Overview

This tour give you 2 options to visit Leshan Giant Buddha and Chengdu panda base or an authentic tea house at Pengzhen.
We run tours in Chengdu panda base for nearly 20 years and witness it developed from a small area with only 6 rescued giant pandas to a huge territory with over 200 captive pandas. We know the pandas and the panda base as our hands and to develop a unique visiting route to show travelers the more active pandas with less crowds.
Sichuan is renowned for its tea culture, which was once celebrated in many tea houses scattered throughout the city and countryside.
As a photographer, I found this authentic tea house coincidentally in 2012. Then, I decided to introduce every traveler about this place as it might be the Real China life in our memory.
After the panda base or tea house, we will drive you to Leshan where is not only famous for the Buddha but also the food. Our guide will also give you a food tour as lunch!
Join in us to experience the Real China life.

As a native speaker of Chinese, I normally do not use guides when traveling in China. However, we wanted to sign up for the Panda 1 day volunteering program and found Victor's services. As a Sichaun native, his knowledge of the history, culture and how to navigate the various paces we wanted to explore was priceless and helped make the whole trip smooth, informative and a wonderful experience all around. Victor is fully bilingual in English which also made it easier for me to not have to translate to my non - Chinese speak8ng family. Highly recommend...

Victor was amazing and most accommodating. During this Holiday time in Chengdu it was very busy and he was so gracious and patient. I tried some very good food that I hope to replicate once home. Thank you for making my experience in Lashan most enjoyable.

We engaged Victor for a 3-days trip covering Dujiangyan, Leshan and Emeishan in early December. The trip was relaxing and memorable. Victor is indeed professional, knowledgeable and sincere. He shared with us history of the places, among other things, as we traveled and introduced us the various types of local dishes especially those in Leshan that were so unique and delicious. Another highlight of our trip is the stop over at the Tea House - what a unique experience. Thanks to Victor for making our trip memorable! Highly recommended for those who are planning to visit this lovely city!
