Rainy day trip from Chengdu to Qincheng/Dujiangyan was pure magic! 🌧️ Mist-covered mountains, easy cable car, and mind-blowing ancient engineering—grab a guide! Total bliss. 🌿✨
Enjoyable tour to the Duyjangyan irrigation system and Mount QingCheng. The irrigation system was really interesting, particularly with how it was completed so long ago, some great pictures with the mountains in the background as well. Mount QingCheng was also a really interesting look into the birthplace of Taoism in China. There was lots of outdoor walking in some beautiful scenery as well. Guide Lucy was friendly and very knowledgeable, great for a first timer to China
Both Mount Qinsheng and the Dujiangyan irrigation system are beautiful places teeming with history of taoism and chinese engineering, respectively. I highly recommend everyone visits those spots when in Chengdu. My guide, Amber, was very helpful and friendly. Her informative explanations about the history and meaning of visited places were crucial for satisfying my interest. I would highly recommend this experience.
Lucy gave me an excellent experience to mount Qingcheng. She's very friendly, taught me a lot about Taoism, Chinese culture and we talked considerably about our own personal lives during that whole time. I loved the whole experience. She definitely knows Chinese history since I've questioned her about millions of things, to which she replied masterfully. The rain ruined our entrance to the Irrigation System, so mind of the weather on the day that you book.
I had a private tour with my tour guide Amber. I was picked up right on time and she gave me a lot of back ground information on the hour drive to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. Amber knew all about the engineering behind this 2000 year old marvel and really made me appreciate the brilliant design. We were then off to Mount Qingcheng for a two hour walk up stairs to Shangqing palace. Make sure you have comfortable shoes and are ready for a lot of stairs (my Apple watch recorded 42 flights worth!). Amanda even helped me find my Taoist protector. Great trip, highly recommend!
A highlight when visiting Chengdu, a historical mountain with deep cultural and spiritual meaning for Taoism and China. Sharlene was a marvelous guide, knowledgeable, gentle and smart.
We had a great time and our guide was very knowledgeable... this is the first time we visited chengdu, and we loved this city.
The whole experience, from the booking through the actual tour was an excellent. Lilly provided clear communication leading up to the tour date which eliminated any questions or concerns. On the day of the tour, Molly, our tour guide, did an excellent job. She knew the location well and was able to provide interesting facts as we progressed through our day. This is a first rate, highly professional team.
I booked this for my parents and they enjoyed the tour. They were lucky with good weather and the tour guide brought them to a highly rated restaurant for lunch. The car was comfortable and spacious.
The tour guide Cassie was the best tour guide I have met. She explained the rich history behind the sites very well and my son was captivated by the intriguing stories. The driver was also very nice and helpful. Overall it felt like traveling with good friends instead of with a company. I would recommend this tour company to everyone.
Our guide, Lucy, was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Lucy was very flexible with the itinerary and customised it according to our requests. Lucy also shared with us many tips and popular eateries we can consider in Chengdu. Separately, the booking process was simple and Lily, the sales representative was responsive and informative. Highly recommend! Suitable for all types of travellers, family with elderly, family with young children, couple or even solo.
We booked with WestChinagGo a daily tour for "Panda Feeding+Dujiangyan Irrigation System". Everything was perfectly organized (thanks to Lily support) and our tour guide (Terry) was very helpful. He gave us a lot of recommendations to enjoy our time in Chengdu. His english is perfect! If you love panda the feeding experience is highly recommended, you will see one panda very close! even if for two minutes... and the irrigation system is pretty unique in the world and the location is very nice. We went in summertime and even if it was very crowded, we love the experience.
Outstanding day with Bella (Su) being guided to volunteer with pandas and on a mountain walk. Bella has an enormous wealth of knowledge to share, is immensely helpful with all our endless questions and very adaptive to the groups needs as the day went along. Really enjoyed meeting Bella and would very highly recommend - she went above and beyond!
Lily did a great job of not only planning my private tour but rescheduling it a day early after Air Canada decided to move my flight up by 12 hours at the last minute -- and arranged a panda volunteer program to boot (a must do these days, it's the closest you can still get to the pandas). Sharlene my guide was cheerfully, friendly and knowledgeable -- plus called around to find out details on museum visits I'd planned for after the tour finished to boot. Excellent service all around from early morning airport pickup to evening dropoff, would recommend unconditionally for your Chengdu visit!
Our guide, Flora, was just incredible. Her English skills are excellent and her knowledge of the areas we visited was outstanding. Climbing the mountain to see the birthplace of Daoism as an experience of a lifetime. We took a short boat ride across a cute little lake and then a cable car ride and then a walk. We were so lucky with the weather and when we got to the top the view was amazing. There was a sense of peace and natural beauty just by being on the mountain. I can't recommend Flora highly enough.
After seeing Xi'an, We came to Chengdu. With my last minute planning, I arranged through recommendation seen on TripAdvisor a private day tour to Dujianyan Panda Base and Dujianyan irrigation system. Lily, an organizer of the company, is an expert in the local area. First, she waived our admission fees to the Panda base once she knew that we are Hong Kong citizens (we didn't even know we could get in for free). Secondly, she managed to get my 8y/o daughter to join the volunteer program which the park doesn't allow kids under 12 to participate. What a fantastic well-planned arrangement before our trip has even begun. It already has exceeded any and all expectations. We met our guide Ruby at 7am early in the morning. When outside was still gloomy and dark, she greeted us with a bright smile which swept our coldness and sleepiness away. She is an expert on everything around and involving Chengdu, very knowledgeable and especially passionate about pandas like nobody we've met before. In the park, we took an electric cart to the top of the hill and strolled down. The grounds of the panda park are well kept, peaceful and tranquil. The air is refreshed with a zen smell of bamboo trees everywhere. We saw different pandas, and they all had different eating and sleeping habits. Some liked to eat the stems of the bamboo, and some prefer leaves. We saw one who kept tearing the leaves to accumulate enough leaves in his mouth, took them all out , rolled them into a roll, and ate it. What a bamboo connoisseur! Ruby felt like a family member and did everything to make our trip special. We chatted nonstop for 2 hours on our return trip. Time flew when you're talking with someone that's so passionate about her job, and knows so much about the locals. Our visit to the Panda center is a great experience, but our encounter with these two charming ladies, Lily and Ruby, is even a better delight. We can't be happier for our panda visit on X'mas day 2018!
