FAQ
Private Chengdu Tour FAQ
How many days do I need for a Chengdu private tour?
Most travelers need 3 to 6 days for a Chengdu private tour. Three days can cover pandas and a simple city experience. Five or six days gives room for Sanxingdui, Leshan and slower food-focused pacing.
What is Chengdu best known for?
Chengdu is best known for giant pandas, Sichuan cuisine, teahouse culture and easy day trips like Sanxingdui and Leshan. It also works well as a comfortable base for Southwest China extensions such as Jiuzhaigou.
Can I combine Chengdu with Chongqing?
