Highlights
Detailed Itinerary
Sink into the genuine slow-paced vibe of old Chengdu. Wander vintage alleyways hidden in the city centre — Wide & Narrow Alleys, ancient bluestone lanes lined with grey-brick courtyards and wooden tiled roofs, filled with folk crafts and strong nostalgic atmosphere. Sit back and enjoy tea like a local in People's Park traditional teahouse under shady old trees. Explore Chunxi Road, the most prosperous fashion and commercial landmark in Western China where tradition meets modern fashion.

Morning: Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding — surrounded by dense bamboo forests and fresh natural oxygen. Watch fluffy giant pandas lazily munch bamboo, roll on the lawn and play freely. Every scene is healing and full of lovely natural charm. Afternoon: Dujiangyan Irrigation System — a UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece of ancient engineering. Ingeniously designed without dams, it has regulated rivers and nourished the Chengdu Plain for over 2,000 years. Winding clear waters framed by layered green mountains create a grand, tranquil scene.

Visit the world's largest cliff-carved stone Buddha, located at the convergence of three rivers. Carved into the mountain cliff overlooking the merging Min River, Dadu River and Qingyi River. Majestic 71-meter stature, delicate carving, with rolling river waves flowing at its feet. The whole scene is solemn, grand and deeply shocking. Feel the solemn Buddhist vibe, magnificent mountain river scenery and the breathtaking momentum of this thousand-year-old sacred landmark.

Take your time to soak up Chengdu's laid-back soul at your own pace. Wander hidden old streets, taste authentic Sichuan snacks and delicacies, enjoy a leisurely tea break in a traditional teahouse, experience folk culture and immerse yourself completely in Chengdu's iconic slow-life rhythm. Free to explore local markets, try spicy hot pot, watch Sichuan opera face-changing, or simply relax in a bamboo chair with a cup of jasmine tea.
