9-Day Panorama Western Sichuan Tour

An In-depth Exploration of Western Sichuan

How much do you know about Sichuan province? The lovely giant pandas and incredible Sichuan food are not the only things this place has to offer. Sichuan also has an incredible national highway that connects the middle part of the country to Tibet. In China, it is known as the most beautiful highway and is considered a bucket list drive.

When starting from Chengdu and journeying west, you will feast your eyes on the beautiful landscape, experience the culture blend between Tibet and Han Chinese, and discover China's best-kept secret where explorer Joseph Rock wanted to visit again and again.

Helen from Chengdu - 6 Stars Helen, our private guide in Chendu, was just the best. An ABSOLUTE 6 Star Guide. She met us from the airport, calmly reviewed out 3 day itinerary, checked all was as we expected, and then spent 3 days ensuring we have the best time possible. Helen was lovely and was very flexible to our needs, and changed a few things for us. She took us on so many unscheduled activities, such as a Local Street Foodie tour, which was just fabulous, and tea in the local park, with ear cleaning, and a “marriage market” (although we couldn’t offload our daughter there !). Helen seemed to be telepathic in understanding what we wanted, and you could see she was thinking and adjusting everything all the time, to suit us. If I was running a Tour Company I would get her to train everyone. Helen from Xian - 6 Stars ******. more Jun 2025, Andy

Exploring chengdu We went to the panda research centre, spent a day exploring chengdu, and took a trip out to huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. Evan was our guide for everything and he was brilliant! I’d highly recommend spending a few days in Chengdu to explore the beautiful city. Evan really gave us an insight into local life and he really did make our trip one to remember! more Jun 2025, Eimear C.
