Day 1: Giant Pandas & Chengdu Local Life

Jinli Ancient Street

Chengdu Giant Panda

Today's highlights: Chengdu Panda Base, People's Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley

Start your trip with Chengdu's most famous residents: giant pandas.

Visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning, when the pandas are generally more active. Walk through the leafy park and watch pandas eating bamboo, climbing trees, playing, or simply relaxing. Depending on the season, you may also have the chance to see young panda cubs.

After your panda visit, return to downtown Chengdu and slow down at People's Park. Find a seat at a traditional teahouse, order a cup of tea, and spend some time watching local life around you. This is one of the easiest ways to experience Chengdu's famously relaxed lifestyle.

Continue to Jinli Ancient Street, where traditional-style lanes are filled with small shops, handicrafts, and local snacks.

Later, stroll through Kuanzhai Alley, another popular historic neighborhood where old-style courtyards sit alongside cafés, restaurants, and shops.

After the tour, your guide and driver will take you back to your hotel.

Day 2: Chengdu to Leshan & Mount Emei

The Baoguo Temple of Mt. Emei

Leshan Giant Buddha

Today's highlight: Leshan Giant Buddha

After breakfast, leave Chengdu and drive to Leshan, home to one of China's most impressive Buddhist landmarks.

Visit the Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-meter-tall stone Buddha carved into the cliffs where three rivers meet. Your guide will share the story behind this extraordinary monument and explain why it has watched over the rivers for more than a thousand years.

Depending on the itinerary and local conditions, you can appreciate the Giant Buddha from the scenic area and get a closer look at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After your Leshan visit, continue to Mount Emei. Check in at your hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening before tomorrow's mountain journey.

Day 3: Mount Emei Golden Summit & Return to Chengdu

The Wannian Temple of Mt. Emei

The Golden Summit of Mt. Emei

Today's highlight: Mount Emei Golden Summit

Today, head up Mount Emei, one of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains.

Use the sightseeing bus and cable car to make your way toward the Golden Summit, the most iconic part of Mount Emei.

At the summit, explore Buddhist temples and see the impressive golden Samantabhadra statue. On a clear day, you'll also be rewarded with wide mountain views stretching across the surrounding peaks. Weather changes quickly at this altitude, so every visit can feel a little different.

Take your time enjoying the summit before making your way back down the mountain.

Your guide and driver will then take you back to Chengdu, where your 3-day journey comes to an end.
