Activities worth comparing

Ratings and review counts come from Civitatis and were read on 5 Nov 2026. They are listed from most to least reviewed, and a high score with only a few reviews is a weaker signal than a slightly lower score with hundreds. Check the date, meeting point and guide language on the activity page before you book.

A simple two-day shape

Day one: a panda visit, either tickets alone or a combined tour with Leshan, which Civitatis lists at 10 to 12 hours. Day two: a city walk or the Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan day trip, listed at 9 hours, and the Sichuan opera show of about 75 minutes in the evening.

Read the review counts

Chengdu has fewer listings than Beijing or Shanghai, and several have under 20 reviews. The scores are good, but the sample is small, so read the activity page for the meeting point and what is included.
