Journey Architectures

In 316 BC, General Zhang Ruo laid its first foundation stone, and Chengdu's heart began beating in rhythm with the wider world.

In 1280, Marco Polo followed the Silk Road into the city and marveled, “This city is woven entirely of brocade!”, inscribing the Land of Abundance onto the map of Europe.

In 1869, Father Armand David encountered giant pandas in the misty bamboo valleys—a Chinese symbol leaping onto the world stage.

In 1896, French engineer Robert de Guillemot dubbed it “the Paris of the Orient”.

Today, those very same bluestones await your footsteps.

Push open the city gate that has never cooled. Let the scent of tea, the rhythm of Sichuan opera, the art of Shu embroidery, and the simmering of hotpot greet you with one voice:

Come to Chengdu. Reawaken 6,000 years of living heritage.

Tour Route Details：

Day 1: Chengdu - Panda Base, Sichuan Opera & Night City Exploration

Morning: Panda Planet – A Rendezvous with Earth’s Cutest Ambassadors

Step into the secret world of Chengdu’s pandas, where over 100 fluffy giants roll and play in vast bamboo groves. Watch panda cubs tussle, snap selfies with adults, and uncover how China’s “Panda Diplomacy” helped save this endangered national treasure.

Afternoon: Intangible Heritage Opera – A 300-Year-Old Living Fossil of Theater

Enter a Qing Dynasty teahouse from 1740 (the era of Mozart), where opera masters preserve artistic codes older than the U.S. Constitution.

Face-Changing Mystery: 20 masks in 1 second – once a Ming Dynasty battlefield disguise, now an intangible cultural heritage magic that amazed Marco Polo.

Fire-Spitting Feat: Breathing out Bashu’s totemic flames, reliving rituals from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. When the chorus echoes (no microphones for 300 years!), ripples form in your cup of Bitan Piaoxue tea.

Backstage, touch Suzhou embroidery on costumes – every thread carries stories from the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Here, you don’t just witness history – you wear its soul.

“More thrilling than Broadway!” – @WanderlustKarl, German travel blogger

Evening: Cyberpunk Night Tour – Where Ancient Meets Neon

As dusk falls, the 400-year-old Jin River mirrors a neon skyline – skyscrapers transform into LED pandas. Dive into Jinli Night Market, where Ming lanterns dance with holographic art.

“Blade Runner meets Tang Dynasty grandeur!” – @DigitalNomadLisa (Instagram)

Day 2: Chengdu - Sanxingdui Museum & Sichuan Silk Museum

Morning: Sanxingdui Museum – Touching 3,200-Year-Old «Trans-Temporal Codes»

At dawn in 1200 BC, ancient Shu priests poured molten bronze at 1,000°C into clay molds. A 2.6-meter sacred tree (humanity’s first cosmic model) awoke in flames.

In 1986, a farmer’s hoe struck the 2.6-meter bronze tree—nine sun birds soaring mid-flight, a millennium older than the Garden of Eden. While Tutankhamun’s golden coffin was sealed along the Nile (1323 BC), Shu artisans poured a ton of bronze into ceramic molds. They used lost-wax casting to seamlessly bond 0.2mm gold foil without adhesives—a nanoscale metallurgy mastery modern laser welding barely matches.

Fish-bird-arrow patterns form the oldest “QR code.” 3D scans reveal bamboo-joint calibration—a political encryption system 700 years older than Delphi’s Oracle.

In 2016, Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Sanxingdui and was appointed its “Global Cultural Ambassador,” pledging to share its wonders with the world.

After gazing at the bronze tree, step into a true time tunnel: the Sanxingdui Workshop.

Bronze Workshop Decryption: Touch the “bronze neurons” of 3,200 years ago.

Explore ancient techniques: mold-casting (clay molds, copper pouring) and lost-wax casting (wax carving, precision founding). Compare ancient and modern methods to witness Shu bronze ingenuity. Craftsmanship isn’t about tradition—it’s about reinterpreting ancestral cosmic code with eternally evolving technology.

Hands-On Bronze Casting: A 3,000-Year Dialogue from Clay to Silicone 

As you pour石膏 “molten bronze” into silicone molds—note: your body temperature mirrors the Shu artisans who poured the sacred tree. This isn’t a craft class; it’s a quantum entanglement experiment across time. When you file the mask’s pupils to 0.1mm precision, an inheritor whispers: “You’ve unlocked Shu geometry.”

Spraying meteorite-black glaze, hidden patterns emerge under light: cloud-thunder motifs copied from the bronze figure’s robe. Your fingerprints now overlap with the ancient mold-maker’s in the same optical coordinates.

