This calls for a very long day but if you want to see the panda's and the LeShan Buddha in one day then this is a great tour. Our tour guide, Louis, spoke very well and was very passionate about China and the surrounding sites.

Worley was a great guide who took us to at least four major tourist attractions in Chengdu in four hours from pickup to our hotel at the W and back. She is very knowledgeable including history of religions, architecture, and is a big panda fan. The tour was not the typical bike ride we are used to where we stayed on bikes the majority of the time. We took the metro and walked around the places we visited on this tour and probably traveled on bike for about 10 km. It was a wonderful introduction of the city that allowed us to see Wenshu Monastery, Kuanzhai Alley, People’s Park, and Qingyang Palace. We were pressed on time otherwise Worley would’ve spent more time in the locations. Thank you, Worley, for the great tour!

We were 3 foreign passport travelers who live in Shanghai and spent 3 days with MyPanda Tour with Jun, our driver, visiting Emei, Qingcheng and the panda base. To arrange our itinerary, Alvin, was very helpful, responsive and assisted with all kinds of details since travel after COVID is a bit more complicated now in China. Alvin was flexible as our plans changed and also gave recommendations of other places to visit. During the 3 days, Jun, our driver, was prompt, friendly, well prepared, and took us to off beaten path places to eat and recommendations in the city. Upon arrival at each place, he gave us clear guidance and directions so we could navigate the sites on our own. I know Alvin also does guided tours but we opted for self navigating. I highly recommend Alvin and My Panda Tour for your visit to Chengdu area

Fi-Fi was amazing and so fun! My teenagers loved her! We would not have managed to fit everything into one day, or have figured out the transportation on our own. The arrangements were smooth and painless. Our guide and drivers were on time and very knowledgable. We were at the panda base early and managed to spend almost an hour alone with one panda who showed off for us. Fi-Fi managed to navigate us to the best spots at the park and we were out of here before it got too busy. The Leshan Buddha was awe inspiring, but I enjoyed the train trip seeing some chinese country side even more.

So this has been a dream come true for me, to see pandas in China, without them being in a zoo. I don't why it has taken so long? In January, I finally got to spend a whole day working with other volunteers, cleaning and feeding some pandas that were, ironically, given by the Austrian government. Actually most of the pandas were captive born, with just a few getting ready for the re-wilding project. There's a lot to do and learn about panda conservation. Travelling to the sanctuary by private car on a really polluted morning was a bit depressing. In contrast, the sanctuary was completely impressive and well supported by foreign donations. I loved the programme and it seemed to work well for the community too. In the morning, I cleaned and fed bamboo and cakes. Then I paid extra to sit next to a cub, which I can't share on social media as I signed a disclosure document. After a somewhat spicy lunch, I toured the other pandas at leisure and then watched a really good documentary about the earthquake and the research approaches to sustain wild pandas. It was really sad to see how badly the earthquake damaged the scientist's endeavours. Yes, my contribution was expensive. I paid $840 for a day, yes, a day! That's a lot of money. Well conservation is always going to be about money, and on this occasion, I used my savings to learn more about pandas and that was worthwhile. I booked with Viator.

8. When Chinese Leaves Fall

Trips@Asia

This unique autumn trip begins and ends in two of the best known nature reserves of China. The first is Jiuzhaigou, internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the world, and the latter is Zhangjiajie which was brought to the public attention as it served as the background for the Hollywood hit movie, Avatar. These two nature reserves consist of dense forests, and thus, when autumn arrives, they stand in beautiful autumn foliage. In between these two magnificent sites we travel just below the Tibetan Plateau, where communities of Tibetans managed to avoid the political turbulences often stirring the Tibetan plateau. These communities have therefore managed to better maintain their unique traditions and way of life. We will travel amidst beautiful villages, and get an in-depth insight to Tibetan culture.
