About This Trip

Chengdu is known for its laid-back lifestyle, while Jiuzhaigou Valley is celebrated for its turquoise lakes and alpine scenery. This 6-day journey brings the two together for a relaxing escape. Along the way, meet giant pandas at their most active moments, sip traditional covered-bowl tea in an open-air teahouse, and step inside a Tibetan family home to experience authentic local hospitality.

Spend the morning with beloved pandas. Get to the research base early, before the day heats up and the crowds arrive. That’s when the pandas are at their liveliest. You’ll see them eating bamboo, rolling around, and climbing up and down.

At lunchtime, gather around a bubbling hot pot and savor the bold flavors of Sichuan cuisine – spicy, numbing, savory.

Continue with a slow-paced afternoon at the People’s Park, where locals sip Gaiwan tea (covered-bowl tea), play Mahjong, and exchanging life trivia. Within the park, there is a lively matchmaking corner, where handwritten profiles line the pathways as eager parents search for suitable partners for their children – many of whom seem in no rush at all to get married themselves.

Say goodbye to Chengdu for now and embark on a 2.5-hour high-speed train which will take you travel through the fertile Chengdu Plain into the dramatic mountain valleys and alpine landscapes of western Sichuan.

On arrival, follow your guide to discover Huanglong Scenic Area, renowned for its terraced mineral pools surrounded by lush forests and snow-capped peaks. Witness the famous Five-Color Ponds shimmering in shades of blue, green, and gold as the sunlight changes.

Then, proceed with 2-hour scenic drive to Jiuzhaigou, settle into your hotel, and enjoy a peaceful night.

  • u003cemu003eu003cemu003eWe visited both Xi’an and Shanghai under Jiuhong’s arrangement and received the same first-class service in both cities. The guides were knowledgeable, flexible, and happy to discuss all aspects of modern China — giving insights difficult to obtain elsewhere. Strongly recommended.u003c/emu003eu003c/emu003e
