Overview

Our English guides are experienced and knowledgeable. They are still sticking with inbound tourism after the 3 years hard time. A lot of English guides gave up tourism during the past 3 years and changed their jobs. However, we still kept the most experienced guide and they are really know what to do with their jobs.
We provides 4 options for clients with different demands. If you want to see the more active pandas with less crowds, you can choose the option 1 to visit Dujiangyan panda base and irrigation park as a day tour. However, if you have already seen the pandas before and you like hiking in the nature, please choose the option 2 to visit the UNESCO's natural and cultural heritage-Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan irrigation system. Furthermore, if you only need a private transfer to those attractions, please select the option 3 and 4

What To Expect
Mount Qingcheng
Option 1: For this option, you will visit the No. 1 mountain in west Sichuan-Mt. Qingcheng. So as the name "Mountain with Greens", the mountain is 98% covered by forests to be a natural oxygen bar. We will drive 1.5 hours from Chengdu downtown to Mt. Qingcheng and then walk about 1 hour to Yuecheng Lake. We will visit Jianfu temple on the way. The lake is right at the bottom of Summit Zhangren and it was formed by underground spring. The mist on the lake and the surrounds makes great picture in the morning. After that lake, we can catch the cable to the middle of mountain in 10 mins and then walk another 40 mins to the mountain top-Laojun Palace. You will have a bird eye of the whole Chengdu plain if the weather is good. In the end, we will follow the same way back the parking lot.
Dujiangyan Panda Park
Option 2: In this option, you can visit the much less crowded panda base at Dujiangyan. There is a panda base in Chengdu downtown, however, it is also the most crowded panda base as it is the closed one from Chengdu city center. You normally need to wait hours no matter how early you leave from your hotel. There are always hundreds of Chinese tourists are earlier than you(someone reach the pandas at 6:30 am to wait for the opening at 7:30 am). On the other hand, Dujiangyan is cooler than Chengdu downtown as it is at a higher mountain. You know, pandas are more active in the cooler weather. So, you can see the more active pandas in Dujiangyan panda base but with much less crowds.

5.00We did the Pandas and then the Irrigation system - a really good combination. The Dujiangyan panda base is quieter than the Breeding centre in Chengdu. Really easy to see the Giant and Red Pandas. The Irrigation system was interesting, lovely views, lots of walking and the Taoist temple was beautiful. Our guide Cora was lovely and driver excellent.

5.00Our family used Real China Travel for our private Chengdu/ Jiuzhaigou tour in July 2025 . Victor is very knowledgeable about the attractions in and around Chengdu. He makes every stop interesting, especially the Dujiangyan irrigation project. It has certainly left us with deeper understanding of the project. We also appreciate him guilding us to the most interesting sites first when time runs short. Would highly recommend Real China Travel and Victor for anyone considering travelling to Chengdu.
amazing trip

4.00This trip was intersting. We had our guide Ora. She could speak English gut. She told us many interesting about different places. Thank you very much Ora. We were with her everywhere the whole day according the programm. After were were very tired but happy that we had order this tour. We have an opinion that it is better to have two days to see those two places. one day is not enough.
The best travel agency, hands down

5.00We arranged a one-week trip with Victor from Real China Travel. It was one of the best trips we have ever taken and I cannot recommend Victor and Real China Travel enough. Victor is a gentleman, an intellectual, a historian, and a cultural ambassador all in one. From the first moment we connected, his focus was on helping us understand how we could have a great trip. I could immediately tell that I could trust him completely and that his depth of knowledge and expertise was unparalleled. Our trip encompassed two one-day tours in Chengdu, which included the Panda Park and Sanxingdui Museum. We also spent four days going to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, stopping at Dujiangyan irrigation and Mt. Qingcheng on the way. In every part of our trip, Victor guided us on where to stay, what to do, how to avoid the crowds, and where to get the most authentic Sichuan food. He is also a wealth of knowledge, sharing lots of fascinating historical and cultural context at each location. Victor's agency also arranges tours in other parts of China. We will definitely be using them for all of our future trips! The three pictures are from Jiuzhaigou. You truly have to see it to believe it.
Amazing tour

5.00Victor is an excellent guide and I highly recommend this trip. I had so many questions and he always knew the answer, whether I was asking about more recent developments or ancient history. There's so way I would have learned so much going to these places on my own and it would have so much less convenient. I'm really glad I did the tour!
Great day out!

5.00Victor was really helpful and make our trip much more easier. He speaks fluent English and are really well-versed with the history of Chengdu. We are really grateful for his kind gestures in helping us finding halal restaurants and mosque for the 3 days tour. We will surely have him again whenever we want to visit Chengdu. Thanks Victor!
