Frequently Asked Questions
If you're coming from an international city, you can fly directly to Chengdu, as both Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport offer numerous international flights. Alternatively, you can fly into another major Chinese city and then take a domestic flight, high-speed train, or other transport options to Chengdu.
The driver will be waiting for you at the exit with a sign that has your name on it. After meeting you, they'll take you to the parking lot where the car is located. Just make sure to provide your flight details in advance!
Hello! The trip package includes one airport pick-up and one drop-off, and you can use these services on the dates that work best for you. Just let us know when you'll be arriving, and we’ll make sure everything is arranged!

Simply bring your passport, and you can purchase a SIM card at the China Telecom counter. They offer three options: 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day cards, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
Chengdu is known for its spicy cuisine, but there are plenty of dishes that are either mild or not spicy at all. For example, you can try the clear soup version of wontons (Long Chao Shou)—the broth is flavorful, with delicate wonton wrappers and generous fillings. Another great choice is Old Mother Pig's Trotters in Soup. It has a rich, fragrant flavor, and the soup is hearty without being greasy. You can also enjoy Sweet Noodles, which have a slight spiciness, but you can ask for less chili if you prefer. Plus, dishes like Boiled Dumplings in Chili Sauce (Zhong Shui Jiao) and Dan Dan Noodles can be made milder on request.
Chengdu has a subtropical humid climate with four distinct seasons. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant, so lightweight clothes like long-sleeved shirts and light jackets are perfect. In summer, it can get pretty hot, so you'll want to pack summer clothes like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, along with sunscreen. Winter can be chilly, so be sure to bring warm clothes like a thick coat, sweater, and long pants. The weather can be a bit unpredictable, so it’s also a good idea to carry an umbrella just in case it rains unexpectedly.
