About this route

A flexible starting idea for a personal journey through Chengdu, Leshan & Chongqing. Each stop brings a different side of China, with time for both well-known sights and local life.

Chengdu

Visit giant pandas, try Sichuan food and spend an afternoon in a park teahouse. Chengdu also makes a useful starting point for Sanxingdui, Leshan and other Sichuan excursions.

Pandas, then tea

Chengdu Panda Base → People’s Park or a nearby neighborhood

Keep the afternoon light; panda activity and access vary.

History and local flavors

Wuhou Shrine → Jinli → A Sichuan meal

Choose a shorter version for children or a late start.

Build in a separate arrival or onward-travel block. The right number of nights depends on which visits you choose and your actual flight or train connections.

Leshan

Visit the Giant Buddha, explore Leshan’s riverfront and try local dishes around Zhanggongqiao or Suji. A walking visit and a river-view outing offer different views; Mount Emei needs additional travel time.

Buddha and a local meal

A selected Giant Buddha visit → Leshan dining

Allow for queues, steps and a proper meal break.

Food beyond the headline sight

Suji or a central food district

Choose one area and compare a few dishes instead of many distant shops.

Chongqing
