Nihao! Welcome to Chengdu, the Hometown of Giant Pandas! Our team will be ready for you when you arrive in Chengdu. Enjoy a trouble-free transfer to your hotel. The rest of today is yours to relax in panda city on your own.
Arrival Ideas:
Chengdu is well connected by air and high-speed rail. Two airports serve the city: Shuangliu and Tianfu - with many international and domestic flights. High-speed trains connect Chengdu to Xi'an (3-4 hours), Chongqing (1.5-2 hours), Guiyang (3.5-4.5 hours), and Kunming (6-6.5 hours).
You are welcome to ask your tour guide for some useful tips to spend your free time based on your time and interest.

Morning: Chengdu Panda Base
Meet your guide early in the hotel lobby. Pandas are most active in the cool morning hours, so an early start is worth it.
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is home to over 100 pandas of all ages. Watch them climb, eat, nap, and play. In autumn, you might spot pink newborn cubs in the nursery houses. Look for the famous pandas-Hua Hua, the nation's favorite, and Zhi Ma, the mascot for the World University Games.
Red pandas roam nearby-smaller, rarer, and just as charming. If you're interested in birds, the base has become a spot for urban birding. Follow your guide through the Panda Museum (free, reservation needed, closed Mondays).
Afternoon: Leshan Giant Buddha
After lunch, drive about 2.5 hours to Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Heritage site. At 71 meters tall, it's the largest stone Buddha in the world. Carved into a cliff face 1,200 years ago, it overlooks the confluence of three rivers.
Take a boat trip (20-30 minutes) for the best view. From the water, you can see the full scale of the Buddha-his shoulders span 28 meters, each ear is 7 meters long. Locals say, "The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain."
After the tour, drive back to Chengdu and your hotel.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
Morning: Train to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station
Your guide will escort you to Chengdu East Railway Station for the high-speed train to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station (about 1.5-2 hours). Upon arrival, our team will meet you and drive 30-40 minutes to Huanglong National Park.
Afternoon: Huanglong National Park
Huanglong means "Yellow Dragon" - named for the terraced limestone pools that wind down the valley like a golden dragon. This UNESCO site is known for its travertine formations, snow-capped mountains, and virgin forests.
Take the cable car to the top (saves hours of hiking), then walk down through the valley. The descent takes 3-4 hours and passes the main sights: Honglong Monastery, Mirror Ponds, and the Five-Color Ponds at the summit-nearly 700 pools in shades of blue, green, and gold.
After exploring, drive about 2 hours to your hotel in Jiuzhaigou.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
After breakfast, head to Jiuzhaigou National Park. Your guide will help you board a sightseeing bus and plan a route based on the crowds and your energy level.
Jiuzhaigou means "Nine Village Valley" - named for the Tibetan settlements along its length. It's famous for turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and forests backed by snowy peaks. UNESCO listed it in 1992.
The Classic Route:
Take the bus to Nuorilang Waterfall, then continue to Zechawa Valley. Hike short trails to Five-Flower Lake and Pearl Beach. Move to Rize Valley to see Panda Lake, Mirror Lake, and more.
Stop for a rest at Nuorilang Tourist Center, the junction of the Y-shaped valley. In the afternoon, explore Shuzheng Valley on your way back to the exit. Tibetan villages dot the route.
Get to the park earlier to escape the crowds of tourists groups;
Wear comfortable walking shoes or hiking& trekking shoes;
Dining options inside park are limited and expensive. Buffet lunch is provided in Nuorilang Restaurant (the only restaurant in the valley). If you bring your own food you can picnic far away from the masses and avoid spending any longer at the busiest points.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
Morning: Train Back to Chengdu
Your guide will take you to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station for the high-speed train back to Chengdu. Upon arrival at Chengdu East Station, another guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel.
Afternoon: Renmin Park & Jinli Old Street
Visit Renmin Park to see Chengdu's slow side. Find a seat at a historic teahouse, order green tea, and watch locals play mahjong.
