Why West China Wander — The Pure-Play Promise in Writing

The six zeros

Every West China Wander contract commits to all six. Breach any of them and we owe each guest 3,000 yuan, on the spot, no arguments.

🛍️

0 shopping stops

No jade shops, no “tea ceremony”, no silk or herbal-medicine detours. The coach goes from scenery to hotel, and that's the itinerary.

💳

0 forced extras

If a cable car, shuttle or show appears in your itinerary's inclusions, it's paid by us. Nothing is “optional” in the sense that the group waits while others pay.

🎤

0 on-coach selling

Guides and driver-guides do not sell on the bus. Tips are never requested; a shared-group driver-guide explains, doesn't pitch.

🏛️

0 shops inside scenic areas

We schedule routes that avoid the “scenic-area shop” model entirely — the reason our days sometimes end earlier, and honestly.

🎭

0 staged culture

Tibetan family visits, tea houses and evening shows are the real ones we use ourselves, not a room rented for tour groups.

📝

0 hidden upgrades

Hotel tiers are published per itinerary (3-diamond through 5-diamond), and “premium” means the named hotels, not a mystery “same standard” swap.

Credentials

Who is actually behind this

🪪

Licensed operator

Chengdu Overseas Tourism Co., Ltd. (成都海外旅游有限责任公司), national inbound/outbound licence L-SC-CJ00011, based in Chengdu. Licence details are printed on your contract and invoice.

🛡️

Double insurance

Agency liability insurance plus travel accident insurance for every booked guest, included — we send the certificate numbers with your voucher pack.

🚌

Licensed fleet, one seat each

Registered tourist coaches only. By law every child occupies a seat; we guarantee one full seat per guest on every departure.

🧭

Guides that match the trip

Shared groups of 2–8 run with a driver-guide (no separate guide enters the parks with you); private journeys can add an English-speaking guide throughout.

Recognition

Awards on the wall

Real plaques, photographed as they hang in our Chengdu office. Click any to enlarge. The Gold Panda Award — Sichuan's highest tourism honour, conferred by the provincial government — and the No.1 ranking for inbound visitor-days are the two we are proudest of.

For international guests

The foreign-guest checklist

🛂

Passports, handled

Hotels check in against passports; park tickets are reserved in real name under the passport details you give us at booking. Bring the same passport you booked with — the gate checks it.

💬

English first

Enquiries, quotes, contracts and vouchers come in English; on shared Chinese-market departures we brief you in English the evening before each day.

📲

One number, all trip

A WhatsApp-reachable coordinator covers time-zone questions before departure and the whole route on the ground.

💳

Payment that works

International card and transfer options for the deposit; balance on arrival or before departure, with a proper invoice (fapiao) on request.
