Off the tourist track
Amazing experience and scenery keeping you away from the more touristy areas and letting you see how Taoism is practiced . Doris also really made the day with her knowledge of the subject
Operator response
Sure, the irrigation system and Qingcheng mountain are less crowded than other places of Chengdu. We are glad to know you had a good day with the help of Doris. Welcome to join our tour again.

Great experience overall
Light hike up the Qingcheng Mountain, a lunch, and a visit of the Dujiangyan irrigation system with beautiful views of the Sichuan nature. Guide speaks good English and provides informative commentary and answers all your questions about Sichuan and life in China in general. On top of the tour price you pay CNY 160 for entry and CNY 80 for cable cars and shuttle buses but it's worth the price since it's an all-day program. I left hotel at 8:00 and came back at 19:00, so 11 hours.
Operator response
