Daily Itinerary
Arrive in Chengdu, meet the confirmed transfer and check in at the hotel. Leave the remaining time open after the journey, with no attraction or admission assumed on the arrival day. The 5-day Chengdu Sanxingdui private tour starts its guided program the following morning with Chengdu Panda Base and Sanxingdui Museum, so consider the pickup and timed-entry details before resting for the night.
Spend day 2 with Chengdu Panda Base and Sanxingdui Museum, leaving enough time for the principal halls, exhibits, lanes or viewpoints rather than treating the visit as a photo stop. Keep nearby stops secondary to the time needed to understand Chengdu Panda Base and Sanxingdui Museum.
The cultural focus for day 3 is Dongjiao Memory, Wenshu Monastery, Jinli and Taikoo Li. Timed admission for Dongjiao Memory, Wenshu Monastery, Jinli and Taikoo Li and local traffic can shape the order, but the main visit should retain a proper sightseeing window. Keep nearby stops secondary to the time needed to understand Dongjiao Memory, Wenshu Monastery, Jinli and Taikoo Li.
Day 4 is built around Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, or Leshan. On this route, allow time for uneven ground, elevation changes and rest stops rather than judging Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, or Leshan only by map distance. Before setting out, check footwear, water, weather layers and the bad-weather alternative for Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, or Leshan.
Keep the final hours in Chengdu flexible for check-out, luggage and the terminal transfer. The trip ends after Choose One Day Trip - Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, or Leshan, with a traffic buffer around the booked flight or train.
