Chengdu Panda Weekend
Two mornings with pandas, an afternoon of tea houses, and a hotpot dinner you will compare every later hotpot to.
Journeys with local perspective
Private departures, no coach groups, and mornings built around when pandas are actually awake. Every itinerary below can be shortened, stretched or rebuilt around a keeper morning.
Private departures
Prices are per traveller on a two-person private departure, including a guide, transfers and base tickets. Flights are quoted separately.

Break bamboo, roll corn cakes, clean a service corridor, and stand an arm’s length from a feeding panda. No holding. No shortcuts.
Three bases in five days, from the famous city site to a mountain valley at 1,700 metres, with Chengdu’s food in between.
Chengdu, Dujiangyan, Wolong and Bifengxia in one loop, for travellers who would rather see four places properly than ten badly.
Terracotta Warriors, the Qinling foothills, and Qizai — the only brown giant panda in captivity anywhere on earth.
The mountain route north: Chengdu pandas, the Wolong valley, then turquoise lakes and Tibetan villages up the Min valley.
