A private 6-day trip from Chengdu to the panda base, then north to the turquoise pools of Jiuzhaigou and the travertine terraces of Huanglong, paced gently for the altitude.

Duration 6 days / 5 nightsBest season April to June, September to NovemberGroup size 2-8 guestsDepartures Weekly

Chengdu is known for its food, its old lanes and its pandas, and Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong lie in the mountains to the north. This trip pairs the ease of the city with the colour of the valleys.

Both Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong sit high, so the first day north does not push you. You see the panda base and the city first, then take the mountains one area a day.

Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in Chengdu

Your guide meets you at the airport. You leave your bags and walk the old lanes of Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley on your first evening.

Day 2

Panda base and the city

Go early to the panda base, when the pandas are most active. The afternoon is for tea houses and the city back streets.

Day 3

Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou

Fly or drive north to Jiuzhaigou. The rest of the day is deliberately slow to help you adjust to the altitude.

Day 4

Jiuzhaigou valley

Ride the park shuttles between Five-Colour Pool, Wuhua Lake and Pearl Shoal Falls. It is a moving day, so we stop and rest often.

Day 5

Huanglong, back to Chengdu

See the travertine pools of Huanglong, then return to Chengdu. On the higher stretches we take it slowly and stop for photos.

Day 6

Departure from Chengdu

Your guide takes you to the airport. We can extend the Jiuzhaigou stay or add another city on request.

At a glance

Panda base

See pandas up close in the morning, when they are most active. We enter early, before the crowds.

Five-Colour Pool, Jiuzhaigou

A lake that splits into bands of colour. Park shuttles let us control how much you walk.

Wuhua Lake and Pearl Shoal Falls

Lakes and waterfalls that follow the valley. The water is clearest in the right season.

Huanglong travertine pools

Terraced limestone pools filled with water. Huanglong sits high, so we climb slowly.

Chengdu lanes and tea houses

Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley show the city everyday life. Dinners are at local restaurants.

Altitude-aware pacing

Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong are spread out so you see one area a day, without rushing.

Good to know

FAQ

I am worried about the altitude. Will I be OK?

We climb from Chengdu at an easy pace and leave slack in the Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong days. If you are not feeling well, we adjust the plan.

Is this OK with children?

The panda base and the valleys are a hit with kids. Some drives are long, so we add rest stops and shape the days around your group.

Is the no-shopping promise real?

We do not include shopping centres or forced stops. If you want to visit a local market, we add it and let you decide.

I do not speak Chinese. Is that OK?

Your guide is with you throughout and handles tickets, shuttles and restaurant orders in Korean.

How do I find out the price?

It depends on your dates, group size and hotel category, so we quote on request. Send us your dates and numbers on WhatsApp or WeChat.
