Tour 'Wow' Points

Immerse Yourself in the Winter Wonderland of Bipenggou

With virgin forests, highland meadows, plateau lakes, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and waterfalls, Bipenggou is the best place near Chengdu to feel winter's natural charm, and it is a good alternative to Jiuzhaigou (currently closed).

Enjoy Serene and Scenic Skiing and a Natural Hot Spring Resort

Unlike Xiling Ski Resort, Bipenggou Ice and Snow World has natural snowy slopes with less crowding inside stunningly scenic Bipenggou National Park. Before daytime sightseeing and skiing, you can relax in a nearby snowy valley's hot spring resort in late afternoon or evening, staying overnight there.

Encounter Adorable Pandas in a Less-Touristy Panda Base

Dujiangyan Panda Base enjoys a favorable climate and natural environment with lovely scenic surroundings. It is easy to get to the front of each panda enclosure for close-up panda photos as the park is well designed and there are reasonable visitor numbers.

Cook and Taste Authentic Sichuan Cuisine

Have a private Sichuan cuisine cooking experience, learning recipes from a local chef. Savor tasty local dishes, and let a hotpot meal warm your stomach against the cold of winter.

12 Day Family Tour to the 4 Corners of China! The activities were carefully picked, some of them were obvious like the things you have to see (Forbidden City, Great Wall, Panda bears...), but even these involved good choices by the guides of exactly where to go inside a massive site. We saw a lot of panda bears! The guides were super knowledgeable in the history and culture, and we learned so much more from their contribution than if we just went and looked at old (beautiful) buildings. ? more Sep 2024, motif one

Loved Chengdu with guide EVAN Our guide Evan was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited in and around Chengdu, as well as about Chinese history and Buddhism. He was also adept at navigating the complexities of crowds, hot weather, and ticket lines. He knew the best places to go at the Panda center, so we saw a lot of pandas even on a hot day.He still remained in contact, helped us see a Sichuan opera, and offered useful advice to us. Evan was really top as a guide and just a great guy to hang out with, and thanks also to Ellen at China Highlights who expertly organized the whole tour. more Sep 2024, motif o
