The Giant Biluddha is a must see and I'd recommend walking up and down rather than the boat tour as its really special seeing it up close. Highly recommended tour and guide.

Where pandas live, Chengdu, Real China life! Hi there! I am Victor Wang. I am from Leshan where the Giant Buddha is and now live at Chengdu where the pandas live. I have been taking tourists around China for a few western tour companies between 2004 and 2011. During this time, I bought my first camera and then I fell in love with taking pictures. The magnificent views, the impressive persons, and especially the memorable moments with my guests gave me a fantastic memery. In order to spend more time with my family, I quited the tour leader job and then worked in Chengdu as a local guide and photographer 2 years ago. I have been most of the places of Chengdu, especially the poor, backward and minority areas, for both groups and pictures. All these built me a passion to Chengdu and I really want to show it to the visitors. On the other hand, after 10 years working with the foreigners, I knew what you want to see, Real China life, but not just the morden cement forests. I will share my working experience in the Panda Base with you when we visit there. I will lead you to meet the real monks or Daoists in the temple, even eat with them. I will recommend you to try the culinary(yummy!) gems off the beaten tracks in the city and you can also learn how to make them. I will introduce you to see the lama's sutra-debating at the biggest tibetan buddhism institute. I will sugguest you the right place and right time to take a best picture. In a word, I will show you the best of Chengdu whilst saving your time and hassle. If you are planning to visit China, please do not miss Chengdu, if you want to visit Chengdu, please do not forget Victor! Let us meet as strangers but part as good friends!

Full day tour to enjoy the 150 years old tea house and 1200 years old Giant buddha
Overview of your Chengdu tour
Sichuan is renowned for its tea culture, which was once celebrated in many tea houses scattered throughout the city and countryside. Sadly, many of these old tea houses have now disappeared with the advancement of modern life. However, one of these original tea houses has been well-preserved and kept alive by the locals. Its walls are decorated with posters of Chairman Mao, creating a tangible link to a time long gone. As a photographer, I'd like to explore interesting places for pix. In 2012, I found this tea house coincidentally and took a lot of great pix. As it is on the way from Chengdu downtown to Leshan, I decided to introduce it to the travelers who are interested in Chinese culture. The Giant Buddha is an impressive 71 meter tall stone statue of Buddha located at the confluence of three rivers in Leshan. By the walking tour, you can walk from the Buddha's head to its feet by a zigzag cliff path. You can also visit the temples and gardens in the park.

I only got into contact with Victor 3 days before i arrives in Chengdu & unfortunately Victor was already fully booked for the week. Victor did not give up and was able to find me a solution so that my plan could go smoothly. The tour was superb, the guide Betty kept us informed about the big buddha. Also brought us to an 100 years old town, we like it as this is different from other old town of commercial flavor. The visit to the tea plantation was pleasant too.

Excellent tour! Victor was very knowledgeable, we learned so much on the tour and also about Chinese history. I would highly recommend this tour!

Victor was my tour guide for the Sichuan Heritage tour. Victor did a wonderful job...arrived on time, communicated well, and was flexible with the itinerary. I am a photographer and, given the fact he was also a photographer, he was able to take me places where I could get the type of photos I wanted. His English is very good and he is very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Should I return to China, I would use him again.
