Day trip in Dujiangyan Panda base
Joined 2023
If you are looking for a close encounter with pandas, it is certainly worth visiting the Dujiangyan Panda Base. This base is located in a tranquil valley for the purpose of “letting pandas be free as they used to be”. Therefore, the giant pandas here are more vigorous than those in zoos. As a volunteer, you can work as a keeper to make food for them . It is a good chance for you to observe their living habits and physical features.

“Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou ”
Jason was a friendly, accommodating guide. He planned activities he thought I'd be interested in and was flexible too if I decided I wanted to spend more or less time at an attraction at the time. He recommended exciting activities, as well as good hotels and planned everything so that the days ran smoothly. Jason is an experienced guide, with connections to people in all different places. There were some pleasant unplanned activities he organised on his own initiative that ended up being highlights of the trip, e.g. a traditional Sichuanese meal at a family restaurant in Songpan. I would have found it very difficult to navigate Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou on my own, with Jason I could relax and just enjoy!
