Itinerary
Chengdu: Sixi Gorge & Suji Town Food Private Day Trip
Discover a peaceful, authentic corner of Sichuan on this private day trip from Chengdu, combining the gentle natural beauty of Sixi Gorge with the food and heritage of Suji Ancient Town. The day is designed as a leisurely outing rather than a strenuous hike, so you can enjoy the scenery and local culture at an easy pace.
Your English-speaking guide and private driver pick you up at your Chengdu hotel and drive you out to Sixi Gorge, a quiet canyon of lush vegetation, dramatic rock peaks and a small grotto. You take an easy stroll along the valley path, passing the local Wealth God shrine and winding between green cliffs, with your guide setting a comfortable pace and pointing out the highlights. There is no demanding climbing; you walk only as far as feels relaxing and stop often to enjoy the views and fresh air.
Next you head to Suji Ancient Town, a charming riverside settlement with over 1,400 years of history and a well-earned reputation as a food lover's paradise. You wander across the old Rugong Bridge, watch the Emei River drift by and can settle into a traditional teahouse for a bowl of covered-cup tea, soaking up the slow rhythm of small-town Sichuan life. This is the place to sample authentic local specialities such as qiaojiao beef, cool rice jelly and brown-sugar shortcakes.
A relaxed lunch is included, and your guide helps you discover the best of the town's flavours and stories. This tour is perfect for travellers who want genuine local culture, gentle nature and great food in one easygoing day. In the late afternoon you return to your private vehicle for the comfortable drive back to your Chengdu hotel.

Traveler Reviews
For us, this was less about eating a huge meal than paying attention to several small ones. That rhythm worked for 13 hours. The time around Sixi Gorge & Suji Town Food Day was not the part I would cut.
Practically speaking, dietary questions in Chengdu were handled before we started, not halfway through the first tasting. That made the session much easier to enjoy. I would rather keep the pause at Sixi Gorge & Suji Town Food Day than add another stop.
The useful part in Chengdu was not just trying food, but knowing what to order again later. I saved two dish names in my phone before the tour ended. I would still leave extra time for Sixi Gorge & Suji Town Food Day.
Honestly, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Chengdu, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly. For 13 hours around Chengdu, the pace felt about right.
