Rachel Grant’s Panda Volunteer Experience in Dujiangyan
The distinctive black and white animal is a national treasure in China and one of the rarest, most endangered bears in the world. A one-on-one encounter with a giant panda is a bucket list highlight and a must-do when you are in China. The time I spent witnessing such human dedication is truly eye-opening...

Hi Shirley,
Firstly, I would like to thank you because the planning and preparation from your side was wonderful.
The only small mix up was when we arrive in Shanghai, our guide was not aware of our changed air ticket and he waited for us at the wrong gate. But luckily it was in the same airport so he could come over quickly.
Everything else was smooth and great. Thank you.
For Zhangjiajie, we really enjoyed ourselves most over there. Especially we want to mention our Guide, Tim. He was the best guide we ever had from all our previous trips. He was very kind and patient with my elderly dad too. Very good service and always things even more comfortable by doing little things such as preparing tissues for our meals etc. Throughout our time in ZJJ, we felt like he was a family member. For the itinerary and journey, everything was well thought out too. *always make things even more comfortable.
Hotels in ZJJ are generally very good too.
But Tim really made a big difference in makingke the whole trip even better and enjoyable. He deserves all the praise.
For Shanghai, our Guide Mark was very knowledgeable with a lot of facts and history.
However, just want to point out that our hotel room has strong cigarette smell. But other than that everything else is fine.
Lastly, both drivers in ZJJ and SH drives smoothly and safely too.
No problem at all. We are very satisfied with your company's general service. Will definitely recommend to our friends. Thanks again Shirley, and wishing you all the best too.
All the best to you Shirley, have a wonderful day We hope to use your service again in the future.

Hi Leo,
I am back in HKG yesterday after 1 night/day in Macau.
I am flying back to Bali tomorrow.
The Tour of SHANGHAI SUZHOU and HANGZHOU you arranged for me WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!
Everything was so PERFECT!
I particularly like the visits of 2 famous historical GARDENS OF SHANGHAI and SUZHOU. And TONGLI Watertown.
My tour guide SEVEN PING PING was BEST! very knowledgeable, friendly and just very lovely personality!
The hotel in Shanghai was very luxurious and comfortable.
However … I LOVE THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL CHINESE STYLE in HANGZHOU much better. Beautiful, classy, good Chinese architecture and peaceful.
The car and driver in Hangzhou were so special … a great style I appreciate!
OVERALL… it was a GREAT EXPERIENCE for me and I hope to return to China with my husband … next trip!
A million thanks for your very professional arrangement.
Best regards,
Monique

Hi Karen,
We wanted to write to thank China Discovery, especially Catherine for our amazing family holiday.
Catherine managed to accommodate all our requests and ensure we had an itinerary that kept a 15 year and a 17 year (plus their parents), interested and having fun each day.
All our travel arrangements were perfectly arranged, the accommodation meeting all the descriptions, and the drivers and guides were all well organised and very friendly - we simply had an amazing time.
Catherine was very helpful, friendly and quick to respond to queries throughout the process and was also able to answer queries and give guidance on what we needed to consider. Her helpful manner, clear communications and prompt responses are a credit to China Discovery, and we will be recommending your organisation to any friends and colleagues who want to travel to China.
We had the pleasure of meeting Catherine for a cup of tea and a bite to eat when in Chengdu. We were so pleased to be able to thank her personally, and were delighted she was able to spend some time with us after Catherine had spent so much time and effort in delivering our perfect family holiday.
Catherine is a great ambassador for China Discovery.
Many thanks once again,

Our itinerary was to fly from Hong Kong to Chengdu where we would be met at the airport by our guide (Tom) and driver (Mr. Den). From there we were taken to our hotel. As soon as we got into our transport Tom presented my wife with a huge bouquet of flowers and basket of fruit which I thought was a lovely touch and completely unexpected.
The next morning we set off bright and early to begin time with the giant pandas....We had been told that it would be a "Once in a lifetime experience" and it certainly lived up to it's billing. Normally you would be straining to get a view of these wonderful animals but here we were within touching distance. The work itself was quite physical (lots of sweeping and cleaning is involved when mucking out pandas) The staff at the sanctuary don't speak much English but, Tom, who was excellent throughout, was always on hand to assist with translations. Our supervisors seemed impressed that we were both happy to get our hands dirty for the privilege of being so close to the animals. Our duties in the sanctuary included cleaning the pandas enclosures and sleeping accommodation and also helping to feed them. We were also advised that we might be asked to help with other tasks that might crop up during our time there...In our case I was asked to assist with some heavy lifting to assist in transporting one panda from Bifeng to another sanctuary.
At the Bifeng Sanctuary visitors can have photos taken with young pandas which costs £100. They can also interact (play) with young pandas which costs £200 for a few minutes....We were told that the reason why this is so expensive is because although they want the money (it all goes towards the costs of running the sanctuary)....They don't want to encourage too much interaction between humans and the young pandas which one day they might be able to release into the wild....I can understand this and we decided not pay the extra....We were more than delighted with the level of contact we had already experienced.
Our adventure lasted four days...Two days travelling to and from Hong Kong and two days at the sanctuary....We both rated it as a fantastic adventure with good food and accommodation. As regards the organisation...I can't really fault it....Everything was as described and the trip ran like clockwork....On the basis of this trip I would have no hesitation in recommending China Discovery Tours to anyone travelling in that area and if we ever return, I would certainly use them again.
Happy Journey in Beijing
