The rhythm

Two cities,
different tempo.

Begin with Chengdu’s softer pace: tea, pandas, markets and food with time to talk. Continue to Chongqing for hillside streets, river views and hotpot after dark.

Who it suits

Guests who want strong food experiences, local neighborhoods and a route that balances energy with slower mornings.

Who it may not suit

Guests who prefer only classic landmarks, dislike spice or want a completely slow rural itinerary.

Days 1–2Settle into Chengdu with a neighborhood walk, tea house and local food.
Days 3–4Pandas, Sichuan flavors and a flexible day beyond the city.
Days 5–6Travel to Chongqing, see the city from the water and follow the hills.
Days 7–8Hotpot, markets and a final day shaped around what your group wants to revisit.

Before you go

Questions travelers ask.

Is this a private Chengdu and Chongqing tour?

Yes. The route is designed for your group and can be adjusted around your pace and interests.

Is hotpot suitable for families?

We can recommend restaurants and spice levels around your group, including milder options and non-hotpot meals.

Can we add Jiuzhaigou?

Yes, although it usually works better as a longer Sichuan route. We can discuss the travel time and trade-offs.
