Tour Highlights
- 📖This tour is not a checklist of attractions. It tells Sichuan as a coherent travel story: Chengdu for everyday life and food, Dujiangyan and Qingcheng for ancient engineering and Taoist nature, Leshan for a cliff-carving wonder, and Mount Emei for sacred Buddhist mountain scenery.
- 🗿The Leshan Giant Buddha, 71 metres tall and carved in 713 CE, is the world's largest stone Buddha and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, facing the confluence of three rivers. Guests can walk the cliff-side steps for close-up views or take an optional boat ride for the full frontal perspective — a powerful visual highlight
- ⛰Mount Emei is one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains. The Golden Summit sits at 3,099 metres, where clear days reveal the Samantabhadra statue, seas of clouds, and distant peaks. An overnight stay nearby plus round-trip scenic buses and Golden Summit cable cars ensure a comfortable, unhurried visit.
- 🌿Dujiangyan and Mount Qingcheng are paired on the same day — ancient engineering in the morning, Taoist forest in the afternoon. The Qingcheng visit is kept gentle and unhurried, with no strenuous hiking, making it accessible for guests of all ages.
