Chengdu Giant Panda
This morning you will drive to visit the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base for a look at China’s universally adored mascot. The base itself aims to provide an accurate simulation of the panda’s true living environment. Once the pandas are adjusted to living here, the plan is to release them into the wild for the continuation and preservation of this endangered species. Visit early morning to see them being fed, climbing the trees, and sleeping before eating again in the afternoon. There are open grounds for pandas to roam freely and a nursery where babies are cared for.
People’s Park
Spend a leisurely afternoon in People’s Park, the largest green area downtown. With a lake, gardens,
teahouses, and monuments, it’s the best place to observe the lives of locals. Stroll along the lake, watch
people sing, dance, paint water calligraphy, or take a cup of tea in one of the teahouses and learn how to play Mahjong or Chinese chess.
In the early evening, transfer to the airport for your flight to Lijiang. Lijiang, or ‘beautiful river,’ is the capital of a large area inhabited by the Naxi minority people. Before this area was conquered by Mongolian Kublai Khan in the 12th century, it used to be a prosperous kingdom with a very strong culture – especially their unique style of writing Chinese characters.

Lijiang
Be an early riser to capture the sunrise at Black Dragon Pool, set against the backdrop of Snowcapped Jade Dragon Mountain. After breakfast, drive to trace the ancient path of the tea and horse road that winds its way through Shuhe village (10 min drive) – a place deeply rooted in the history of Naxi ancestry. With its stone-paved streets and serene babbling brooks, Shuhe is a snapshot of traditional Naxi life. Imagine a thousand years ago, merchants laden with silk, paper, salt, and above all, tea, halted at this village to rest their weary feet and nourish their horses. Meander through the streets, and it feels like you can still hear the exchanges of excited conversations and catch the lingering scent of spirits in the air.
Shuhe village
After lunch in Shuhe village, embark on your adventure (1 hr.) to Tiger Leaping Gorge, renowned as one of the deepest gorges in the world. An ancient legend says that a tiger used this rock as its stepping stone so it could leap across from one side of the gorge to the other, which is how this gorge earned its name. As a rugged and breathtaking natural wonder, it was once a crucial passage along the trading route.
Challenging your physical endurance, trek up to the halfway point and down to Tina’s (4-5 hrs.) where you will hop in your vehicle and return to your retreat for a sound sleep.

Shaxi
After breakfast, continue your road trip to Shaxi (1 hr drive), once a thriving trade station on the Tea and Horse Road. During the late 19th century, Victorian botanists came to Shaxi to collect exotic plant specimens for ornament gardens that were becoming popular in Europe and America.
The plants flourishing in many parks, estates, and gardens in the West originally came from this part of the world. But this is not just the botanical legacy that captivates people. Although trade between Yunnan and Tibet no longer traverses this route today, Shaxi retains a border-town ambiance. Its cobblestoned alleyways have kept their charm, reminiscent of how they appeared a thousand years ago.
Your guide will give you a good recommendation for lunch where merchants used to consume their food (not included).
Sidhenjie
Visit Sidhenjie, the heart of Shaxi where all the commercial trades were done. It’s in a square shape surrounded by a stage, temple, shops, caravanserai, red-rock roads, aged trees, and camp gates. Stroll through the streets, cross the bridge, and visit the Xinjiao Temple. This sacred site witnesses the countless hardships, prosperity, laughter, and tears that are etched into the very fabric of the ancient tea horse road.

ANNEXURE – TRAVEL TIPS FOR TRAVEL PRODUCTS
These tips set out below are NOT legally binding terms and conditions.
Passports, Visas and Health Requirements
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the required documents, including visas and passports, before travelling to a destination. For more information please log on to www.dfat.gov.au and www.smarttraveller.gov.au. Please check with the respective Embassy or Consulate of each country that you are travelling to, as many destinations require visas for both Australians and non-Australian passport holders. For more information, log on to www.visalink.com.au. You need to ensure that you have at least 6 months validity on your passport from the date of your departure return.
For International travellers booked on flights to the USA, including Hawaii, it is now mandatory, under the Visa Waiver Program to receive an electronic authorisation known as ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) no less than 72 hours before travel to the USA. This can be obtained from the following website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ .
For international travellers booked on flights to Canada, you either need a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to, or transit through, a Canadian airport. An eTA can be obtained from the following website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/apply.html
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations. Vaccinations are strongly recommended for certain destinations. You need to contact your local doctor who will advise you of these requirements. Please note that vaccinations may be recommended before your travel departure date.
Travel Advice
We recommend that you contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) or visit their website at www.dfat.gov.au for general travel advice, as well as specific advice (including safety alert levels) relating to the destination you wish to visit.
Ticketing
For international and domestic departure, e-tickets will be issued upon payment and completion of the booking process. All other travel documentation, such as hotel booking confirmations, will be emailed to the email address you provided as an e-document. Should the Provider issue paper vouchers, these will be posted to the address you provided.
Baggage Allowance
Baggage allowance varies from airline to airline and in many cases the airfare you have paid may not include the cost to cover checked baggage. Please check with your Travel Advisor and/or the airline providing your flights for the allowances.
Frequent Flyers & Special Requests
For more information on whether your airfare is eligible for Frequent Flyer rewards, please contact the airline directly. When booking online, please ensure that you have entered your correct number. For bookings made by telephone via our Customer Service Team, please advise of your Frequent Flyer details and these will be added to your reservation. We do not take any responsibility should an airline not register your trip. You should retain copies of your air ticket and boarding pass.
Special requests will be passed on to the Providers but cannot be guaranteed.
