★★★★★ 4.6 (164)⏱ 11 hours · Private🗣 English guide

Overview

A relaxed private day from Chengdu to the Tea-Horse Road town of Jiaguan and the cool, bamboo-shaded Pifeng Canyon, a gentle scenic escape into the Qionglai countryside.

About This Tour

Enjoy a gentle, scenic day in the Qionglai countryside southwest of Chengdu on this fully private tour, combining a charming riverside ancient town with a refreshing green canyon. Your English-speaking guide and private vehicle collect you from your hotel, so the day flows easily without crowds or logistics to worry about.

Your first stop is Jiaguan, a historic border town on the old Tea-Horse Road. Stroll along the banks of the Baimo River, cross its ancient stone bridge, and feel the soft, watery charm of this peaceful settlement. There is free time to find lunch among the town's local eateries and soak up the laid-back atmosphere.

In the afternoon you head to the Pifeng ancient trail and canyon, a roughly 5-kilometre scenic loop on comfortable paved paths and old stone roads. Lush bamboo arches overhead, keeping the canyon cool, shaded and serene, and the dramatic gorge landscape is a refreshing retreat on a warm day. Your guide sets a relaxed pace and chooses the most enjoyable sections, so the walk stays easy and pleasant rather than demanding.

With a comfortable rhythm, an included local lunch and beautiful natural scenery, this is a calm and authentic taste of rural Sichuan suitable for travelers of all ages. You are returned to your Chengdu hotel in the evening.