Ancient Chime-Bell Experience: Bronze Resonance – 3,000-Year Soundwave Transmission

Based on Sanxingdui bells and Zeng Houyi’s chimes, replicate bianzhong bells. Learn dual-tone acoustics and lost-wax casting, play ancient melodies, and feel the fusion of ritual music and technology. This bronze instrument hides acoustic secrets older than Greek lyres.

Jade Crafting: Jade Unpolished, No Art Achieved – Dialoguing with 3,000-Year-Old Stone

Become a Shu artisan. Use pebbles and agate knives to cut, drill, and carve jade as in 3000 BC. Hear stone chips fall like ancient heartbeats; each drill negotiates with time. In 40 minutes, a jade pendant with your fingerprints gleams in your palm. “Jade unpolished, no art achieved” becomes tangible—an wearable artifact of civilization’s code.

Afternoon: Sichuan Silk Museum – Millennia of Mulberry Roads, Silk Splendors

Silk originated in Neolithic China (c. 3000 BC). Leizu, Huangdi’s wife, discovered silk by chance, wrapping cocoon threads onto a spindle—the first silk thread, birthing clothing civilization. Shu weavers used 0.01mm silk to weave brocade flowing along the Southern Silk Road into the Indian Ocean 1,300 years before Marco Polo. In the 6th century, silkworms reached Byzantium via Persia; silk became a status symbol in Rome—China’s gift to global material culture.

While Europe Wore Linen, Shu Wrote Poetry with Needles.
Shu embroidery emerged in the Han Dynasty (206 BC). While ancient Egyptians wove mummy wrappings (3000 BC), Shu stitched totemic trees with silk. As Rome expanded, Shu’s “random stitch” created ink-wash clouds on silk 1,500 years before European embroidery. When Columbus sailed (1492), Shu dragon robes dazzled Iberian courts.
When Europe faced the Black Death (1347), Shu embroiderers used “robe stitches” for landscape perspective—two centuries ahead of Da Vinci. In the 18th century, Rococo-era Versailles obsessed over Shu screens; Lyon artisans reverse-engineered “shading stitches” from Chinese tributes.

In 2014, Claude Burlet, head of Champagne-Ardenne’s foreign affairs, visited the museum, fascinated by silk culture and hoping to blend French fashion with silk artistry.

Hands-On «Needle Kung Fu»: Silk Fan Making Experienc

When your fingers hook the first mulberry silk thread—“you’ve sutured 4.7 centuries of civilization.” The needle’s temperature curve is recorded in the heritage gene bank.

Ancient Shu embroiderers (3000 BC), Roman nobles on the Silk Road, Versailles craftsmen—their breaths sync with yours.

Learn “lock-stitch + rolling needle” techniques. Leave not just with DIY art, but a mini Southern Silk Road fan that could flutter to Rome.

“Cooler than embroidering crusader flags!” – Élise, Parisian designer

Dress in silk attire and enjoy a free photo session.

Day 3: Chengdu – Qingcheng Mountain & Dujiangyan Irrigation System

Morning: Qingcheng Mountain – Where Laozi Meets Socrates in a Mountain Summit Dialogue

In the 6th century BC, Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching on Qingcheng Mountain, while Socrates debated in Athens’ agora. When Plato taught idealism at the Academy (387 BC), Taoist priests here were using the Bagua to deduce the laws of cosmic entropy. This 1,800-year-old cradle of Taoism holds ritual codes older than Christianity—you’re not just hiking a trail, but stepping into a string theory collision of Eastern and Western civilizations.

“Here lies humanity’s earliest ecological wisdom!” – Dr. Wilson, Cambridge Professor

In 2018, Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen led a historic delegation to explore the hometown of pandas and visit Qingcheng Mountain-Dujiangyan.

In 2025, José Perurena, President of the International World Games Association, toured Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain during the Chengdu World Games, praising their serenity and harmony.

Learn Kung Fu from Master Zhou, 27th-Generation Inheritor of the Quanzhen Longmen School:

With over 18 years of experience, Master Zhou has been featured on Sichuan TV, Beijing TV, Taiwan TV, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and China International Media Network. His Taoist tea art demonstrations have reached 13 countries globally.

Invited by New Zealand, Russia, Uzbekistan, Mexico, Belgium, India, South Africa, South Korea, Azerbaijan, and the UN World Tourism Organization, he represents China’s intangible heritage worldwide.

