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 to suit your interests.
Take a high-speed train from Chengdu to the Jiuzhaigou area. Upon arrival, your private guide and driver will welcome you at Huanglongjiuzhai Station, from where you'll proceed to the nearby Huanglong National Scenic Spot.
For your convenience, we'll arrange a cable car and shuttle bus to swiftly transport you to the top, where you'll witness the iconic Five-Color Pond, saving your energy and time. Then, embark on a descent, tracing the valley's watery wonders, enveloped by the primal forest and immersed in the breathtaking grandeur.
Jiuzhaigou, China's premier water landscape, offers breathtaking natural beauty across its three valleys. A two-day visit lets you explore at a leisurely pace.
Our expert guides will tailor your experience, selecting the best routes based on weather, crowd levels, timing, and your preferences.
On the first day, explore Zechawa and Rize Valleys by sightseeing bus and on foot. Discover stunning sights like Long Lake, Five-Color Pond, and the Pearl Shoal Waterfall from "Journey to the West." Enjoy a relaxing buffet lunch at Nuorilang Restaurant.
Why not dazzle your social media with stunning photos from Jiuzhaigou? In a two-hour session, let our professional photographer guide you through capturing breathtaking shots in traditional Tibetan attire against azure lakes and lush forests.
After the photoshoot, you'll have ample time to continue exploring the beauty of Shuzheng Valley. We highly recommend the hiking trail at Reed Lake, a less crowded spot where a blue river runs like a jade belt amidst golden reeds. If the weather permits, you can enjoy a picnic lunch today.
Across Jiuzhaigou's bustling tourist scene lies the tranquil Zhongchagou, a hidden gem known as 'Jiuzhaigou's Secret Garden.' Here, prayer flags flutter and yaks graze by Tibetan villages. Embark on a scenic 30-minute walk through lush grasslands. After this brief journey, immerse yourself in local life with a village elder, savoring local delicacies and butter tea, while absorbing tales of daily rituals and sacred symbols.
With Jiuzhaigou's youth increasingly detached from their cultural roots, this experience provides a rare glimpse into the fading Tibetan traditions.
After lunch, briefly explore a private museum dedicated to Tibetan and Qiang cultures. Then, dive into hands-on craft experiences: make Tibetan incense, paint Thangka (using mineral and plant pigments), and more. Transition from observer to creator, immersing yourself in the artistry.
After your day tour concludes, you'll be transported to Huanglongjiuzhai Station for your return journey to Chengdu.
