Helen la nostra guida a Chengdu
Abbiamo avuto il piacere di essere accompagnati da Helen come guida durante la nostra visita a Chengdu e non possiamo che consigliarla vivamente. è stata precisa, puntuale e molto organizzata. Ha mostrato una grande empatia, soprattutto nei confronti delle bambine, spiegando tutto in modo chiaro e coinvolgente. Ha usato anche delle immagini per facilitare la comprensione, rendendo immediato ciò che raccontava, nonostante la necessità di tradurre dall’inglese all’italiano. Inoltre, Helen si è presa cura con grande attenzione dell’organizzazione del compleanno di Daniele, proprio come avevamo richiesto. Si è assicurata che tutto fosse pronto: i tipici noodles per il compleanno al ristorante, la musica, i palloncini, la consegna della torta in hotel. Come se non bastasse, ha voluto fare anche un pensiero personale per rendere questa giornata ancora più speciale. La ringraziamo di cuore per la sua disponibilità, professionalità e gentilezza. more

Chengdu: la lentezza felice del tè, i Panda giganti e l’abbraccio delle montagne
Il secondo giorno è stato altrettanto magico: lo abbiamo dedicato prima di tutto a un incontro emozionante alla Dujiangyan Panda Base, la nuova base di allevamento del Panda Gigante. Vedere da vicino questi animali iconici è stata un’esperienza commovente e indimenticabile per grandi e piccoli: osservare i cuccioli giocare tra loro, seguire le spiegazioni attente della nostra guida Helen, scoprire i progetti di conservazione e di tutela ci ha permesso di capire quanto impegno ci sia dietro la protezione di questi meravigliosi simboli della Cina. Una menzione speciale va proprio a Helen, la nostra guida a Chengdu: con i suoi modi gentili è riuscita a catturare l’attenzione di tutta la famiglia, dai più piccoli ai più grandi. Ha saputo raccontarci curiosità, storie e dettagli con passione e competenza, adattando ogni momento alle nostre esigenze con una disponibilità rara. La sua presenza discreta ma attenta ha reso ogni visita più interessante e piacevole: è stato davvero un piacere averla al nostro fianco in questi giorni a Chengdu. Chengdu ci ha insegnato a rallentare, a osservare, a lasciarci sorprendere dalla dolcezza della vita quotidiana e dalla natura. Dai Panda giganti al tè sorseggiato lentamente, dai vicoli antichi ai centri commerciali futuristici, tutto ci ha fatto sentire accolti. Consigliamo di cuore di inserire Chengdu in un itinerario in Cina: con Best China Journey, Giulia Zhang e guide preparate come Helen, vivrete questa città nel modo più autentico, confortevole e memorabile possibile. Un ricordo prezioso che resterà per sempre nel nostro cuore di famiglia. more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your private guide will be waiting in the arrival hall of the airport with a nameplate and a welcoming smile. You will be transferred to the hotel by private car and driver, and the guide will help you check in and ensure everything is okay at the hotel.
Explore Wenshu Monastery, a remarkably well-preserved Buddhist temple with over a thousand years of history. It's a peaceful place where you can truly immerse yourself in Buddhist culture.
Then, visit People's Park and have a cup of tea. It's a fantastic place to observe the daily life of Chengdu people, from unique matchmaking events and calligraphy to lively square dancing. You might even catch a special folk or flower exhibition!
If you're a true foodie, you can't miss the chance to sample a variety of tempting cuisine in Jinli Old Street. With the help of your local guide, embark on a gastronomic journey!
Head to Dongjiao Memory, a buzzing street area famed for its distinctive industrial architecture, vibrant livehouses, trendy shops, and abundant coffee spots. It's a haven for young enthusiasts, who can be found effortlessly taking chic photos throughout the area.
Admire the illuminated night view of Anshun Bridge, then return to your hotel or enjoy some free time at the nearby Jiuyanqiao Bar Street.
Take a 1.5-hour drive from the city to Dujiangyan Panda Valley to witness lively giant and red pandas. In the red panda release area, you can observe red pandas at close range!
Known as Chengdu's most attractive bookstore, Zhongshuge Bookstore uses mirrored ceilings to create an expansive, Hogwarts-like haven ideal for photography enthusiasts.
Though both are giant projects, the Great Wall no longer serves its original purpose and remains as historic ruins. In contrast, the Dujiangyan irrigation system, over 2,000 years since its inception, continues to protect against floods and irrigate the fertile Chengdu Plain. Visit this place to uncover the secrets of this magnificent project.
Finally, take photos of the giant selfie panda sculpture in Yangtianwo Square and back to Chengdu.
The Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage site, stands as the world's largest stone statue at an impressive 71 meters. This stunning work of art and faith has a rich history of over 1,200 years.
We offer two viewing options to visit the Giant Buddha: a boat tour, which allows you to appreciate the full view of the Buddha and take photos, or a walking tour, offering a closer look at the intricate details of the sculpture.
After the visit, you will be transported to a hotel in Mount Emei in preparation for the following day.
Mount Emei, another World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, offers stunning natural scenery and a plethora of temples that provide insight into Buddhist culture. Its Golden Summit is known for providing the opportunity to witness four natural wonders: sunrise, the sea of clouds, Buddha's light, and the holy light.
Take a sightseeing bus and after a half-hour walk, take a cable car to Mount Emei's Golden Summit. As you hike, you'll see many naughty wild monkeys–keep an eye on your bags and pockets, as they might snatch your food or belongings!
After the tour, retreat in your private vehicle to Chengdu City.
After breakfast, the driver and guide will escort you to the airport or high-speed rail station. Best China Journey hopes to create a fabulous memory with you.
