A Song of Ice and Fire
This is a recommendation for people who would like to experience both the "cold" and "warm" in winter, explore a prosperous city and incredible nature.
One day, stroll down the busy street with barbecue in one hand and a bubble tea in the other. On the next day, hike on an ancient glacier at the foot of the highest mountain in Sichuan and soak in a hot spring in a snow world. This 5-day Chengdu and Hailuogou tour will satisfy all your desires for a memorable winter trip.

Chengdu Adventure
![]() Our experience was enormously enhanced by our guide, Fifi. Her enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge about the Pandas made the whole experience complete! We definitely enjoyed Chengdu’s food and nightlife. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Wenshu Monastery with Fifi providing detailed information and history that I found mind inspiring. You know, I had been to many monasteries before…but this was fascinating. We also had fun at the markets! LOL more
