5 days / one flexible framework
Panda conservation, Shu archaeology and historic gardens anchor Chengdu, with Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain protected as substantial excursions.
Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.
Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.
Choose your pace
Choose which visits to shorten or replace. Check the experience’s address and conditions, and arrange meals, shows or workshops separately. The booking planner saves the listed attraction visits.
On day 1, choose a morning-only Wuhou Shrine or Du Fu Cottage route. On day 3, the central slow-day option can replace a town excursion. The city planner saves the listed visits; arrange the tea visit separately.
