China Highlights en Chengdu con Helen
Helen en chengdu de la agencia china highlights fue mi guía favorita, es muy inteligente y a demás muy interesante todo lo que te dice, es muy amable y nos llevó a comer hotpot, estaba delicioso. Se encargó de que nunca nos faltara agua, ba?os, comida. Es muy paciente. Me gustó que era muy clara en sus explicaciones y nos sumergió en la cultura de chengdu de una manera divertida jugando majaong en una casa de té. Conocer los pandas fue maravilloso ya que ella fue muy lista al darnos el tour de manera inversa, empezamos por el final para que hubiera menos personas. A demás nos llevó a comer comida mexicana ya que extra?ábamos la comida de nuestro país y ella nos encontró un restaurante delicioso. more

Here is a suggested itinerary and it is adjustable based on your needs. The time points in the following itinerary are for reference only. Your guide will adjust according to the actual circumstances of the day and your requirements.
Your private guide and driver will promptly meet you at your hotel, ready to embark on a day's leisure journey with you.
Venture into the century-old Chengdu People's Park and begin your laid-back day. In the main square, locals participate in various activities like tai chi, kicking a shuttlecock, and square dancing. The daily ritual of stopping at a teahouse to meet friends and chat began in Chengdu at least 1,000 years ago. Take a seat and sip a cup of tea. Your guide will explain the etiquette of how to drink tea and the intentions you express when you put the lid, bowl, and tray in different places.
Chengdu is the main home of Sichuan opera. Every day, there are many grassroots opera houses that we recommend. After lunch, follow your guide and have a chance to step backstage to see how the actors and actresses make up and chant with them.
Next, journey to the Wide and Narrow Alleys, the treasured remnants of Chengdu from the Qing Dynasty era. Here, you can delve into Chengdu's folk culture, explore ancient architecture, or shop for unique crafts and local snacks. Amidst traditional teahouses and modern cafes, experience a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.
At the end of the trip, we will escort you to your hotel.
