Absolutely fantastic day! - We had the most amazing time on our Panda trip to Dujingyan 😊 we saw several pandas up close. Our tour guide Jay was absolutely incredible, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the animals. He went above and beyond on our trip, and made the whole experience one of the best trips we’ve ever done. After the Pandas we went to a lovely ancient town, which included beautiful food and seeing the sites of the old town. Thank you Jay for such an amazing experience!

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

Great Guide - 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.

Great tour recommend it - 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

A Once in a lifetime Panda experience! - 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.

The experience was successful. - Although we received minimal assistance, it was difficult to communicate smoothly. On the way back, we were dismissed in the city center.
