Luxury travel to Chengdu made for you
China
Delicious cuisine, tranquil temples and captivating pandas
The capital of the Chinese province of Sichuan and known as a laid-back city with an emphasis on culture and relaxation, Chengdu is one of China’s most pleasant major cities.
Blessed by plenty of green space and surrounded by verdant countryside, wild national parks and snow-capped mountain peaks, Chengdu presents a far calmer atmosphere than many of China’s other bustling cities. This ensures it’s a rewarding location for a day or two of city living, as well as a jumping off point for the beautiful surrounding nature.
The youthful population, attributed to the many colleges and universities in the city, have created a vibrant nightlife scene, while the city’s iconic culinary prowess is sure to delight visitors – in fact, Chengdu was UNESCO’s first ever City of Gastronomy. Simply wandering the city will see you encountering many colourful temples and striking monasteries, while the teahouse culture will give you ample reason to slow down and take time to relax, much like the local population do.
A trip to Chengdu isn’t complete without experiencing the city’s devotion to the giant panda. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is home to approximately 100 of these treasured creatures, and this world-class research facility is dedicated to the breeding of giant pandas. Starting with just six rescued wild giant pandas, the population of the facility has increasingly grown since it was founded in 1987.
A word from one of our experts
Serious foodies should definitely consider visiting Chengdu – home to fiery, mouth-numbing Sichuan cuisine. Certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Communication and organization were excellent. The Jacada team was helpful and genuinely interested in our experience. The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their work.
