Itinerary

Wenshu Yuan Monastery

4 hours

We start our activity around 09:00AM/13:00PM, our guide will meet you at the gate of Wenshu Yuan Monastery, and take you to have a short walk in the monastery to see the different buildings in the temple, though late afternoon, the locals still do their praying in the monastery, and the monks practice their afternoon class in one of the halls. Outside the temple it is busy and noisy, once you step into the temple, the world becomes peaceful, which makes you calm.

After our short visit to the monastery, we walk out to the street, the air is full of relaxed life style ,as there are so many popular local snack restaurants, your guide will let you try 2 or 3 different snacks while walking at the street, like the locals.

Again you will take the metro to Taiguli area, the center of Chengdu. This will be a good comparison with Wenshu Monastery, as buildings here are designed fashionable and artistic, you will pass by many deluxe stores, and your guide will take you to step into an elegant bar and help you order the wine if you like, let yourself relax completely, enjoy the night view of Chengdu here. Later our guide will say goodbye to you, let you enjoy your free evening/afternoon by yourself.
