and I must wholeheartedly give our driver, Master Jinlong, a huge commendation! Along the way, we crossed snow-capped mountains and traversed plateaus. The weather was unpredictable, and road conditions were complex, especially when we encountered heavy snow, making the roads slippery and visibility low. Master Jinlong consistently drove with composure, demonstrating excellent and meticulous skills. He drove steadily and slowly, always prioritizing safety. Sitting in his car, even with the blizzard outside, we felt completely at ease. Master Jinlong is not only a skilled driver but also a warm and reliable person. When some members of our group experienced altitude sickness, he noticed immediately, helped with oxygen, and carefully looked after everyone, which deeply touched us. He also knows how to have fun—he took us to the best spots to photograph the snow mountains, showed us the starry sky late at night, and even found places where marmots appeared. These surprising moments became the most unforgettable memories of our trip. With him along, we not only felt safe but also discovered many unexpected sights and joys. Master Jinlong, thank you for your hard work these past few days! We wish you safe travels, smooth sailing in everything you do, and that you continue to show more travelers the most beautiful side of Western Sichuan 🙏 We also thank our itinerary manager for the full coordination and efficient responses. Everyone worked hard!
程师傅 was highly skilled and drove safely throughout the journey. He also adjusted to situations as needed and was very friendly and talkative. The car was comfortable as well. Overall, the trip was great. It would have been even better if we had a bit more time to stop at places along the way. As for the accommodation, everything was fine except for the last night, where there was a hygiene issue. However, the travel agency responded quickly and offered compensation. All in all, it was a pretty good experience!
We booked this 6-day small loop tour half a month in advance. The 7-seater business van for 5 people was incredibly comfortable and spacious, allowing us to recline and rest during the journey, which is crucial for long trips. The itinerary gradually increased in altitude, starting from Mount Siguniang and slowly moving towards Litang and Yading. Neither of us experienced any significant altitude sickness throughout the trip. The vehicle was equipped with an oxygen concentrator and portable oxygen tanks, which was a thoughtful detail. Choosing this Klook tour was definitely the right decision. As for the scenery, words can't describe it; every day brought new views—snow-capped mountains, grasslands, prayer flags, and forests. My phone's memory was constantly full! Highly recommended!!
Our whole family went on this 6-day tour, and everyone was very satisfied! From Maobiliang Observation Deck to Mount Siguniang, and then to Daocheng Yading, every scenic spot was enchanting. The children especially loved Moerduo Stone Park and Gulong Village, where they could take incredibly beautiful photos. The accommodations were excellent; both the 3-star and 4-star hotels were very comfortable, and the service was attentive. The horseback riding experience during the trip was also very fun, and the children absolutely loved it. The entire itinerary was very well-planned, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery without getting too tired, making it perfect for a family trip.
Itinerary: The 6-day, 5-night itinerary was well-organized. It would be nice to have more time to explore Litang. Transportation: We chose a 9-seater vehicle, which was comfortable and clean. Driver Dao's time management was excellent. Accommodation: We stayed 5 nights, and each accommodation was comfortable and included breakfast. Attractions: Each attraction was beautiful. The Four Girls Mountain scenery was bright and beautiful; Yala Snow Mountain – go horseback riding to see the lake; remember to bring sunglasses 😎 and an umbrella 🌂 to Moshi Park; the Tibetan costume photoshoot was also beautiful; the weather in Yading, Daocheng is unpredictable. Sunscreen and wet wipes are very important. There are fruits and oxygen tanks sold along the way. If you need more, you can buy them in town.
Siguniang Mountain, Daocheng Yading, Moshi Park, and secenaries on the road are all highlights of the trip. although most of the time was on the road, really worth a visit to those places.
The 6-day, 5-night trip is over, and I can't calm down my excitement for a long time. The trip to western Sichuan is really worth it. Starting from Chengdu, I was accompanied by beautiful scenery all the way. There is no need to retouch the scenery. Every frame is beautiful enough to be used as a screensaver. We are a small group of 6 people in a car. We get along very well. Everyone is of similar age, and we have topics to talk about and can take care of each other. The driver Feng is considerate and has great driving skills. He gave us a lot of suggestions worth referring to throughout the trip. The rooms booked by the travel agency are also comfortable, much better than the environment in western Sichuan I imagined. In short, I am really satisfied with this trip.
We had a wonderful Sichuan trip. Our driver was very experienced and friendly. The trip was well arranged, and we had enough time to explore the places. The highlights of the trip were Siguniang Mountain and Daocheng Yading. We were lucky to have good weather and enjoyed the beautiful views. The travel agency was very responsive to our messages and always helpful. We had a great experience and highly recommend them. one suggestion is to put in a remarks if you want non smoking room during the trip
After my trip, I have 500 new photos in my album! Every place was beautiful; the scenery in Sichuan has a delicate yet vibrant beauty. Every part of the journey offered stunning views, and my phone's storage was truly running low. I also want to mention the customer service. Before I even signed up, Mr. Yu explained everything very clearly online. And during the trip, Master Yang Biao took great care of us. I'm very grateful. The entire journey was wonderful, and the experience was excellent.