Later, stroll through Jinli Old Street-1,800 years old and built to showcase the culture of the Ancient Shu Kingdom. Stone-paved lanes are lined with snack stalls, handicraft shops, and folk performances.
Try local spicy dishes like chuanchuan, dandan noodles, or rabbit head if you're feeling adventurous.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
Your guide will take you to Chengdu train station for the high speed train to Zhangjiajie (about 4-5 hours).
Welcome to Zhangjiajie - where the mountains from Avatar come to life. Upon arrival, our team will meet you and take you to your hotel in Wulingyuan Area.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
After breakfast, you will visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Wulingyuan, where you will explore Yuanjiajie and behold the awe-inspiring Hallelujah Mountains. Following lunch, you will be transferred to Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve in Wulingyuan, where you will have the opportunity to explore Tianzi Mountain (天子山). Throughout the day, you will have ample time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a captivating haven of nature adorned with over 3,000 slender quartz sandstone pillars.
Morning: Yuanjiajie & Bailong Elevator
Today you explore Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China's first national forest park. More than 3,000 quartz sandstone pillars rise from the valley floor.
Take a sightseeing bus to the Bailong Elevator-the "World's No.1 Ladder." In 66 seconds, it lifts you 326 meters to the top of a pillar.
Hike into Yuanjiajie, the real-world inspiration for the floating Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar. Walk the 3.5-kilometer cliffside trail. See the South Sky Pillar (Avatar Mountain), the First Bridge Under Heaven, and the Backyard Garden. Red prayer ribbons flutter in the wind.
Afternoon: Tianzi Mountain
Take another bus to Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve. Named after a Tujia leader who called himself "Son of Heaven," this area offers views of the West Sea Peaks Forest and the Imperial Writing Brush Peaks-six stone pillars shaped like pens.
Visit He Long Park for a bronze statue of Marshal He Long and panoramic views from Tianzige Pavilion.
In peak season, your guide may reverse the route to avoid crowds.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
Morning: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge
Drive about 1.5 hours to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. The highlight: the Glass Bridge, the world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge. It spans 375 meters and hangs 300 meters above the canyon floor.
Step onto the transparent glass - it feels like walking on air. Below, a forest and mist-filled canyon stretch out. In the middle, there's a bungee jumping platform (optional, self-pay). The bridge was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan and can hold up to 800 people.
Afternoon: Baofeng Lake
After lunch, head to Baofeng Lake, a crystal-clear alpine lake surrounded by peaks. Take a wooden boat ride across the water-2.5 kilometers long, up to 1,000 meters wide. Local minority singers perform folk songs as you drift.
After the tour, drive back to Zhangjiajie City (about 1 hour) and check into your hotel.
Dining:Accommodation:Pace:
Morning: Tianmen Mountain Cable Car
Today you visit Tianmen Mountain, known as the "Soul of Zhangjiajie." It's just 8 kilometers from the city center.
Start with the world's longest cable car—7,455 meters, 30 minutes from city to summit. As you ascend, look down at the winding mountain road with 99 bends, also called the "Road to Heaven."
On the Summit:
Walk the Glass Walkway—60 meters of transparent path attached to a cliff, 1,430 meters above the valley. If heights don't bother you, try the 1.6-kilometer Cliff-Hanging Walkway along the mountain's edge.
Visit Tianmen Temple, a Qing Dynasty structure surrounded by forest. For the best view, climb to Yunmenxianding (1,518 meters), the mountain's highest point.
Tianmen Cave & Descent
Take an escalator down to Tianmen Cave - the world's highest natural mountain arch at 131.5 meters tall. Clouds and mist often swirl through the opening. From here, you can walk down the 999 steps or take another escalator.
Our team will take you to the airport or train station for your onward journey.
Note: The glass walkway requires a 5 yuan shoe cover fee (we'll cover this for you).

