Day 1 Chengdu – Leshan Giant Buddha - Chengdu



This morning we will take you on the pleasant 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the LeShan Giant Buddha, the largest carved statue of the Buddha in the world. Sitting at the confluence of three rivers, the Giant Buddha was carved into the cliffside of Lingyun Mountain more than 1,200 years ago in the hopes that it would help to suppress flooding in the area. You can enjoy a spectacular view of the gargantuan statue as you walk down the narrow staircase to the foot of the Buddha.

After we visit the Giant Buddha, we will take you back to your hotel in Chengdu.

Recommended evening activity:
Watch a wonderful performance of the traditional Sichuan Opera at the Shufengyayun Opera House, including folk opera, face changing, fire spitting, and rolling lights performances and much more.

Accommodation: Overnight in Chengdu

Day 2 Chengdu: Panda Base, Renmin Park, Jinli Street



This morning we will pick you up from your hotel by private vehicle to visit the lovely Giant Pandas at the Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base & Breeding Center, which is the number one must-do thing in Chengdu. We will pick you up early in the morning from your hotel and drive about 30 minutes to the panda base to see giant pandas as they are being fed, playing with each other, climbing trees, etc. There are many different enclosures for pandas of different ages, from baby pandas to 1-year old pandas to teenage pandas and older - more than 100 Giant Pandas live here at the center. Beautiful tree-lined walking paths lead you from one enclosure to the next so it’s an enjoyable morning spending time with the pandas. Don’t miss the opportunity to see panda mothers nursing their cubs in the nursery rooms. There is also a very informative Panda Museum filled with interesting exhibits and everything you need to know about these wonderful creatures.

After your visit to the panda center, we will show you why Chengdu is famous for its laid back, leisurely lifestyle with a visit to Renmin Park. Renmin (People’s) Park is where the locals go for a relaxing walk, to meet friends or have a cup of tea. After a relaxing visit to the park, we will take you on to Old Jinli Street. Jinli Street, by contrast, is a street mainly for tourists but it does offer a view of the way things were in ancient times. You can wander along this traditional old street to absorb the special atmosphere of Chengdu while tasting the local snacks, watching street performers, etc.

After your tour, we will take you back to your hotel or we can escort you to the Chengdu airport or train station for your flight or train on to your next destination.
