Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain in one day are the peripheral itineraries chosen by many families and small groups visiting Chengdu. It seems that the two scenic spots are not far apart. When making the actual arrangements, you have to take into account the round trip from Chengdu, transfer between the two places, walking in the scenic spot, meals and rest.
The private charter will transfer from the guest's hotel or designated location. The driver will arrive and wait in advance, and the guest can get on the car as soon as he leaves. The departure time is also determined by the guests themselves: if they want to leave earlier and have more time to play, they can; if they want to sleep in, it is no problem to start later. The rhythm of the whole day is arranged around the needs of the guests.
One day is enough time to visit Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain. We usually arrange this route and usually visit both attractions. How to allocate the morning and afternoon can be flexibly arranged according to the departure time, physical strength and interests of the guests.
Can Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain be visited in one day?
Yes, and one day is usually enough. We usually provide charter services on this route, and usually include Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain.
You need to take a car to transfer between the two attractions, and a private charter can just connect this transportation. After visiting Dujiangyan, guests can return to the agreed location to get on the bus, and then head to Qingcheng Mountain. There is no need to check for another bus, change buses, or drag their belongings on foot to find the bus stop.
Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, what are the main things to visit?
Dujiangyan mainly looks at the ancient water conservancy projects and the landscape along the river. Yuzui, Feishayan, and Baopingkou are the core parts that everyone is familiar with. Walking around, you can intuitively see how the ancients used the terrain to divide water, discharge sand, and divert water. The scenic area has both natural scenery and history and culture. It is worth seeing when you come to Chengdu for the first time.
The feeling of Qingcheng Mountain is different from Dujiangyan. The mountains and forests here are dense, there are ancient buildings and Taoist cultural landscapes along the way, and the overall atmosphere is quieter. The front mountain in Qingcheng is more about classic landscapes and cultural experiences, while the back mountain is more about natural landscapes and hiking. You can choose according to your own interests and physical strength.
For a one-day charter, you can refer to this rhythm
This is a relatively common order and is not a fixed template. The departure time, sequence of attractions, lunch location and return destination can all be adjusted according to the guest's arrangements.
| time period | itinerary | Considerations for this arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Set off | The driver will wait at the hotel or designated location in advance | The time is decided by the guests. If you leave early, you can spend more time exploring, or if you leave late, you can arrange it at your own pace. |
| morning | Visit Dujiangyan Scenic Area | Let’s first look at the main water conservancy projects and riverside landscapes |
| noon | Dining and short rest around Dujiangyan | Can be arranged according to guest tastes and tour schedule |
| afternoon | Go to Qingcheng Mountain and arrange tours according to your interests | Choose the front mountain or the back mountain to feel the landscape and culture |
| return trip | Return to Chengdu from Qingcheng Mountain | It can be returned to the hotel, or delivered to a restaurant or other location designated by the guest. |
Why do many people go to Dujiangyan first?
First go to Dujiangyan, then transfer to Qingcheng Mountain. The itinerary is relatively easy to understand: see the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project in the morning, have lunch at noon, enter the landscape environment of Qingcheng Mountain in the afternoon, and finally return to Chengdu. The experiences of the two attractions are not the same, and they won’t feel repetitive if they are placed on the same day.
From an execution point of view, if you complete one major scenic spot in the morning, it will be easier to adjust the rhythm according to your physical strength in the afternoon. If you walk quickly, you can stay in Qingcheng Mountain for a while; if the elderly and children are tired, you can also relax on the afternoon route.
However, the order is not fixed. Scenic spot reservations, season, weather, road conditions and guests' personal preferences can all be used as a reference to adjust the order on the day.
Qingcheng’s front mountain and back mountain, let’s take a look at where you want to go first
Qingcheng Front Mountain and Qingcheng Back Mountain are not the same entrance, and the tour methods and time required are not exactly the same. When combining it with Dujiangyan into a one-day itinerary, you usually only choose one of them.
If you are here for the first time and want to experience the culture and classic landscape of Qingcheng Mountain, you can focus on the front mountain; if you prefer natural landscapes and routes with a stronger hiking feel, you can learn more about the back mountain. Which side to choose depends on the opening of the scenic spot, the physical strength of the people traveling with you, and how deep you want to go that day.
It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference temporarily. You can first clarify the overall rhythm by telling how many people are in the team, whether there are any elderly or children, whether they can usually climb mountains, and what time you want to return to Chengdu that day. Tickets, ropeways and transportation within the scenic area are subject to the information announced by the scenic area on the day.
