Szechuan hospitality
Our guide Helen was a mine of information and enthusiasm. Her energy was contagious as she led us to the Giant Buddha, local vibrant markets and restaurants, the giant panda base, and an unmissable theater show. Helen exemplifies the incredible warmth and hospitality of the local people. more

Our adventure was smooth. Both our guides were excellent in caring for my 88 year old mum. Seow Yak (Evan) was very attentive, personable, polite with a can do attitude. Similarly Helen in Chengdu aimed to please and was flexible. more

Suggested Itinerary
This tour is designed to be enjoyed at a relaxing pace, and will last about 5-6 hours. It is flexible, and you can start early in the morning or later at noon, whichever you prefer. Your private guide and driver will be waiting for you at the lobby of your hotel.
First we go to Jinli Ancient Street, where you can have a relaxing walk, admire the traditional-style buildings, and try various local snacks. There is so much to choose from. If you need any advice, your local guide will be on hand to say what and where you might eat.
Eventually you will reach the Heming Teahouse. It's almost 100 years old, and is situated in the peaceful outdoor courtyard of a park. There's no better way to blend in with local people's lives than this, sitting next to them and sipping a glass of local green tea.
At the end of the day, prepare to enjoy a full hotpot feast. We will arrange the hot pot with two types of soup and an array of meat, vegetables and local dishes.
After the big meal, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel for a restful evening.
