The Yulong River is the most scenic branch of the Li River and is even more elegant. Follow your guide this morning to discover its beauty in your preferable way, either hiking or biking, and then move forward to a small island on the Li River in Xingping.

The rest of the day is free for you to explore the island, you can hop on a golf cart to travel around the island and glance at the people's life or sit on the terrace of your hotel to relish the rustic tranquility. In the right season or on the correct day, you can also ask for a farmland experience, fruit picking in the orchard or barbecue on the river beach, or a bamboo cruise at night to enjoy the full moon.

Afterwards, transfer to Ruyi Mountain. Take a cable car to marvel at the surrounding mountains and challenge the thrilling glass skywalk above awe-inspiring scenery. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure - it's recommended to stroll around West Street, a vibrant hub brimming with the cultural charm of Yangshuo.

We had an incredible time exploring Dali with Wandrift China Tour. The ancient towns, peaceful Erhai Lake and stunning snow-capped Cangshan Mountain took our breath away. Dali’s slow lifestyle, fresh air and unique local culture are absolutely charming. Every arrangement was well-organized, and our guide was friendly, professional and thoughtful. Thank you so much to Wandrift China Tour for creating such a wonderful and memorable Dali journey for our family. We truly enjoyed every moment.

We fell in love with the slow, gentle vibe of Chengdu, home to cute pandas and tasty local snacks. Chongqing amazed us with its unique mountain city views, magical night scenery and authentic hot pot. Every moment was romantic and relaxing. The local culture, warm atmosphere and delicious food made our trip perfect. It has become our most precious travel memory together.

Chengdu est tellement belle, j'aime beaucoup Chengdu, c'est la première fois que je vois des pandas géants, et la ville de Chongqing est vraiment magnifique. Les différences de hauteur des bâtiments dans toute la ville me donnent l'impression d'être dans une ville du futur.

The car is brand new. V rented it for two days: one day for a 10-hour tour in Hong Kong, and one day to take us to Shenzhen to visit and then return us to Hong Kong later that evening. NOT BAD.

My mom and I took this 5-day Chengdu tour. She's 68 and likes temples, tea, and slow walking. This trip was made for her. First day in Chengdu, our guide Wei took us to a local teahouse where old men played mahjong and parrots whistled. Mom loved it. Next day, Leshan Buddha. The stairs down to its feet are steep, but Wei found us a boat instead. Seeing the 71-meter giant from the river, mom just kept saying "wow." Emei Mountain was the highlight. We stayed overnight at a temple near the summit. Monks chanting at dawn, mist rolling through ancient pines. Mom cried a little. "My father told me about this place when I was a little girl," she said. Wei carried our bags the whole way. Small thing, meant everything. For anyone traveling with older parents in Sichuan, book this.
