It was in 2020,our group of 12 seniors with average age in the mid seventies, some speak little Chinese from Vancouver, Canada was looking for a tour agent that will provide us with itinerary of the Silk Route, and also with guides that speaks both English and Chinese. We were fortunate to find Leo Li of China Discovery. knowing we are all seniors, Leo worked patiently with us through email communications on the itinerary, and provided us with all necessary information on Safety, and weather conditions in the tour area. Unfortunately, our tour plan paused due to Pandemic, Leo was kind enough to assist us obtaining the refund that was paid. In 2023, we reconnect with Leo for the purpose of tour The Silk Route in 2024, Leo helped work out the costs of all travel expenses, including first class train, air and transfer for all.

We were able to travel in October 2024. All guides assigned to the trip were very professional, speak well in English; all very friendly and kind taking care of seniors, spend extra hour over their call of duty; they also help the group checking in on train and air. Spacious bus for the local travel was clean and comfortable. All lunches and dinners that were included in the tour were more that excellent with touch of local flavour. Thanks to the guides that we learned a lot about the History and culture of the area, understanding how people lives. We are extremely happy that we found the right tour agent for the trip, will recommend Leo Li of China Discovery to any potential traveller.

    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...