Our family of seven from Singapore joined the 3 Days Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou High Speed Train Tour, and it was truly one of the best short trips we’ve ever taken together.

This 10 Days Chengdu & Lhasa to Kathmandu Overland Tour via Qinghai-Tibet Railway was one of the most meaningful trips of my life. Traveling across such vast landscapes—from the green valleys of Sichuan to the high plateau of Tibet and finally into the Himalayas—felt like crossing into another world. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway itself was an unforgettable experience, offering breathtaking views and a smooth, comfortable ride into Lhasa.
Every detail of the journey was thoughtfully arranged, from permits to border crossings, which could have been very complicated without a professional team.

I am deeply grateful for the care and professionalism of the team. This tour is truly for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and a deeper connection to the world.
This winter, I had a 10-hour layover in Chengdu and decided to join this Chengdu Layover Tour: Efficient Panda & City Tours Between Flights. It was the best decision I could have made. Instead of waiting at the airport, I got to see the adorable giant pandas up close, which was a lifelong dream. Even in the cold weather, watching them play and eat bamboo was incredibly heartwarming.
The schedule was perfectly planned for a short stop, and everything ran smoothly from airport pickup to drop-off. To top it off, I enjoyed a steaming hot Chengdu hotpot before heading back to the airport—exactly what I needed on a winter day. The guide was friendly, professional, and very mindful of my flight time. This tour turned a boring layover into a memorable mini adventure. Highly recommended for anyone passing through Chengdu!
As a traveler from Malaysia, this was my very first time seeing snow, and this 4 Days Chengdu to Bipenggou Winter Tour turned out to be the perfect choice. I had never skied before and was a little nervous, but Bipenggou was very beginner-friendly. The staff patiently guided me, and the slopes felt safe and fun, even for first-timers.
Seeing the giant pandas in Chengdu was adorable, and soaking in the natural hot springs after a day in the cold mountains was incredibly relaxing. The snowy scenery was like a winter fairy tale. Everything—from transport to hotels—was well organized, so I could fully enjoy the experience. I truly felt taken care of and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try snow for the first time.

I recently completed the “30 Days China Tour from Beijing” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as someone from Singapore, I found it to be an exceptional experience.
Starting in Beijing, everything kicked off seamlessly — airport pick-up worked well, and our guide made us feel comfortable right away. Over the month we moved through a very broad selection of China’s landscapes, cities, history and culture. From the imposing Great Wall of China and Forbidden City in Beijing to ancient capitals, ethnic minority regions, high-speed train rides, rural scenery and modern metropolises.
Some of the highlights for me:
I recently completed the “21-Day China Tour from Shanghai” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as a traveler from the U.S., I found the journey both impressive and very well managed.
Starting in Shanghai, our arrival went smoothly — airport pick-up, a comfortable downtown hotel, and a friendly local guide who helped us get oriented right away.

I just came back from the 30-Day China Panorama Tour from Guangzhou with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was truly one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever joined.
From the moment I landed in Guangzhou, everything was well-coordinated. The local guide greeted us at the airport and made us feel welcome right away. We started with classic Cantonese highlights like the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Lychee Bay, and traditional dim sum — a great introduction to southern China’s culture.
The route that followed was impressive. We cruised along the Li River in Guilin, cycled through Yangshuo’s peaceful countryside, and admired the Longji Rice Terraces. In Yunnan, Dali and Lijiang’s old towns were full of character, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. Chengdu was all about pandas and Sichuan food, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong looked like scenes from a painting, and Chongqing’s mountain city views were unforgettable. The trip ended with Beijing’s Great Wall and Forbidden City, and Shanghai’s skyline — the perfect contrast of history and modern life.
Everything ran smoothly throughout. The guides were professional and friendly, the hotels were clean and comfortable, and transportation was efficient. My personal highlights were sharing bamboo rice with local villagers in Longji, standing by the turquoise lakes of Jiuzhaigou, and watching the city lights in Chongqing after dinner.
