A two-day private excursion from Chengdu that covers three UNESCO World Heritage sites without rushing: the Dujiangyan irrigation system and Mount Qingcheng on day one, then the Leshan Giant Buddha on day two. One hotel night is included, and the order can be reversed to suit your flights.
Morning — Dujiangyan Irrigation System
Discover the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a 2,200-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site built to tame the Min River. Its ingenious channels, embankments, and spillways, made with nothing more than bamboo, stones, and skilled labor, still control flooding and water the fields of the Sichuan plain. Walk across the Anlan Cable Bridge to appreciate the scale of this enduring engineering marvel.
Afternoon — Qingcheng Mountain
Hike Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist sanctuary shrouded in misty forests and long revered as a birthplace of Taoism. Visit the Tianshi Cave, associated with the origins of the Taoist tradition, and savor Taoist vegetarian dishes at a hillside temple. The serene paths and forested slopes make an ideal setting for quiet reflection.
Evening — At Your Leisure
The evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure back in Chengdu.
Morning — Leshan Giant Buddha
Drive to Leshan and come face to face with the Giant Buddha, a 71-meter statue carved into a cliff face during the Tang Dynasty. Begun in the 8th century, it is the largest stone Buddha in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Look up at the serene figure, whose head alone stands about 15 meters tall.
Afternoon — Boat Ride & Return to Chengdu
Take a boat ride along the river for a full-body view of the Buddha, or hike down the narrow stairway to stand at its toes. Afterward, return to Chengdu.
Evening — Wide and Narrow Alley
Enjoy free time at Wide and Narrow Alley, a trio of restored Qing-era lanes whose courtyards now house teahouses, cafes, and craft shops. It is a relaxed place to soak up Chengdu's unhurried atmosphere in the evening.
