Destinations

Chengdu, China

Begin your journey in Chengdu — skip the overpriced Jinli Street and instead lose yourself in Kuanzhai Alley's quieter backstreets, sip cheap jasmine tea at a local park teahouse in People's Park, and explore Wenshu Monastery at dawn before the crowds arrive. Eat hotpot at a no-frills local spot away from the tourist belt.
Chongqing, China

Board a fast train from Chengdu and arrive in the electrifying vertical city of Chongqing. Wander the atmospheric Hongyadong riverside at dusk without paying entry fees, hike the Nanshan hilltop trails for sweeping skyline views, and feast on authentic Chongqing noodles and street-style skewers at Jiefangbei's hidden side alleys for next to nothing.
Chengdu, China

Return to Chengdu via high-speed rail to catch your international flight home from Tianfu International Airport — a seamless and fitting close to an authentic Sichuan cultural adventure that rewarded curiosity over convenience at every turn.
