Was a good day. Guide was very knowledgable and helpful. Although tour picks you up, it only does it from a few set hotels.

This was an excellent excursion. My guide Jay picked me up promptly at my hotel. He was very knowledgeable about Chengdu, pandas and tourism in China in general. When we got to the pandas, he was able to tell me about the individual pandas themselves and their personalities! Unfortunately, the rules for interacting with the pandas were restricted right after I booked this excursion, so the panda keeper part of this booking was not as described. There is nothing the tour operator could have done about this. For the Panda Keeper part, I was with a small group of 8 to 9 year old kids. I teach pre-K here in China, so this didn’t bother me. We watched a documentary on the panda preservation project, then the kids learned how to make a water pipeline using bamboo. I just took pictures. Then we learned to make panda cakes. The kids weighed out the ingredients, but I jumped in to mix everything up and make cakes. The kids started to overcome their shyness and started practicing their English with me. Some of them were very good! On the ride back to Chengdu, Jay gave me some advice on my further travels through China. I highly recommend this excursion and Jay as a guide especially.

This panda park was incredible. You can tell how much they love and care for the pandas from staff to visitors , we choice visit pandas at Dujingyan center, seen many of volunteers clean panda cage and prepare bamboo and other food , our guide Sean gave us an introduction and tell us all pandas background almost 30 pandas in this pandas Every step felt respectful and like we were just part of the pandas normal day and routine. Each pandas had a story about how they were rescued and why they were there. It was so touching to hear some of the stories. anyway, it is a amazing panda tour with even we don`t know which panda center is best to visit

Guide Finz was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. His English language skills were excellent. I would repeat with him next time I am in Chengdu.

This review of our October trip is a bit late but I would have to say one of my best experiences while visiting China. We were met at our hotel by Jay, who turned out to be a very informative and personable guide for the day. Not only did he share information about the center and the pandas, but we talked about life experiences in our countries, things of interest to both of us and how we as Americans are in love with the pandas. We enjoyed acting as panda keepers while the pandas watched us clean out their areas. Feeding them their snacks was such a treat as well as just watching them eat their bamboo and sit in their enclosures. We had a nice lunch and gained lots of information from a video about the research centers. Another highlight included seeing Red Pandas and some bears at the centers.

Booking this experience paid for admission into the park, an English speaking tour guide, and transportation from our hotel to the pandas and back. It also included lunch at the panda park and a visit to a nearby panda village. Our tour guides Jay and Cheryl were well knowledgeable and very friendly. I would highly recommend booking with them. They took care of getting us there in a timely manner, purchasing our tickets, and helping us every step of the way. Upon arrival, we were offered the opportunity to participate in the optional panda keeper experience for an additional 900CNY (~$125). After having done the experience, I would highly recommend it! Participating in the panda keeper experience allowed us behind the scenes, into the panda enclosures, and with direct contact of the pandas. We were able to help clean the outdoor panda gardens, the indoor panda cages, make panda protein cakes, feed the pandas two different times, prepare food for the pandas, watch a documentary about pandas and efforts to help increase their population, and explore every inch of the park itself. Meeting the different pandas was incredible! We learned about each of their individual stories, how they got to the panda park, and what their journey after might be like. Overall, I would encourage everyone to participate in the panda keeper experience. Not only does it benefit the pandas and the park, but you also get the experience of a lifetime!

We had an amazing trip to the Dujiangyan Wolong panda centre. Being a Panda keeper for the day is worth every penny. We saw over 40 Pandas, a good mix of baby pandas and adults. We made panda cakes, cleaned the enclosure and the best of all was feeding the beautiful panda bamboo shoots in his enclosure. So much fun. 5 stars.
