Exploring the rich history of Chengdu in China was a highlight of our trip, especially the visit to the Wuhou Shrine, where we marveled at the intricate architecture and learned about the Three Kingdoms period. The day was well-organized, and our guide shared fascinating stories about the numerous museums and temples we visited, although we wished there had been a bit more time at each stop to soak it all in. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that truly showcased the cultural depth of this vibrant city.

We had a fantastic time wandering through Chengdu’s temples and museums, where each site revealed fascinating stories from the past. The transportation was smooth, but we felt a bit rushed at a couple of locations, which made it hard to fully absorb the cultural highlights.
