## Full guide

Did you know China just rolled out a 10-day visa-free entry? Here is the ultimate 7-day itinerary through Chengdu and Chongqing.
Chengdu (Days 1–3): Live your best life cuddling pandas, sipping tea in secret courtyards, and surviving the spiciest hotpot known to man.
Chongqing (Days 4–7): Hop on a bullet train (smoother than any flight, trust me) and arrive in the "8D Magic City" in just 2 hours.
But here's the real talk: international cards often don't work for street food. Booking trains can be a headache. Don't let tech issues ruin your vibe.
We handle the logistics so you don't have to. At China Travel Helpdesk, we turn chaos into a clear checklist.