Our guide Shelley was on time to pick us up, and has been enthusiastic throughout the day, sharing her knowledge on Chengdu and various aspects of daily life. She spent time walking us through the areas of interest during the visits and pointed out to us many things of interest. Our driver Mr. Wu is also very pleasant, having to negotiate a few traffic jams, and made the day's journey easier. A delicious lunch as well together.. thank you for a great day out!
Lily's expertise, sense of humor, and warmth made a great encounter with pandas and history perfection. Her timely responses and helpful suggestions made planning our 3-day trip to Chengdu relaxing, yet fun-filled. Her driver, Mr. Chou (sic) was calm and pleasant, which we have concluded, after having multiple drivers throughout China, is a special gift. The panda experience was a once-in-a-lifetime event; but the unexpected beauty of the irrigation district was a pleasant surprise. Lily also coordinated subsequent days' transportation for us, and was helpful in many ways long after our excursions with her were completed. She is a consummate business woman!
If I ever were in China again I would visit Mount Qingcheng again, without a doubt. The scenery is beyond description, and the historical grandeur is majestic. Winnie, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge and a fun person to go on this adventure with.
This is a full and fabulous day. We had Winnie as our guide who is truly amazing with her knowledge and helpful hints to enjoy our time in Chengdu. Mount Qingcheng you do have to be fit it is a bit of a hike to the top. Dujiangyan Irrigation system is amazing and interesting.
a peaceful experience after a panda experience that's what I really loved about this. it is a must do while in chengdu to capture history of this wonderful city
<p>The tour was good. Our tour guide, Ivy Wang did a wonderful job. She took care of us the whole trip and accommodated to our needs during the entire trip. We will definitely recommend her.</p>
<p>This was a great tour! Our guide Abby was very knowledgeable and was an amazing guide. We enjoyed the beautiful hike easy up Mount Qingcheng to the Taoist Temple. There were so many beautiful photo opportunities and Abby allowed us to move at our own pace. The Dujiangyan irrigation system was also another beautiful site. This was a FULL day tour with lunch- which was very good as well. Abby and Lily handled all the transportation and ticket arrangements so all we had to do was to sit back and relax and take in the wonderful sites.</p>
<p>First, my compliments to a very professional, knowledgeable and attentive guide Mia.<br/> The Dujiangyan Irrigation project truly shows the intellect and engineering abilities of the builders. If the stunning visuals are not enough, the scope of the project should impress anyone. A photography buffs delight. Sadly, only limited physically challenged access assistance available.<br/> The initial impression of the Mt. Qingcheng park is just as impressive as the visit. However, physically challenged access is limited to the base portion of the park and anyone who wants to visit the top needs to have great walking shoes, be willing to do some climbing, and have lots of energy for a lengthy effort.</p>
<p>This was a great introduction to the outer reaches of Chengdu! Cassie was a really wonderful tour guide and Fish provided good driving service as we drove out to Mount Quingcheng and Dujiangyan. Cassie and Fish kindly postponed my departure time, since I'd just flown in from California the night before, but I recommend sticking with the early departure time. We ended up stuck in both morning 1.5 hours and evening 2.5 hours rush hour traffic which was quite bad and I'm from San Francisco so I know bad traffic!. Besides the traffic, the tour agenda was just right. Seeing the World Heritage sites was fascinating, and Cassie provided a running commentary that was both informative and entertaining. The extra transportation at Mt. Qingcheng electric cart, boat, and aerial lift was helpful to someone experiencing jet lag and feeling the effects of elevation. We stopped at a very good neighborhood restaurant for lunch, and I got to see the kitchen and some of the cooking! Be prepared to eat with chopsticks! Then we toured the Dujiangyan irrigation system which is an amazing engineering and construction project still functioning since 200BC! We didn't have time to drive to the top most viewing spot, but walked all around the project area near the river level. I'll go to the overhead viewing spot if I ever go back, but the diorama set up in the Qinyan Pavilion gave a good overview of how the project was designed, as long as Cassie was there to translate the signs! I recommend this excursion for those that want to get out of downtown Chengdu and see some of the countryside.</p>
<p>This tour was fantastic! The guide was really friendly and informative, and the driver was extremely professional. Highly recommended!</p>
<p>We had an absolutely amazing day with Lily from WestChinaGo Travel Service. The entire experience was incredibly personalized, well-balanced, and fun from start to finish. Lily was extremely professional and thoughtful and incredibly responsive to our inquiries and needs. She was particularly attentive to each member of our group's needs which made for a very positive experience.</p>
Business trip to Chengdu, with little time to visit the area, was the best way to visit two Unesco heritage sites in one day. Our guide, Flora, was very professional and had excellent English. And a good sense of humor. The driver was also very professional. Our guide recommended starting early in the morning in M. Qingcheng, and it was a good idea to do the climb with fresh and few people. The price included lunch and drinks. The whole deal with Westchinago from the first contact with Lilly, was very clear, fast and simple. They do not ask for advances to confirm, it is paid at the end of the tour. I recommend this agency. I will definitely be back with them on my next trip to Chengdu.