Who is more suitable for one-day charter?
When traveling as a family, it will be much more convenient to get on the bus directly from the hotel with the elderly, children, strollers or personal belongings. After the tour, you can return to the agreed location without having to temporarily study the next section of transportation.
If you go with friends or a small group, you can unify the departure time, lunch and return arrangements, and it is easier to communicate if you want to stop in the middle.
When you come to Chengdu for the first time, for company team building or customer reception, you will also pay more attention to route connection, vehicle comfort, pick-up location and overall rhythm. It is suitable to confirm the vehicle and itinerary in advance.
The private charter mentioned here is a privately customized one-day car.
The private charter on this route not only transports guests from Chengdu to scenic spots, but also provides a full-day private customized car based on the guest's time and itinerary. The fleet will arrange vehicles in advance based on the number of people, belongings, departure location and tour plan, and confirm the transfer point for the day with the guests.
The driver will arrive at the guest's hotel or designated location in advance and wait there so that the guest can get on the bus as soon as he or she leaves. The departure time is chosen by the guests themselves. If they want to leave earlier and play more, they can also sleep in and leave later.
After arriving at the scenic spot, the driver will try to deliver the guests to a location closer to the entrance and more convenient for getting off within the limits allowed by the road and scenic area traffic management. After the tour, pick up the guests at the agreed location and continue to the next attraction.
The return journey is not limited to returning to the original pick-up point. If guests want to return to the hotel, go to a restaurant for dinner, or go to other designated locations, they can communicate in advance and the driver will deliver the goods according to the guest's subsequent arrangements.
If you want to find a place to eat nearby, you can also chat with the driver. The driver can give some suggestions for meals, return journeys or subsequent itineraries based on the routes he is familiar with and local conditions.
You can communicate in advance at hotels, B&Bs or at locations agreed upon by both parties.
Guests can get on the bus when they come out of the hotel, without having to stand on the roadside waiting for the bus.
If you want to leave early and play more, or sleep in and leave later, you can.
Within the traffic limit, we will deliver you to a location closer to the entrance and convenient for drop-off.
After the tour, you can get on the bus and continue to the next place, without the need to temporarily check the bus or transfer.
It can be returned to the hotel, or delivered to a restaurant or other designated location.
How to choose a car model? In addition to the number of people, comfort is also important.
Although the one-day round trip is not as long as the multi-day route in Western Sichuan, there is still a round trip from Chengdu and a transfer between scenic spots on the same day. When the number of people is just full, the experience may be more comfortable in a MPV or a model with more space.
- For 1-4 people and not many belongings, a five-seater car is usually more practical;
- For 1-6 people, if you want to sit more comfortably, you can consider MPVs such as GL8 and Odyssey;
- If small and medium-sized groups travel together, you can consider Coaster or minibus based on the number of people;
- If you are bringing a stroller, large luggage or a lot of personal belongings, you can let us know when booking a car.
What factors mainly determine the private charter price?
The price of a one-day charter from Chengdu to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain is usually affected by factors such as vehicle type, number of people, departure location, date of use, whether to visit both attractions, waiting time, parking fees, tolls and other factors.
Road conditions and vehicle arrangements may also be different on holidays and ordinary working days. For the same one-day charter, the actual arrangements may be different for five-seater cars and MPVs, single attractions and double attractions, and departures from different areas of Chengdu. It is more suitable to discuss the itinerary and car model first, and then calculate the specific costs.
- On what day does it depart and where to get on the bus from Chengdu;
- How many people are there, whether they are elderly or children;
- If you want to go to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, just choose one place;
- At what time do you want to go back to Chengdu? Do you have any preferences for car models?
Leave some flexibility in your itinerary during holidays and rainy days
Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain are popular scenic spots, and roads, parking and passenger flow in scenic spots will change on weekends and holidays. If you encounter peak periods, you can set off earlier and don’t be too stuck on your return journey.
When the weather in mountainous areas changes, the scenic spot may temporarily adjust its opening arrangements according to early warnings. It will be safer to check the official notice and weather information of the scenic spot before setting off. If there are temporary changes on the day, the chartered itinerary can also be adjusted according to the actual situation through communication, but the cost of adding new routes or exceeding the agreed time needs to be confirmed by both parties.
