We are coming back to Chengdu next time
We have had a great couple of days based in Chengdu with Evan from China Highlights. We have been well looked after, being collected and dropped off at the rail station and airport.Evan was very knowledgeable at each site but was fantastic at getting us to the best panda enclosures or the best positions to see the Buddhas. He was very flexible in arranging activities and took us to some great restaurants. We found the weather in March to be just right, mild and dry, slightly overcast cloud, so very comfortable and great light for pictures. more

Known as Chengdu's most attractive bookstore, Zhongshuge Bookstore uses mirrored ceilings to create an expansive, Hogwarts-like haven ideal for photography enthusiasts.
Though both are giant projects, the Great Wall no longer serves its original purpose and remains as historic ruins. In contrast, the Dujiangyan irrigation system, over 2,000 years since its inception, continues to protect against floods and irrigate the fertile Chengdu Plain. Visit this place to uncover the secrets of this magnificent project.
Finally, take photos of the giant selfie panda sculpture in Yangtianwo Square and back to Chengdu.
The Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage site, stands as the world's largest stone statue at an impressive 71 meters. This stunning work of art and faith has a rich history of over 1,200 years.
We offer two viewing options to visit the Giant Buddha: a boat tour, which allows you to appreciate the full view of the Buddha and take photos, or a walking tour, offering a closer look at the intricate details of the sculpture.
After the visit, you will be transported to a hotel in Mount Emei in preparation for the following day.
Mount Emei, another World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, offers stunning natural scenery and a plethora of temples that provide insight into Buddhist culture. Its Golden Summit is known for providing the opportunity to witness four natural wonders: sunrise, the sea of clouds, Buddha's light, and the holy light.
Take a sightseeing bus and after a half-hour walk, take a cable car to Mount Emei's Golden Summit. As you hike, you'll see many naughty wild monkeys–keep an eye on your bags and pockets, as they might snatch your food or belongings!
After the tour, retreat in your private vehicle to Chengdu City.
