Chengdu Holidays


asia
The capital of China’s Sichuan province, Chengdu, is best known as the home of the giant panda, one of the world’s most beloved animals. A visit to the Giant Panda Breeding & Research Centre offers an opportunity to see these endangered creatures up close and learn about the conservation work that helps protect them.

Beyond its pandas, Chengdu is a lively city full of cultural treasures, with ancient shrines, peaceful temples, and charming teahouses.

Chengdu is also a paradise for food lovers. Its world-famous Sichuan cuisine is bold, flavourful, and spicy, offering dishes that range from fiery hotpots to fragrant street food. Sampling the local food is an essential part of experiencing the city.

Trailfinders offer a range of China holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore China with your own private guides and drivers, on a sociable small group tour or on a stopover en route to another destination - they are the perfect people to ask.
