When night falls, a unique vibe starts to fill the streets of Chengdu. In the heart of the city, a feast of heritage and art is quietly unfolding—it's the night of Sichuan Opera's face-changing, waiting for every traveler to explore.
Step into an old-fashioned teahouse, and a rich aroma of tea hits you. Sitting by a carved wooden table, holding a steaming bowl of tea, with the soothing sounds of Sichuan folk music in your ears, you can't help but feel excited about the upcoming face-changing performance.
With the sound of a gong, the stage lights focus, and the Sichuan Opera face-changing officially begins. The actors, dressed in gorgeous costumes and wearing exquisite masks, skillfully portray each character with exaggerated expressions. The most stunning part is the face-changing technique, where actors quickly switch masks in a short time, each new face representing different emotions and stories, leaving the audience in awe.
During the performance breaks, why not step on stage and try your hand at face-changing? Under the guidance of professional actors, you can wear a mask and feel that sense of mystery and surprise. Although it might feel a bit awkward at first, this hands-on experience will deepen your understanding of the artistic charm of Sichuan Opera's face-changing.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
