Problem 2 - RJ for Hospitality and Tourism Management

Question: Which tourism destination would you like to visit? When & How Long?


I would like to visit Chendu as my tourist destination and that if I could choose to stay for over 1 month as Chendu is really a fun place to be.

Since I would need to think about my budget, I will have to then have to decide to stay for 2 weeks at most at the Chendu.

My total budget for the trip includes air fare will be S$3000.

My airfare tickets will cost me S$680 and it is to and fro trip from Singapore to Chendu.

I will be staying at Jing Jiang Inn Chendu Dongfeng Bridge which will cost me S$33.5 per day, I will be staying there for at least 13 nights therefore the total cost spend on accommodation will be S$435.50.

I am intending to go on the last 2 weeks of December as the weather will be cold and it is winter time. My intention of going there is to enjoy the cold without the snow and to recall the good times that I had with my church mates at Chendu for our mission trip in 2010.

I would have at least S$1884.50 which is Reminbi ¥9422.50 to spend on food, transportation and shopping.

This will be my planner for my trip.

First of all, my flight to Chendu will be a night trip there so I will only reach there in the next morning.

Day 1: 2100 hrs flight to Chendu.

Day 2: 0900hrs reach Chendu. First stop will be going to City church which is near my accommodation venue for a visit to my church mates. Then lunch will be at the nearby egg noodle store. 1400hrs check in to Jing Jiang Inn Chendu Dongfeng Bridge. At 1700 hrs head over to the nearby shopping mall which can be reach by taking the bus transport. At 1830hrs, dinner at a buffet outlet. 2100hrs back at hotel for a night rest.

Day 3: 1000hrs travelled to Shen Ai Zhi Jia, it is a mission field for city church to take care of homeless children and to give these children a place of hope and safety. My intention to go there will be more of a babysitting as my previous did not give me a chance to play with the kids. 1700 hrs, I will head over to the shopping mall again, and at 1900 hrs, dinner at a buffet outlet, by 2100 hrs back at hotel for a night rest.

Day 4: 1000 hrs travel to Wolong National Nature Reserve to see PANDAs… I have never seen panda in my previous trip so it is a Must for me to visit the homeland of the pandas. 1700 hrs I will head over to the shopping mall or nearby area for dinner before heading back to the hotel for a night rest.

Day 5: 0900hrs travelled to JiuZhaigou, which is almost a day’s ride to the place, I will reach there by night time so I will be staying at JiuZhaigou for at least 2 nights before heading back to my hotel back at Chendu. By the time I travelled back to Chendu, it will be Day 7. I would say jiuzhaigou is a must for me to go as when I was at Chendu last year, taking their public transport a lot of their own people says that when we are at Chendu, it is best to go Jiuzhaigou for a visit to take breathtaking photos and enchanting histories of it.

Day 7: Reach Chendu by 1400 hrs. Then head over to the shopping malls to do a little shopping spree and then dinner and then back at hotel by 2130hrs.

Day 8: 0900 hrs travelled to Huang Long Xi ancient town, to learn more about our Chinese culture and the ancients building. 1800hrs back at Chendu, shopping malls. Do a little shopping spree before heading for dinner and back at hotel 2130hrs. I love history therefore since there is time and not constrain, I would like to head over to the ancient town to visit and understand more about our culture.

Day 9: 0910 hrs travelled to Huang Long Scenic and Historic Interest area, by 1400hrs to travel back to Chendu. Do shopping spree till 1930hrs and head for dinner back at hotel by 2130hrs. Like what I have mentioned, I am a fan of history so historic places is a must to visit but not temple. For some reason I do not like historic temples.

Day 10: Travel to Yong Mausoleum (Yong Ling) at 0900 hrs. Then travel to Zi gong salt museum at 1200 hrs.  Then head over to shopping mall to do shopping at 1830 hrs, then dinner and back at hotel by 2130hrs. I love history therefore since there is time and not constrain, I would like to head over to the mausoleum and understand it then travel to the salt museum to visit and understand how salt is being made.

Day 11: Head over to my friend’s university for a visit and learn more about his country’s learning environment which will take from morning 1000hrs to 1930 hrs. Dinner together and back at hotel by 2130 hrs.

Day 12: Time to do serious shopping, from 1100 hrs to 2000 hrs, dinner and go ATT (in Singapore term KTV) before heading back to the hotel at 2am in the morning. :D ATT was the last activity which my church mates and I did together so it is a must to revisit the venue.

Day 13: Exact same thing as Day 12.

Day 14: spend the whole morning packing luggage and head over to the airport. Bye bye Chendu.
Therefore if you ask me if S$3000 is enough? I will tell you it is more than enough since it is cheap. :D
