Upon arrival in Chengdu, meet your private guide and driver for a comfortable transfer into the city. After leaving your luggage at the hotel, begin exploring Chengdu’s signature attractions and local culture.

Head to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, where you can watch giant pandas eating bamboo, resting, and moving around their enclosures. Your visit offers an enjoyable introduction to these iconic animals and the work involved in their conservation.

Continue to Jinli Ancient Street, where traditional-style buildings, small shops, and food stalls create a lively atmosphere. Browse local handicrafts and sample Sichuan snacks before returning to your hotel.

After breakfast, travel by private vehicle to Leshan, a city celebrated for its Buddhist heritage and regional food. The drive takes approximately two hours, depending on traffic.

Your main visit is the Leshan Giant Buddha, an extraordinary stone figure carved into a cliff overlooking the meeting point of three rivers. Recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage property, the statue reflects the remarkable craftsmanship and religious traditions of ancient China.

For a sweeping view of the Buddha and the surrounding landscape, you may choose a sightseeing boat when services are operating. Alternatively, explore the scenic area on foot, following the paths and steps for closer views of the statue and nearby Buddhist sites. The walking option involves stairs and can take more time, so your visit can be adjusted to suit your interests and fitness level. Boat operations are subject to local conditions.

After sightseeing, enjoy a local meal in Leshan. The city has its own distinctive food culture, making this a great opportunity to try regional specialties and experience flavors beyond those commonly found in Chengdu.

In the afternoon, return to Chengdu by private vehicle. The evening is free for you to relax at the hotel or explore nearby areas at your own pace.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before checking out. Your driver will transfer you to Chengdu airport or railway station according to your departure schedule. Your guide can assist with the transfer arrangements to help ensure a smooth end to your trip.
