Chengdu is China's most relaxed big city — famous for spicy hotpot, teahouse mahjong, and the legacy of the Three Kingdoms. This city highlights tour pairs the Wuhou Temple (shrine to strategist Zhuge Liang), the lantern-strung Jinli Ancient Street, and a seat in a traditional teahouse where locals play mahjong.
A private car with a driver on standby makes it easy to hop between sights and stop for food. From $80 for a laid-back city day, or add the Panda Base for a fuller day.
