Tour Description
Tour A: Panda Tour, Sichuan Provence Museum, Antique Market & Shopping (Full Day): US$300 plus your expenses, entrance fees, transportation costs
I will meet you at your Chengdu hotel and we will take a taxi to the Panda Preserve to see Giant Pandas, Red Pandas, and Baby Pandas. Make sure to bring your camera! Afterwards we will taxi to a Chinese antique market where we will stroll around and browse in shops until we are ready to break for lunch. Tired of tourist food? We will pick an authentically local restaurant, where we will eat delicious local food in a clean setting. After lunch we will head to the Sichuan Provincial Museum to view culturally significant art of the area, including paintings, calligraphy, cultural artifacts and the history of our wonderful Sichuan heritage. This will truly give you an understanding of Sichuan province, our heritage and our culture as neighbors to Tibet.
Once you are ready to leave the museum, we will go to the Narrow and Wide Alley, the oldest residential/shopping area in Chengdu. You may have heard of Jingli Street? – this is similar in style, shopping, and architecture except… it is authentically 300 years old, dating back to the Ching Dynasty. Here we will stop for afternoon tea in the courtyard of the Dragon Town Tea House befor heading back to your hotel.
