Overview

This private day tour is going to lead you to savor Sichuan culture by visiting Jinsha Museum, enjoy a cup of tea at People’s Park, try the local hot pot cuisine, and watch a special Sichuan Opera.

After your hotel pickup in the morning, you'll first visit the Wuhou Temple. It is the largest museum of the site left from the Three Kingdoms Period of Chinese history, and a very quiet oasis in the city. You will then walk around and explore Jinli Old Street, which is neighboring to the Wuhou Temple. 

Later, you will have the opportunity to try hotpot lunch feast at a local restaurant. Hotpots are very popular in Chengdu, and are known for its spicy and hot flavor. Although this kind of hotpot is taken as the Chongqing specialty by the locals, it has become famous and popular all over the country.

After lunch, you'll visit the Jinsha Site Museum, which is a museum established on Jinsha ruins, and is also a museum to showcase ancient Shu culture in Sichuan area during Shang and Zhou dynasties. Next, continue to People’s Park, where locals relax themselves by singing, dancing, playing cards or chess...etc. You could also have a cup of tea at local tea house and enjoy the leisure time in the park. 

After dinner, you will be provided a transfer to enjoy a traditional Sichuan opera show. Sichuan Opera is characterized by unique solos, refined performance, percussion instrument and talented comedians. In this performance, you will see various unique skills such as the Facing Changing Show which enjoys international fame for many decades and Hands Shadow Show which only performed by hands rather than actors.

Food is great! Especially, if you like mala. You come to the right originated city. Historical site is properly maintained and preserved. There is hired translator at door step. Toilet is found at every site with proper lights and toilet paper.

It has taken me some time to write this script but it is a review that must be shared. In June 2019, my family had a small window of time to have a break and we decided to explore China, and with Top China Travel. Off course, as non-Chinese speaking tourists, language was a key consideration. That trip, put together entirely by Consultant Tracy Su, went superbly well. As we approached the end of the Singapore school terms in November, we decided to take another trip, again with guidance and advice by Ms Su. Our trip to Chengdu was expertly counselled by her: What is possible in terms of travel time; Where to visit, based on our interest; The interesting places that were open and sometimes, she advised us against certain trips because they were long haul as that is not what we wanted (i.e. we wanted a leisurely trip). Two trips in 2019 under the expert guidance of Ms Su - Expert advice, got the best guides on-the-ground, she called in to check on our trip (not frequent when you book private tours to other parts of the world), and ensure every detail was meticulously adhered to. Thank you to TCT and Ms Su for their expert service quality and culture. Also, special thanks to our guide – Snow – who attended to every detail of the trip. For example, on our evening trip to view the Sichuan Opera, she informed us of the crowds and how we should look after ourselves. Likewise, the trip to Qingcheng Shan. We enjoyed the trip and kudos to her for making it happen. For those looking to understand service quality from a China travel agency, look no further. We will be returning as customers to TCT.
