Travel from Chengdu to Mount Qingcheng and Dujiangyan with a private car, entrance tickets, and an optional English-speaking guide. You’ll see Taoist temples, forested mountain scenery, and a 2,200-year-old irrigation system. Guides such as Weaver, Mark, and Diana provide strong local context. Lunch is not included, and the self-guided option uses a Chinese-speaking driver.

“Mark was prompt, friendly, accommodating, patient and attentive. I would highly recommend Mark. The lines were painfully long especially for the gondola up to Mountain Qingcheng. Mark gave us lots of warning and it tested all our patience. It’s the consequences of traveling during the Chinese Labor Day holidays May1-5.”
