Amazing Chengdu & Chongqing Experience

We had a wonderful 8-day private tour in Chengdu and Chongqing. The itinerary was very well organized, covering the famous highlights while still giving us time to experience the local culture. The highlight of our trip was definitely the optional Sichuan Opera Face-Changing Show and mask painting experience arranged by the tour company. It was such a unique cultural activity that we could not experience anywhere else. Before the performance, we joined the mask painting workshop and learned the meaning behind different colors and patterns. It was fun, creative, and a great way to understand Sichuan culture. The face-changing performance afterward was absolutely fascinating and one of the most memorable moments of our China trip.

8-day Sichuan journey

We had an amazing 8-day Sichuan journey with this tour, and it was one of the best experiences we had in China. The itinerary was very well organized, covering so many highlights without feeling rushed. Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong were absolutely breathtaking — the colorful lakes, waterfalls, and mountain scenery were beyond our expectations. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and always took care of every detail. He explained the history and culture behind each attraction, especially at Leshan Giant Buddha, Wuhou Shrine, and Dujiangyan, which made the visits much more meaningful. The private car service was also very comfortable, especially after long sightseeing days. We especially enjoyed the balance between nature and culture. Seeing giant pandas in Chengdu, walking through Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli Ancient Street, and learning about Sichuan's history gave us a deeper understanding of this fascinating region. The second visit to Jiuzhaigou was a great idea because we had more time to enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace. Thank you for arranging such a smooth and memorable trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the beauty and culture of Sichuan.
