I recommand this tour to someone tired of busy life in city area, its much more than the culture and history, but for a soul who wanna get a temperary quite
I spend 6 days in Chengdu with my friends. besides city tour we kinda wanna see natural view, this dujiangyan and qingcheng mount tour definitely the best one near Chengdu for the montains and rivers view, its not very far from chengdu though:). next time we wanna go to western Sichuan to see the higher montains!
We've spent a wonder weekend in Chengdu and Dujiangyan. Love the culture and food here, especially Dujiangyan, very good place to relax from busy life.
Our guide, Andy, was just incredible. His English skills are excellent, and his knowledge of the areas we visited was outstanding. Climbing the mountain to see the birthplace of Daoism was truly an experience of a lifetime. We took a short boat ride across a cute little lake, followed by a cable car ride and then a walk. We were so lucky with the weather, and when we got to the top, the view was amazing. There was a sense of peace and natural beauty just by being on the mountain. I can't recommend Andy highly enough!
