Plan with a little more clarity.
Practical answers for your first private journey through Sichuan.
Is this a group tour?
Each itinerary is for your own private party. Solo travellers, couples, families and friends are welcome to enquire. There is no standard four-to-six-person group requirement or fixed public departure schedule.
What is included in the trip length?
Arrival and departure days count. The reference routes are three days / two nights, five days / four nights and seven days / six nights. Flight times can reduce sightseeing time on the first and last days.
How do we reach Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou?
The five-day route uses high-speed trains between Chengdu East and Huanglongjiuzhai stations, followed by private road transfers. The seven-day route travels by road via Wolong and the Songpan area. Neither scenic area is at the railway station, so transfer time is part of the plan.
Which panda base will we visit?
The three- and five-day reference routes visit Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The seven-day road route visits Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base as ordinary visitors. Volunteering, feeding, holding and close contact are not included or promised.
Does the seven-day route include the Golden Summit?
Yes, the proposed final day includes Mount Emei’s Golden Summit via the scenic-area bus, walking connection and cable car. Its timing must work with a suitable late flight from Chengdu. Weather and operations may require a change; extra accommodation or a revised route must be agreed if the connection is unsuitable.
Will we see autumn colours, a sea of clouds or active pandas?
Photographs show a particular moment. Foliage, water appearance, cloud cover and animal behaviour vary with the season, weather and time of day. We cannot guarantee that your visit will reproduce a photograph.
Are the routes suitable for children or a slower walking pace?
We can discuss a route around your group’s needs. The seven-day itinerary is demanding, and both mountain routes involve altitude and walking. Tell us your walking preferences and children’s ages so we can consider fewer stops or more nights.
Are all meals and hotel choices confirmed?
Your written proposal lists the hotels, room arrangements, breakfast and each other meal or dining experience. The reference hotel list is a planning shortlist. Additional experiences and substitutions may change the price.
Can we add Sichuan opera or a river cruise?
Shu Feng Ya Yun Sichuan opera is optional in Chengdu. A Jin River night cruise is an optional addition to the three-day route. At Leshan, the reference visit is a choice between the hillside route and river-view boat trip. Availability, timing and any extra charges are confirmed before booking.
Is Mount Siguniang included?
It is an option for a separately planned custom journey, not a standard stop on these three routes. Including it may require extra days or replacing other destinations.
How do enquiries and bookings work?
The form creates a message on your device. Review it, open WhatsApp and send it yourself, or copy the message and paste it into your chat. This site does not take payment or confirm bookings. Payment and cancellation terms are agreed in your written proposal.
What should we check before booking flights?
Confirm that your arrival and departure times work with the itinerary, especially the final days of the five- and seven-day routes. Check official entry requirements for your passport and travel plans. International flights are not included unless expressly agreed in the quote.
Do I need a visa to visit China?
Some travellers with eligible ordinary passports can enter China visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days. The rules depend on nationality, passport type, purpose and travel date. Check China’s official visa-free entry guidance and your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate before booking flights. We can discuss your itinerary, but we cannot determine entry eligibility or guarantee admission.
Is visa-free transit the same as a visa-free tourist visit?
No. China also has a separate 240-hour transit policy for eligible travellers continuing to a third country or region, subject to designated entry points, permitted areas and other conditions. Check the official transit guidance if your trip relies on transit eligibility.
