Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Chengdu

On your arrival in Chengdu, you will be met at the airport or the railway station by your guide who will take you to the pre-booked four or five star inner city hotel. Spend the rest of the day exploring this tasty city.

Meals included: None

Day 2 - Chengdu – Leshan – Mount Emei

Following an enjoyable breakfast, the bustle of the city will be left behind as you are driven to the Leshan Giant Buddha. A boat ride takes you closer to the Buddha, carved from the sandstone cliff. You will then understand why the ancient Chinese took 90 years to finish the project. Details of the Buddha and legendary stories of the structure will be revealed by your guide.

Following a one hour drive, you will arrive at Mount Emei, famous for panoramic natural scenery as part of the Sichuan basin, as well as Buddhist culture. Rest at the mountain foot overnight and refresh for the next day’s exploration.

Day 3 - Mount Emei – Chengdu

Continue to breathe the fresh air and follow your guide to explore Emei Mountain.
An excursion bus will take you to the cable car station, where a cable car will transport you up the mountain to the famous Wannian Monastery, where Puxian Pusa (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva) is worshipped. This brick shrine without beams, built 1600 years ago, is an engineering wonder. A walk down the mountain on foot offers an opportunity to enjoy the wonderful scenery on the way to the famous Baoguo Temple, the largest temple of Emei Mountain. Savor the tranquility walking through the old buildings in the fragrance of incense. Your Buddhism and natural beauty exploration tour concludes with a 2.5 hour drive back to the hotel in Chengdu.

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 4 - Chengdu

An exciting day begins when our driver and guide pick you up from the hotel to travel to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Pandas. There you will learn the origin and habits of these giant bears, see baby pandas at play in the infant area and delivery room and gain an insight into the daily life of these amazing creatures. Wonderful photo opportunities abound to record your unique experience with such rare animals.

Be further enchanted with a walk down Jinli Street. Savor 2,000 years of commerce in the market where you can try different kinds of Sichuan food and snacks, buy various local crafts and bargain like the locals.

Take a leisurely stroll exploring the Wangjiang Pavilion Park with its cluster of centuries old pavilions and memorials and wander the bamboo groves with a vast variety of species. Get a real taste of Chengdu style leisure when you relax in a teahouse with a cup of tea. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to the hotel.

Meals included: Breakfast

Tripadvisor score Great tour with Linda in Beijing

June 2025 • Friends

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

Tripadvisor score The only way to visit China!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
