Travel Arrangements
Plan to arrive in Chengdu the day before departure. The first day starts early, and the final day can return late to Shuhan Road East metro station. Airport transfers and same-day onward connections should not be assumed.
Accommodation and Meals
Hotel rooms normally accommodate two adults. Choose the accommodation option before booking; a single supplement applies for sole use or when a suitable room share cannot be arranged. The final hotel list and room arrangement are set out in your quotation. Accommodation categories are not a promise of a particular official star rating. Meals follow the daily plan and the included-service list below.
Guiding and Language
The driver handles transport coordination and basic assistance, rather than continuous professional sightseeing guiding. Any local leader or interpretation session specifically included below has its own service scope. English-language service is not included by default. Request it in advance for a separate availability check and quotation; a separately arranged group may be required.
Walking and Altitude
This circuit reaches high mountain viewpoints, including the Yuzixi area at approximately 4,100 metres. Shuangqiao and Moshi Park also require walking; the ranch activities add their own physical demands.
Discuss the altitude and walking with a qualified healthcare professional before booking. Do not continue higher when altitude-illness symptoms occur; tell the driver and seek appropriate assistance. Portable oxygen supplies or hotel oxygen facilities do not replace preparation or medical care.
Experiences, Access and Conditions
Choose the photo option before booking. Riding is a short supervised activity, not independent trekking on horseback. All experiences depend on local operation and suitability. A cloudy mountain view or an unavailable sunset is not a failed guaranteed inclusion.
Scenic-area admission, compulsory shuttles and optional local transport are additional unless expressly included. Reserve applicable timed-entry tickets for the agreed dates using the appropriate passport details. Opening, road controls, weather and operator schedules may change the sequence or require an agreed alternative. Confirm the dated inclusions, participant eligibility and cancellation terms before payment.

Daily Itinerary
Leave Chengdu early and travel toward Mount Siguniang. Stop briefly at Maobiliang if visibility allows, then have lunch at your own expense before entering Shuangqiao Valley. Spend approximately four hours combining the park shuttle with selected boardwalk walks among mountain scenery, forest and streams. Your driver waits outside the paid scenic area. Continue by road to Danba for the first hotel night; traffic and road controls can make the arrival later than planned.
Overnight: Danba
Meals: Meals at your own expense
Cross the plateau toward the Yala mountain viewpoint and Moshi Park. Explore the stone formations independently, then continue to Gunong for the included mountain-view drink stop. Later, head toward Yuzixi if the road and viewpoint are open. Mountain views and sunset colours depend on weather, and fire controls can require a different viewpoint. Carry warm layers for the exposed high ground before continuing to Xinduqiao for the night.
Overnight: Xinduqiao
Meals: Complimentary hotel breakfast where available and timing permits; lunch and dinner at your own expense
Visit the ranch near Xinduqiao for the listed introductory riding experience and your chosen photography option. Continue through the Gerima village area toward Muya Monastery and the mani-stone surroundings, respecting local access and photography rules. The nomadic-host experience introduces the black-tent setting and local dairy refreshments. Return toward Chengdu by the S434 road, with a Honghaizi viewpoint stop when conditions permit. The group finishes at Shuhan Road East metro station, usually in the evening.
Overnight: No hotel included after the tour
Meals: Complimentary hotel breakfast where available and timing permits; lunch and dinner at your own expense
