I am new to this Google Connect.
I love travelling and hope to learn more from our beautiful and kind people here.
I am heading to Chengdu for five days. Please give me suggestion of where to go.
Chengdu city and Siguniangshan is my two destinations. Is it doable in five days?

Hello @green-tram ,
Welcome to Connect!
I really hope some of the Local Guides have experience and give good advice on doing this trip.
My personal experience, as I have lived three years in China, is check out all the transport you need to take - fast/slow trains, the time that you will need to reach some specific places. If you have 5 days and you are arriving on day 1 at Chengdu and you are leaving on day 5 from Chengdu back home with an airplane. This would mean that you have 3 days left. Day 2 is to reach out the Mount Siguniang National Park, find a place to sleep somewhere near the mountain. Day 3 climb the mountain and enjoy your time there. Day 4 be sure to head back to Chengdu.
P.S.: I have also heard that there is a very big national park in Sichuan province where wild pandas live, maybe if it is on the way, you can visit it too.
I am not sure if permit is required to enter that part of tibet.
Hi @green-tram ,
To my knowledge foreigners are always required when entering Tibet to have permit.
What’s more foreigners for sure cannot enter on their own (alone) Tibet Autonomous Region, they must be accompanied by a tourist guide and go there with a group. Also keep in mind there are some restrictions which include foreigners of some countries are not allowed to enter that region.
I guess you must double-check the above information and see all the requirements.
Hope you can make it out there and share with all the Local Guides your amazing experience there!
