Day 3

Dujiangyan and Qingcheng

Choose the priority between Dujiangyan and Qingcheng if walking or timing is limited. Combining both needs an agreed route, not an assumption based on proximity.

Day 4

Sanxingdui and Sichuan cuisine

Use the confirmed Sanxingdui reservation to set this day. Keep a Sichuan meal as a flexible finish rather than committing to a distant extra excursion.

Slow Chengdu life

Leave the final day for a teahouse or nearby lanes, with luggage collection and departure travel planned first. This reference does not confirm a shared-group departure.

Practical Notes

  • Start early for popular Chengdu attractions and better photos.
  • Private transfers keep the route efficient, especially across larger scenic zones.
  • Meals, ticket timing and walking intensity can be adjusted before booking.

Choose your excursion priorities for five days

Keep Leshan as a separate excursion and decide your priority between Dujiangyan and Qingcheng when walking or time is limited. Use the Sanxingdui reservation and your departure details to fix the remaining order. This Chengdu reference is different from the published Chongqing–Jiuzhaigou–Huanglong six-day route.

Mention the Chengdu five-day reference, the excursions you most want and any walking limits. Include dates, hotel or meeting areas and actual arrival and departure times. Transport, guiding language, tickets and accommodation are confirmed in an individual quotation, not automatically included by this page.
