Chengdu: Zhongba Forest & Ancient Town Foodie Day Trip

Enjoy a refreshing day in nature and old-town charm on this fully private, easygoing trip from Chengdu to the enchanting Zhongba forest. Your English-speaking guide and private driver pick you up at your hotel, so the whole day is effortless.

Zhongba forest is a magical green retreat often compared to a storybook wonderland, with soft light filtering through tall trees and gentle, well-shaded paths. This is a leisurely stroll rather than a hike: you can wander at your own pace, breathe the fresh forest air, and stop wherever you like for photos and quiet moments among the greenery.

In the afternoon, your guide takes you to a nearby ancient town to discover its local food scene. Sample classic Sichuan snacks and regional specialties, browse the old streets, and soak up the relaxed atmosphere of small-town life. Your guide shares the history and traditions behind the dishes and the town.

A relaxed local lunch featuring authentic Sichuan flavors is included. The entire day is calm and unhurried, ideal for travelers who want genuine local China, easy walking only, and a real taste of regional cuisine.

Pets are welcome, and pickup is available from any address within central Chengdu.

A relaxed private day from Chengdu to the dreamy Zhongba forest and a nearby ancient town. Enjoy gentle forest strolling, local food tasting, and an authentic lunch with your own English guide.
