Duration:6-8 Hours
Attractions(Cities): Chengdu Panda Research Base, People's Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley
Tour Style:One day, one private car, and an English-speaking local guide who has already booked every ticket on the list. Mornings start early at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding so you catch the pandas while they are still active; after that, the pace slows to a hillside teahouse in Renmin Park, gaiwan jasmine tea in hand. Between the two you walk Jinli's lantern-lit lane and finish in Kuanzhai Alley, where restored Qing courtyards now sit alongside small shops and tea rooms. Pick-up and drop-off match your schedule — a Chengdu hotel, a train station, or the airport.
Duration:8 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base, Leshan Giant Buddha
Tour Style:Two UNESCO-listed sights on one private day out of Chengdu. The morning starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding while the animals are still active in the cool hours, then the driver takes you south along the expressway to Leshan, where a 71-metre stone Buddha carved between 713 and 803 AD still stands at the junction of three rivers. Walk the Nine Bends Plank Road, take the river boat, or do both. English-speaking local guide, private air-conditioned car with an experienced driver, Panda Base and Leshan tickets included, hotel, train station, or airport pick-up.
Duration:2 Days, 1 Night
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Panda Base, Renmin Park, Wuhou Temple, Jinli Street, Wenshu Monastery, Chengdu Museum, Tianfu Square
Tour Style:This two-day private tour moves between the old and new faces of Chengdu at your own pace. Day 1 starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning, when the pandas are feeding, then takes in the teahouse scene at Renmin Park, the Three Kingdoms shrines of Wuhou Temple, and the snack stalls and craft shops of Jinli Ancient Street. Day 2 covers the Buddhist halls of Wenshu Monastery, the collections of the Chengdu Museum, and the modern plaza at Tianfu Square. A private car and an English-speaking guide carry you between all of them, with pickup from your hotel, train station, or the airport, and the daily order flexes if you want longer at the panda base or a slower teahouse stop. Lunch is left open so your guide can point you to local kitchens rather than tourist menus.
Duration:8-9 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain
Tour Style:This day trip pairs two UNESCO-listed sights west of Chengdu: the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Qingcheng Mountain. A private car and driver collect you from your hotel, train station, or the airport and stop first at Dujiangyan, where an English-speaking guide walks you through the 256 BC waterworks that Li Bing and his son built without a dam, still carrying Min River water onto the Chengdu plain after more than 2,000 years. You see the Fish Mouth levee, Flying Sand Reef, and Bottle Neck channel up close. After lunch you drive to Qingcheng Mountain, a founding site of Taoism, and take the cable car and stone paths past the front-mountain temples. Lunch is left out on purpose so your guide can point you to a local Sichuan kitchen; pace, photo stops, and vegetarian or lighter requests are easy to adjust on a private tour.
Duration:3 Days 2 Nights
Attractions(Cities):Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Renmin Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley
Tour Style:This three-day private tour pairs Chengdu with two mountain and heritage sights. Day one covers the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in the morning, then Renmin Park teahouse, Jinli Ancient Street, and Kuanzhai Alley. Day two drives about two hours to the 71-metre Leshan Giant Buddha, seen from the cliff path or a Dadu River boat, then on to an overnight at the foot of Mount Emei. Day three rises by eco-bus and cable car to the Golden Summit at 3,077 metres and the old temples before the return to Chengdu. A private car, driver, and English-speaking guide handle tickets and transfers, and pick-up and drop-off run from your Chengdu hotel, station, or airport.
Duration:2 Days, 1 Night
Attractions(Cities): Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, Bayi Food Street, Hongyadong, Qiansimen Bridge, Two Rivers Night Cruise, Yangtze River Cableway, Liziba Light Rail Station, Ciqikou Ancient Town, Nanshan One Tree Pavilion(Panoramic Views of Chongqing)

Day two adds the Yangtze River Cableway, the train that passes through a tower at Liziba station, and the old lanes of Ciqikou. Your guide handles train seats, tickets, and translations, and a private car and driver move you between stops. Pick-up and drop-off are at your Chengdu hotel, station, or airport; meals are on your own so you eat where locals do.
Duration:4 Days 3 Nights
Attractions(Cities):Huanglong National Park, Jiuzhaigou Valley
Tour Style:A four-day private trip from Chengdu to the two UNESCO sites in northwestern Sichuan — Huanglong with its calchedon pools and Jiuzhaigou with its nine forest lakes. Private air-conditioned car, professional driver, English-speaking local guide for the full four days; hotels and entry tickets are pre-arranged. Pick-up from your Chengdu hotel, train station, or airport; return to the same point at the end of Day 4. Multi-day pace is set by your group, not a bus schedule.
Duration:8-9 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan Panda Base
Tour Style:This day trip takes you to the Dujiangyan giant panda base outside Chengdu for a supervised volunteer shift. In a private car with a professional driver and an English-speaking guide, you travel about 55 kilometers to the base, where you change into a volunteer uniform and work beside a panda keeper through a real part of the day: cleaning enclosures, carrying fresh bamboo, and helping prepare supplemental food. You watch feeding and health checks at close range and finish with a panda volunteer certificate. The program is run as keeper-supported work, not a chance to hold a cub, so it suits travelers who want an up-close, responsible look at panda care. Pickup is from your Chengdu hotel, train station, or the airport, and lunch at the base canteen is included.
Duration:2 Days 1 Night
Attractions(Cities): Chengdu Panda Base, Sichuan Cuisine Museum, Kuanzhai Alley, Dufu Thatched Cottage, Jinli Ancient Street
Tour Style:Spend two days tasting Chengdu on a private food and sightseeing tour built around a guide who eats where locals do. Day one pairs an early visit to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base with a hands-on cooking class at the Sichuan Cuisine Museum in Pixian. Day two runs from a neighborhood breakfast and Kuanzhai Alley to a second cooking lunch, the Dufu Thatched Cottage, and Jinli street at dusk. A private car and driver move you between stops, your guide translates and helps you order, and most meals are on your own so you taste the dishes you want. Pick-up and drop-off are at your Chengdu hotel, station, or airport.
Duration:6-8 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan Panda Base, Dujiangyan Irrigation System
Tour Style:This private day trip pairs two of the best sights around Dujiangyan, west of Chengdu: the giant panda base and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. Your guide and driver collect you from a Chengdu hotel, train station, or the airport, and you start at the panda base to see giant pandas in shaded, naturalistic enclosures while your guide covers rescue and breeding work. In the afternoon you walk the 256 BC waterworks that Li Bing built without a dam and that still carry the Min River onto the Chengdu plain, from the Fish Mouth levee to the Bottle Neck channel. Entrance fees are handled by your guide, lunch is left open so you can eat where you like, and the car and the pace are yours, so you can lean longer at the pandas or at the engineering site.
Duration:6-8 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center, Kuanzhai Alley
Tour Style:A private day built around a Chengdu layover — the guide meets you at Shuangliu arrivals, luggage rides in the car all day, and you are back at the correct terminal two to three hours before your next boarding call. The route hits the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning and Kuanzhai Alley before lunch. English-speaking local guide, private air-conditioned car, Panda Base entry ticket included. Fits layovers of 8 hours or longer; vegetarian, halal, and milder Sichuan requests easy to arrange.
Duration:6 Days 5 Nights