(Should scheduling conflicts arise, alternate Tai Chi instructor Master Yin will lead the session: A 6th-Duan Golden Tiger Chinese Martial Artist, Sichuan Provincial Coach, and Chief Tai Chi Instructor of Dujiangyan Nanqiao Association. Winner of multiple international Tai Chi championships, including gold medals at the 2014 Lijiang International Wushu Festival and 2016 Wanxianshan International Wushu Festival. Served as a Tai Chi coach for the 31st World University Games and frequently represents Sichuan in cultural performances.)

Afternoon: Dujiangyan – A Quantum Hydraulic Project from 256 BC

While ancient Rome built aqueducts with stones, Li Bing and his son decoded fluid mechanics with bamboo cages and pebbles—this dam-free irrigation system from 256 BC still regulates the quantum-entangled hydrological network of the Chengdu Plain.

East-West Civilizational Convergence:

The Fish Mouth Levee’s “60-40 water split” algorithm mastered turbulent flow control 1,700 years before Da Vinci studied vortices.

The Flying Sand Weir’s centrifugal sediment expulsion aligns with orbital mechanics in Newton’s Principia Mathematica.

The Bottle Neck Channel’s water-shaping technology matches contemporary NASA data on Martian riverbeds with 91.7% accuracy.

“This is humanity’s earliest systems engineering!” – Dr. Brown, MIT Professor

In 1943, U.S. Vice President Henry Wallace exclaimed during his visit: “Dujiangyan is China’s pride—it supported our joint victory over fascism.”

In 2025, Michel Lino, French hydraulic expert and President of the International Commission on Large Dams, praised Dujiangyan as a “living fossil of global hydraulic engineering,” whose Fish Mouth and Flying Sand Weir designs reveal “an ecological wisdom that is a philosophical poem written to the river by ancients.”

Return to Chengdu: Explore People’s Park, Heming Teahouse (ear-cleaning experience), and Kuanzhai Alleys.

Chengdu Slow Living: From Heming Teahouse to Kuanzhai Alleys’ “Ear Meditation”

Intangible Heritage Tea Art: At Heming Teahouse (established 1923), bamboo chairs and gaiwan teacups echo Marco Polo’s “Venice of the East.” While Westerners type in cafés, Chengdu locals brew millennia of vitality with Sanhua tea.

UN-Listed Ear-Cleaning Artistry: Masters wield 18 tools—from swan-feather rods to cloud knives—performing a Baroque-style dance in your ear canal. More precise than Louis XIV’s wig care, this 0.1mm accuracy embodies Taoist “harmony of man and nature.”

Cultural Easter Egg: The silver tweezers used were once tools for repairing silk in Shu embroidery—now rewriting “Eastern sensory poetry” at your ear.

German presidents, Spanish ambassadors, and global dignitaries have all experienced ear-cleaning, tea, and opera here.

In 2016, Anthony Bourdain (CNN’s Parts Unknown) brought French chef Éric Ripert to Heming Teahouse. Bourdain called ear-cleaning an “ear-spa-heart attack”—a mix of tension and ecstasy—racking up 10M+ global views.

In May 2024, Irish travel vloggers Luke & Naomi (“L&N Wander”) uploaded a vlog from Heming Teahouse, where Naomi said “This is my closest touch to Nirvana,” pushing the video to #2 on YouTube’s China Travel Trends.

Kuanzhai Alleys (formerly Qing-era “hutongs”): blend 300-year-old tea fragrance with modern潮流 culture—once a Manchu garrison, now a “cultural hybrid lab” for global creatives. While Parisian cafés debate existentialism, Chengdu locals brew “slow philosophy” in teacups.

French architect Paul Andreu once marveled: “Every brick here hides a Ming Dynasty code.”

“More captivating than whispers in Parisian salons!” – Dr. Lee, Cambridge Sinologist

Evening: Night Tour on the «Future Chengdu» Double-Decker Bus – A Cyberpunk Poem Through Time

As neon flows down IFS Tower’s glass curtains like a data river, you board this mobile ark gliding between future and tradition. The streamlined double-decker bus cuts through the night, its panoramic roof weaving millennia of starry skies with cyber-metropolis neon into a fluid feast.

Traveling through temporal folds at light speed, it intertwines Du Fu’s poetry, Zhuge Liang’s stratagems, ancient abacuses, quantum communication, brain-computer interfaces, and space elevator plans into a future history. Chengdu—the cyber-civilization birthplace rewriting Records of Huayang with code—invites you to touch a new epoch of humanity from this moving exhibition hall.

