Who travels this way
Adventure & wilderness travellers
Hailuogou at the foot of Gongga Mountain is one of the most dramatic accessible landscapes in China. Most visitors never get here.
Landscape photographers
Glacier, snow peak, hot springs, Bronze Age museum — six days of genuinely different visual environments.
History & deep-culture seekers
Sanxingdui, the Long March bridge, Tibetan mountain culture and the Ya'an tea origin — this is China's complexity on one itinerary.
Repeat China visitors
You've done Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an. Wild Sichuan is the next chapter. It doesn't overlap with anything you've seen.
Make it yours
How we'd adapt this
Add Kangding — the Tibetan gateway city
A night in Kangding (3h from Luding) changes the cultural register entirely. It's the last Han Chinese city before the Tibetan plateau begins.
Extend to 8 days — add Jiuzhaigou
Wild Sichuan + the Jiuzhaigou valley makes a full Sichuan immersion. Different landscapes, different pace, complete coverage.
Mountain biking on the Sichuan–Tibet Highway
We can arrange one section of the famous Route 318 by road bike — a bucket-list day for cyclists that fits neatly into Day 4 or 5.
