Three days in Chengdu lets you go beyond a whistle-stop: mornings with the giant pandas, a day at the Leshan Giant Buddha (or Emei Mountain), and a relaxed afternoon of teahouses, Jinli Street and hotpot. This 3-day private charter gives you the same car and driver throughout.
You pay from $250 per day, with one dedicated vehicle and driver. Swap days, add Dujiangyan, or extend to Emei — the itinerary is built around what you want to see.
