Khởi hành từ Thành Đô | Tour 4 ngày kinh điển Thành Đô + Đại Phật Lạc Sơn + Nga Mi Sơn + Khu bảo tồn gấu trúc

Welcome to Chengdu, the hometown of giant pandas. Our driver will meet you at the exit of the airport/railway station and escort you to your hotel for rest. You can arrange the remaining time freely. If you are tired, you can rest at the hotel to relieve travel fatigue. If it is still early, you can stroll around the neighborhood, or consult your guide for travel suggestions based on your time and interests. Suggested ways to arrive 1. By plane: Chengdu has two airports - Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), with many domestic direct flights, such as Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Guilin, Hangzhou, Kunming, Lhasa, Chongqing, Wuhan, Guiyang, Xiamen, etc., as well as international direct flights, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Japan, etc. Transportation is very convenient. 2. By train: Chengdu has 4 railway stations. You can take high-speed trains to Chengdu from cities such as Beijing (7-11 hours), Xi'an (3-4 hours), Chongqing (1.5-2 hours), Shanghai (12.5-14.5 hours), Kunming (6-6.5 hours), Guiyang (3.5-4.5 hours), etc.

After breakfast, you will drive about 2 hours to visit the famous World Cultural and Natural Heritage site—the Leshan Giant Buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest and tallest stone-carved Buddha in the world, a great miracle in world cultural history, and a well-known Buddhist holy site in China. The Buddha is carved into the cliff at the confluence of the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu rivers. Its superb carving technique makes it an artistic treasure of Tang Dynasty cliff carvings in China, and its exquisite design has kept it standing for a thousand years, hence the saying "The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain." Carved into the riverside cliff, the Leshan Giant Buddha is about 71 meters high, about 28 meters wide at the shoulders, about 14.7 meters high at the head, about 7 meters long in the ears, about 5.6 meters long in the nose and eyebrows, about 3.3 meters long in the mouth and eyes, and about 8.5 meters wide across the insteps; more than a hundred people could sit on the feet. Looking out, it is extremely majestic and solemn. You can tour on foot to see the Buddha up close and feel its grandeur, visit ancient Buddhist temples such as Lingyun Temple and Jiading Temple to learn more about Leshan's history and Buddhist culture, or go to the Buddha viewing platform to photograph the full view of the Leshan Giant Buddha and the charming natural scenery around it. Optional activity recommendation: The plank road at the Leshan Giant Buddha is narrow, steep, and rather winding. If you are not in good physical condition or want a relaxed visit, you can take a boat to enjoy the panoramic view of the Buddha, taking in its majestic figure fully. Then, drive about 45 km to visit Baoguo Temple, the largest Buddhist temple on Mount Emei. Located at the foot of Mount Emei, Baoguo Temple is not only an important symbol of Mount Emei's Buddhist culture but also an excellent starting point for touring Mount Emei. Here, you can not only pay respects to the solemn halls and Buddha statues but also burn incense and pray for blessings. Especially on sunny days, standing by the temple's red walls and under ancient trees, you can take very Zen-style beautiful photos. After the tour, go to the hotel to check in and rest.

After breakfast, you will head to Mount Emei, one of the four great Buddhist mountains in China. [Mount Emei] is one of the famous World Cultural and Natural Heritage sites and one of China's popular tourist destinations. It is known for its features of "majesty, elegance, wonder, steepness, and seclusion," and has long been praised as a "mountain of immortals and land of Buddhism," a "kingdom of plants," a "paradise of animals," and a "geological museum." The combination of sightseeing bus + hiking + cable car allows you to more easily enjoy the magnificent natural scenery of Mount Emei and appreciate the profound charm of Buddhist culture. Recommended route for today: Visitor Center → take the sightseeing bus to Leidongping (about 1.5~2 hours) → walk about 30 minutes to Jieyin Hall → take the cable car to Golden Summit (about 5 minutes) → tour Golden Summit → return along the same route (this route not only helps you save energy, but also allows you to fully enjoy the essence of Mount Emei) Tips for visiting Mount Emei 1. There may be monkeys on the section from Leidongping to Jieyin Hall. It is recommended not to carry plastic bags or food to avoid them being snatched by monkeys. 2. Golden Summit is the highest point of Mount Emei, at an altitude of about 3,077 meters. You can enjoy the four wonders of sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha's halo, and holy lamps. If you are lucky, you can also catch the spectacular sight of surging waves of clouds, which is very magnificent. It is best after rain when the sky clears or after snow when it just clears; early morning is the best time to view the sunrise and Buddha's halo, and the scenery is mysterious and breathtaking. After the tour, our driver will escort you back to your hotel in Chengdu for rest.

After breakfast, you will drive about 17 kilometers to visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, to see China's adorable national treasure, the giant panda, and learn about their habits and conservation efforts. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, or Chengdu Panda Base for short, is home to over 100 giant pandas, making it the world's largest captive panda breeding facility. Here, you can watch giant pandas of different ages playing, eating, climbing hills, climbing trees, and sleeping in the park, and you can also follow your guide to visit the Panda Museum to learn more stories about pandas. In addition, if you visit in autumn, you may have the chance to see adorable giant panda cubs at the Moon Nursery and Sun Nursery. Moreover, the famous Chinese panda star Hua Hua lives here, known for her cute appearance and unique personality, and is called the "top female celebrity." (Note: Giant pandas prefer cooler weather and are more active in the morning, so it is recommended to arrive early to see more natural panda behavior.) Then, head to People's Park, hailed as one of the "most beautiful parks in Chengdu," to experience the leisurely Chengdu culture up close and the slow life of the locals. Here, you can sit in a century-old teahouse, order a cup of fragrant covered-bowl tea, and chat leisurely with a few friends on bamboo chairs. You can also experience the intangible cultural heritage of ear cleaning and enjoy the tingling "little comfort" that shoots straight to your head, or watch the exciting local mahjong games and stroll through the famous matchmaking corner. Afterward, you can leisurely stroll through Kuanzhai Alley, hailed as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Streets in Sichuan," to experience the leisurely life of Chengdu, enjoy the spectacular Sichuan opera face-changing performance, take great photos, admire the exquisite characteristic architecture, and taste authentic old Chengdu cuisine. (Optional activity: You can try local spicy dishes such as chuanchuan and dandan noodles, and even try one of Chengdu's most iconic specialties, spicy rabbit head!) After the tour, this wonderful and unforgettable 4-day Chengdu, Leshan, and Mount Emei tour will come to an end, and our driver will take you to the airport/train station. If you wish to extend this trip and explore more destinations in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Huangshan, Harbin, Yunnan, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie, Tibet, Guilin, Xinjiang, etc., you can also contact our customer service to arrange it for you.
