Add Leshan as a dedicated day if the transfers suit your group.
5–7 days
Consider Mount Emei and extra rest time as part of a wider Sichuan route.
A few practical thoughts.
Getting around
Panda sites, Leshan and Mount Emei are distinct trips. Confirm which panda site is included and the road or rail plan for each excursion.
When to go
Warm, humid days call for a slower pace. Mountain weather can differ from the city; retain an indoor or low-level alternative.
Your pace
Discuss stairs at Leshan and Mount Emei, children’s routines, and food preferences. A panda sighting schedule is not a guarantee of animal activity.
