What people love about Sichuan Tours
- 14 Day Walking Tour to Sichuan’s UNESCO World Heritages, Sichuan Province, China
Leo and the team were amazing to deal with and the trip definetly exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend them.
- Tailor-Made China Vacation to see Jiuzhaigou & Giant Pandas, Daily Start
Shopping stops were too long and a waste of time (eg silk factory). Only 2 hours at the Great Wall was not enough not give the relevance to the place. That was a dissapointment
This was a fantastic trip- highly recommended. Timing meant that I was the only traveller, and the whole journey was handled with professionalism and immense responsiveness. The tour was definitely a challenge in parts, but safety was at the heart of planning, and the guides were happy to let me decide what was possible outside things like thunderstorms and extreme heat. Rush, the primary guide, was very knowledgeable about the locations and sites- and he can talk for hours about them! He also ensured that food was abundant- seriously, so much excellent food- and will let you be as experimental as you like with the local dishes. We got on very well throughout the two weeks. Really, the only problem is that I have already finished the tour now, and cannot do the whole thing again with new eyes. Some of my colleagues have already signed up for a shortened version, and the company is tailoring the new trip to their requests. A great tour, a great company, a great set of guides, and absolutely mind-blowing countryside.

What our customers ask about Sichuan Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit Sichuan Country Region for general sightseeing?
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) provide the most favorable conditions for exploring Sichuan Country Region. The mild temperatures during these months make it comfortable to visit the giant pandas at Wolong Nature Reserve while fall brings vibrant colors to Jiuzhaigou Valley's landscape. The weather from April to October stays pleasant for outdoor activities and sightseeing ventures. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Leo and the team were amazing to deal with and the trip definitely exceeded my expectations with perfect timing for sightseeing."
What are the must-see highlights on a general tour of Sichuan Country Region?
Sichuan's main attractions center around its natural wonders and cultural heritage. The UNESCO site Jiuzhaigou Valley features 108 crystal-clear lakes while Huanglong Scenic Area displays remarkable travertine pools. The 71-meter Leshan Giant Buddha stands as an engineering marvel. Wildlife enthusiasts can observe pandas at the Chengdu Research Base and Wolong Reserve. The region's cultural depth reveals itself at Sanxingdui Museum Mount Emei and traditional neighborhoods like Kuanzhai Alleys. Most visitors stay at established properties such as the Dorsett Grand Chengdu.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a Sichuan Country Region tour?
The accommodation landscape in Sichuan spans from modern city hotels to traditional countryside lodgings. Chengdu offers upscale options like the five-star Chengdu Tibet Hotel and the four-star boutique Buddha Zen Hotel. In rural areas such as Jiaju Tibetan Village local guesthouses provide authentic stays. The Rundu Hotspring Hotel in Jiuzhaigou combines comfortable rooms with natural hot springs. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The mix of accommodations added to the experience - from modern hotels in Chengdu to charming Tibetan guesthouses in Danba."
How challenging is the altitude on Sichuan Country Region tours?
Elevation changes in Sichuan require thoughtful planning with altitudes varying from 500 meters in Chengdu to 4000 meters in Litang. Most tours begin in low-lying Chengdu then progress to higher elevations gradually. Stops at middle-altitude locations like Kangding (2600m) help travelers adjust before reaching higher ground. The Kangding Khamba Hotel serves as a strategic base for altitude adaptation. According to TourRadar travelers "The gradual ascent from Chengdu through places like Mount Emei (3099m) helped us adjust comfortably."
What type of local cuisine can I expect to try in Sichuan Country Region?
Sichuan's food scene balances its famous spicy dishes with diverse regional specialties. The experience ranges from traditional Sichuan hotpot in Chengdu to Tibetan yak butter tea in Kangding. Hotels like the Chengdu Buddha Zen Hotel serve both Western and Chinese breakfast options. Local restaurants in each region showcase their unique cooking styles. As one TourRadar traveler shared "The food variety was excellent - from spicy Sichuan dishes to milder Tibetan cuisine in places like Litang where we stayed at the Caterpillar Hotel."
How many days should I plan for a comprehensive Sichuan Country Region tour?
A complete Sichuan experience requires 8 to 15 days. Eight-day tours cover key attractions including Chengdu's pandas Leshan's Giant Buddha and Mount Emei. Extended 15-day journeys reach remote areas like Kham Tibet and Yading Nature Reserve. Properties such as the Dege Hotel and Xinduqiao Minsha Muxin Hotel serve as bases throughout the region. As noted by TourRadar travelers "Our 15-day tour gave us enough time to really experience both the cultural and natural wonders of the region."
