Tour 'Wow' Points
Immerse Yourself in the Winter Wonderland of Bipenggou
With virgin forests, highland meadows, plateau lakes, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and waterfalls, Bipenggou is the best place near Chengdu to feel winter's natural charm, and it is a good alternative to Jiuzhaigou (currently closed).


Enjoy Serene and Scenic Skiing and a Natural Hot Spring Resort
Unlike Xiling Ski Resort, Bipenggou Ice and Snow World has natural snowy slopes with less crowding inside stunningly scenic Bipenggou National Park. Before daytime sightseeing and skiing, you can relax in a nearby snowy valley's hot spring resort in late afternoon or evening, staying overnight there.


Encounter Adorable Pandas in a Less-Touristy Panda Base
Dujiangyan Panda Base enjoys a favorable climate and natural environment with lovely scenic surroundings. It is easy to get to the front of each panda enclosure for close-up panda photos as the park is well designed and there are reasonable visitor numbers.

Have a private Sichuan cuisine cooking experience, learning recipes from a local chef. Savor tasty local dishes, and let a hotpot meal warm your stomach against the cold of winter.

China Highlights en Chengdu con Helen
![]() Helen en chengdu de la agencia china highlights fue mi guía favorita, es muy inteligente y a demás muy interesante todo lo que te dice, es muy amable y nos llevó a comer hotpot, estaba delicioso. Se encargó de que nunca nos faltara agua, ba?os, comida. Es muy paciente. Me gustó que era muy clara en sus explicaciones y nos sumergió en la cultura de chengdu de una manera divertida jugando majaong en una casa de té. Conocer los pandas fue maravilloso ya que ella fue muy lista al darnos el tour de manera inversa, empezamos por el final para que hubiera menos personas. A demás nos llevó a comer comida mexicana ya que extra?ábamos la comida de nuestro país y ella nos encontró un restaurante delicioso. more