Day 4: Chengdu – Sichuan Cuisine Museum, Aromatherapy Workshop & Traditional Meridian SPA

Morning: Sichuan Cuisine Museum – The World’s Only “Edible Museum”

Afternoon: Aromatherapy Workshop – A 3,000-Year-Old Olfactory Journey

From the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon to Nobel Prize-winning science, explore China’s profound legacy of scent therapy. In 104 BC, the Han Dynasty Mawangdui tombs revealed “medicinal incense pillows” containing the earliest known forms of aromatherapy. While Western medicine was still in its infancy, TCM was already using 28 herbs like agarwood and frankincense to chart the meridian system through scent.

Following Tang Dynasty “Ten Virtues of Incense” techniques, masters craft herbal blends from Yunnan roses and Hainan agarwood through nine steamings and nine sun-dryings. This process, dating back 1,300 years before European perfume distillation, creates 0.01mm particles that “quantum-entangle” with the body’s 14 meridians when ignited.

All formulas are nationally certified intangible heritage and comply with EU ECHA standards.

“More therapeutic than a Swiss spa!” – Dr. Müller, Nobel Laureate in Physiology

Hands-On Experiences:

Baduanjin Fitness Qigong: Northern Song Dynasty’s “human engineering” exercise system, recognized by UNESCO as intangible heritage. Each movement aligns with Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon organ theories, combining animal-inspired poses (“deer,” “bear”) with breath control—solving ergonomic mysteries 900 years before modern fitness.

“More refined than yogic breathwork!” – Dr. Schmidt, Nobel Laureate

Essential Oil Perfumery: Blend your signature scent using methods from the ancient text Qimin Yaoshu (544 AD). Masters combine Hainan agarwood and Jiangnan osmanthus through nine condensations, extracting molecular-level fragrances that embody “harmony of heaven and man.” Your creation inherits royal recipes from the Song Dynasty Perfume Bureau.

“More complex than Chanel No. 5’s formula!” – Dr. Wilson, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry

Mugwort “Ai” Herb Hammer Crafting & Herbal Drink Tasting: Experience the charm of traditional TCM. Based on Eastern Han Dynasty moxibustion techniques (600 years older than Roman thermal therapy), craft a herb hammer with mugwort and chuanxiong. Each tap releases 0.01mm particles that activate meridians, interpreted through the lens of classical acupuncture texts. Sip a secret herbal brew—where sweetness and warmth awaken千年 of wellness wisdom on your tongue.

Evening: Return to Chengdu for a Meridian SPA – Ancient Healing from the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon

Unwind with a meridian-based SPA where非遗 techniques guide every motion. Practitioners’ fingers trace acupuncture points like古琴 strings plucking melodies—each push and pull resonating with the rhythm of millennia. Agarwood swirls in the air, mugwort warms the skin, and your energy flow quietly recalibrates. Close your eyes, and you might hear Northern Song imperial physicians whispering spells—fatigue dissolves into mist, leaving only reconciliation between body and time.

Day 5: Free Day in Chengdu | Optional Shopping with Dedicated Guide Service

Recommended Shopping Destinations:

Hehuachi Wholesale Market

Southwest China’s largest daily goods market. At 4 a.m., bamboo baskets creak as sweaters (3 for $14) undergo Brownian motion. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle applies here: bargaining intensity inversely correlates with quality. Pay $2 for a panda plush (official World Games edition).

Chengdu Wholesale Trade City

A 3.6-million-m² vortex of commodities where herbal medicines and ceramics chemically react in Zone 6. Prices exhibit quantum fluctuations: ceramics wholesale at 60% retail cost, but hidden discounts require posing as a bulk buyer.

Chunxi Road-Taikoo Li

A Schrödinger’s cat state of consumption: $1.4 longchaoshou dumplings collide with GUCCI window photons. Under Tang Dynasty Daci Temple eaves and century-old neon, observe the wave-particle duality of crowds with a $42 per capita budget.

Global Center

Asia’s largest standalone building is a consumer singularity on a Möbius strip. Waterpark wave parameters superposition with luxury GMV: a $33 ticket grants 1.2m² artificial beach access, while Hermès’ photon flux equals the golden ratio of Jin River night boats.

As you cross the 30°N civilization belt with shopping bags, you’ll realize Chengdu’s pricing is essentially a Tao Te Ching:

Hehuachi embraces the Uncarved Block (拙 Zhuō).

Trade City follows the Dao (道).

Chunxi Road refines the Art (术 Shù).

Global Center manifests Momentum (势 Shì).

The highest form of shopping is a dynamic meditation on harmony of heaven and man.

“More vibrant than Fifth Avenue!” – Sophie, fashion buyer
