Full Itinerary Day by day

Day 1 Chengdu - Xiling Snow Mountain (L)

On this day, your guide and driver will pick you up at the airport/train station or your hotel in Chengdu. And then, drive about 2 hours to Xiling Snow Mountain that is reputed as the Oriental Alps with pleasant natural view. Besides, boasting Xiling Ski Resort (altitude: 2,200 meters) of 7 square kilometers wide to be the largest alpine ski resort in whole Southern and Western China region, Xiling Snow Mountain is also the venue to hold the annual “Southland International Ice & Snow Festival” in every winter.

After getting the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, take the cable car (about 10 minutes) up and the bus (about 10 minutes) to Xiling Ski Resort to have best fun in the pure white snow wonderland. Take the spotlight to enjoy skiing hours on the 2,200 meter high level covered in pure white and feel the excitement of the fast and the furious on ice and snow! Besides, you can choose more activities to play to the most to warm your winter holiday, such as the wilder Snow ATV and snowmobile to show more manful power, sledging to enjoy snow in a classic and leisure way, etc.

Snow ATV/Snowmobiling: Ride the cool ATV/motorcycles to gallop on the soft white snow. Leave the clear trace rolled by the big tire behind to fully show the powerful charm of men.

Snow Tubing: The favored activities for family and groups to show your team spirit and laugh out loud together. Sit on the tube facing the blue sky and slide along the professional and safe snow trail to feel the thrilling sliding from the peak to the lower location freely.

After the exciting play, your guide will accompany you to the hotel on Xiling Snow Mountain and help you check in. Have a good rest!

(Note: all sports on ice and snow like skiing, Snow ATV, snowmobile, sledging, snow cubing, and so forth need extra but reasonable payment.)

Wearing Tips: thick clothes like down jackets, sweaters, thick trousers, scarves, hats, gloves, etc. are recommended to keep warm. Sunglasses, sunblock, moisturizer, etc. are suggested to protect your eyes and skin!

Day 2 Xiling Snow Mountain - Anren Ancient Town - Chengdu (B, L)

After breakfast, you can continue to enjoy the exciting skiing and other activities on ice and snow at Xiling Ski Resort to fully release your enthusiastic love to life and nature. Then take the sightseeing Cable Car (about 40 minutes) up to Riyueping (Sun and Moon Platform) (Altitude: 3,260 meters) for more natural appreciation.

Riyueping: You will feel come from the earth to the paradise as you ascend there since charming sea of clouds shows there frequently. You can just stand quietly in front of the surrounding primitive forest or walk along the wood plank road to admire the soft clouds rolling near and far under the very clear blue sky like a mysterious piece of ocean that sometime submerges the summit of those lower mountains. Inhale the fresh and cool air here and think about where you are at this second! Besides, in some great sunny days, you will have a fabulous chance to see Mount Emei and Daxuetang Snow Peak far away. After the visiting, take the cable car to come down.

Next, drive to explore Anren Ancient Town that preserves 27 old mansions from the Republic of China period. Stroll at this national famous cultural and historical town to visit Liu Family Mansion that is the largest manor architectural complex of a landlord in recent China. You will appreciate the exquisite Western Sichuan buildings combined with typical Western designs like Gothic gate, Baroque pillars, and more exotic patterns on the doors, courtyard, etc. and thousands of relics of the host. Moreover, take a relaxing historical roam along the old streets to admire the ancient houses with dark bricks and black tires in richer Chinese characters along the sides and see locals enjoying sunshine, playing mahjong, doing their knitting, etc. to enjoy their simple but leisure life!

After the visiting, drive back to your hotel in Chengdu! Have a nice sleep!

Day 3 Chengdu (B, L)

This morning you will make a stirring visit to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding which is not only the most important panda scientific research center, but also dwelling home for more than 100 Giant Pandas. Walk at leisure through the bamboo framed paths, and closely observe giant pandas of different ages eating bamboos, playing with each other, tumbling, climbing trees, etc. Don’t miss the chance to watch female pandas nursing their cubs in the nursery rooms. There is also a very informative Panda Museum for you to learn more scientific facts about Giant Pandas.

Following the pandas, you will be taken to a hidden spiritual Buddhist temple in the hustling downtown of Chengdu - Wenshu Temple. Marvel at the exquisite Buddhist architecture, soak in the reverent atmosphere, and wander on the peaceful paths.

Chengdu is famous for its relaxing and leisure pace throughout China, which will be proved after a stay in People's Park. Sit down, order a pot of Chinese tea, make a casual chat with your friends and watching locals indulging themselves in different kinds of folk entertainment – napping in a lively teahouse, playing mahjong, disco dancing, neck massage, ear cleaning… Next is an impressive trip to the famous Jinli Old Street. Time steals away from you quietly while walking on the lively streets which are full of delicious local snacks, delicate artifacts, interesting folk shows, etc.

Hello Mr. Wonder Wang,

We have arrived safely to Kuwait and are now cherishing our memories of China. We had a very positive impression of the country and its people in terms of organization, cleanliness, friendliness, beauty and convenience. We would definitely recommend your company to our family and friends. We were well cared for by your guides, which made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Regarding your specific questions, we have these remarks:

1. Most definitely Mr. Wonder Wang was quick to answer our many questions. He offered valuable advice and was patient through multiple emails between our first point of contact a month before departure, during the tour of China, and until we returned home.

2. The service of the guides was generally very good. They gave us insight into the history and culture of China, and explained the significance of sites along the way. We also felt safe with the designated drivers. At the end of each guide's service, (s)he asked us to fill a questionnaire, and we can see why this is important. Generally our comments were very positive, but we did not have time to adequately assess one guide who was not at the usual standard for this company. His English name is Waldener. We felt he slacked in sharing beneficial knowledge of his city, instead joking around and showing off his knowledge of American history and culture. He was too familiar for our taste and his comments were often immodest. We feel he might benefit from more cultural sensitivity training. The remaining tour guides were very engaging, knowledgeable, dignified and helpful. Jack (in Beijing), in particular, was exemplary in friendliness and helpfulness.

We also have a couple other minor comments. The cruise ship had very little and usually no Internet connection, which was frustrating. On the other hand, the cruise manager kindly asked us about any dietary restrictions and made sure we had food that met our requirements. Likewise, two of the tour guides understood that we only eat halal meat and took us to a halal restaurant for lunch -- this unexpected consideration was highly appreciated. (This is a very important service for most of your future Middle-Eastern guests!!)

Thank you, Mr. Wonder Wang, for your professional communication and friendly assistance throughout this experience,

Sincerely,

Yaser
