What a great experience, this was truly one of the biggest highlights of all of our time in China!

First, China Discovery is a great company, I asked them a lot of questions via email in the months before the trip, they always replied quickly and were very informative. Paying them from the USA was easy. During the excursion itself, everything went great, they picked us up early, the guide spoke excellent English and he was attentive to our needs. He also took a ton of pictures and videos for us!

The program that the Panda Center puts on is also good, though some animal rights groups monitor them closely so the up-close interactions are pretty limited. This is all controlled by the Panda Center itself, not the tour company. Lunch was with the employees of the center in their lunch room, very tasty.

It is a bit stressful planning an activity in another country and sending money months beforehand, but all of my interactions with China Discovery helped put me at ease. They have tons of great ratings online and they are so helpful. On our excursion I met 2 other people (one from Singapore, one from Europe) who had used China Discovery multiple times before and they had nothing but good things to say.

Whether it is the panda trip or any other things in China, I can happily recommend China Discovery, they will take very good care of you!

    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...
