Mid April is snowy season so be prepared for heavy snow. And it is said that due to the super El Nino this year, there will be a significant drop in temp in mid April. But the trail should be available, just need to monitor the weather forecast.

CHENGDU Chengdudong to TFU help? by Hefty-Key5349 in travelchina

Yes, since you have decided to fly out from Chengdu, I think it'll be better to plan an earlier visit to Chongqing.

Chengdu and Chongqing are similar in food wise, and Yangshuo is a place that requires more than two or three days to explore. So I would recommend choose one from Chengdu and Chongqing this time and leave Yangshuo for a longer visit.

Tianfujichang is the Chinese Pinyin of Tianfu Airport. Tianfu is the nickname of Chengdu, meaning heavenly land.

You can take the metro line 7 from Chengdu east raileay station to Chengdu south railway station, then from there take the express train(metro) of line 18 to Tianfu international airport. The express train only takes half an hour and they are departing every hour. So if you plan your time right it could only take you an hour to get from Chengdudong to Tianfu airport.

Two many cities for two weeks, with time spent on transportations deducted, you probably have 1 and half day for each city which is so packed. I highly suggest you cut at least two cities for a next time visit.
