Before dawn the highway slips out of Chengdu and the air thins as the mountains loom: first bamboo groves, then granite ridges. On this private two-day loop you spend a calm morning among the Wolong research enclosures, watching adults and cubs move through bamboo like slow choreography, then continue into the high valleys of Mt. Siguniang where peaks test the sky and streams dare you to follow their course.
