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

Panda and irrigation park: English guided tour to visit Dujiangyan panda park and Dujiangyan irrigation park in one day
Pickup included
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.
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.
After we finish Mt. Qingcheng or Panda park. We will drive you to this shopping mall with a "Hogwarts School“ style bookstore. We can take very nice pictures inside and we can also have lunch there if you prefer western food. If you prefer Chinese food for lunch, we can surely recommend you nice local restaurants
