The city is famous for its futuristic urban landscape and complex, multi-layered topography.

Other important information

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Spring (March - May)
Chongqing
Spring is generally mild and pleasant in Chongqing. The weather warms up quickly, with temperatures typically ranging from about 15°C to 25°C. This season still sees occasional thick fog in the mornings, especially in March, a remnant of the winter humidity. Light showers are common, but overall it's a comfortable transition period before the intense summer heat arrives.

Chengdu
Spring in Chengdu is characterised as pleasant and warming. It's often considered a very comfortable time to be in the city. Temperatures follow a similar range to Chongqing, usually between 15°C and 25°C. Chengdu experiences less fog than Chongqing and is generally a little drier, making it a popular time for local travel and outdoor activities.

Summer (June - August)
Chongqing
Summer in Chongqing is extremely hot and humid, earning it the moniker of one of China's "Three Furnace Cities." Temperatures frequently exceed 35°C and can sometimes climb over 40°C in the afternoon. This is the peak rainy season, featuring frequent, heavy thunderstorms that, while intense, do little to break the stifling humidity. The heat often makes midday outdoor activities challenging.

Chengdu
Chengdu's summer is also hot, humid, and rainy, but generally less extreme than in Chongqing. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 33°C. Like its neighbour, Chengdu receives the bulk of its annual rainfall during this period, with July and August being the wettest months, characterised by high humidity and heavy precipitation.

Autumn (September - November)
Chongqing
Autumn is often considered the best time to visit Chongqing. The weather turns cool and comfortable, providing a welcome relief from the summer heat. Early autumn sees temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C, gradually cooling by November. The humidity drops, and the city enjoys clearer skies and less rainfall compared to the summer months.

Chengdu
Autumn in Chengdu is similarly a cool and crisp season. It is another ideal time for tourism due to the comfortable, moderate weather. Temperatures generally range from 14°C to 22°C. While rain is common, it tends to be lighter and less frequent than during the summer, offering many pleasant, mild days.

Winter (December - February)
Chongqing
Winter in Chongqing is mild, damp, and famously foggy. Compared to northern China, it's short, with temperatures typically ranging from 6°C to 12°C. However, the high humidity makes the cold feel much more penetrating. The season is dominated by frequent and heavy fog, giving the city its nickname "Fog City." Snow is extremely rare.

Chengdu
Chengdu's winter is cold, damp, and predominantly overcast. Temperatures are low, ranging from about 5°C to 10°C. The persistent cloud cover and high humidity contribute to a perpetual feeling of chill. Fog can also occur, and the city receives very little sunshine during this season. As with Chongqing, significant snowfall is highly uncommon.

Weather
We always suggest referring to an online source for the most up-to-date weather information for your destination/s.

A moderate level of fitness will be required.
Expect a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with guided walks of up to 2 hours at a time.

You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance.

Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.

Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping:
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts.
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
