Understand the city first
History, neighbourhoods, food, where to stay and how many days to allow.
Open the Chengdu guide ›THREE LEVELS OF THE JOURNEY
Begin in the city.
Move outward with purpose.
Use Chengdu as the anchor, separate nearby journeys from longer routes, then continue into western China’s highlands only when the time, altitude and access fit your trip.
Choose one focused extension
Separate true Chengdu-area trips from farther Sichuan destinations and avoid forcing several places into one day.
Compare nearby journeys ›Plan a longer route
Start with the routes already supported, then expand toward western Sichuan, Tibet and Qinghai as verified coverage grows.

Compare journeys around Chengdu ›Chongqing, China’s seven-dimensional city
