Dujingyan Panda Tour Option Riesenpanda oder Red Panda Keeper

We first went to a panda base a fair distance from the city, which was lovely - lush, beautiful surroundings and lots of opportunities to watch pandas. We went early which meant the animals were active (not too hot yet) and there weren’t very many other people. We continued to another place for the red panda keeper experience, which was amazing. It’s 900 cny on top of the booking price, so not cheap but completely worth it. There were more red pandas than people, and you get to watch them up really close and feed them. You can’t touch them, but they can touch you - I’m delighted to say my lap got climbed over. There are also raccoons, which you can pet while feeding. Jay spoke by far the best English out of everyone I’ve met while travelling in China for the last month and arranged everything very smoothly, in addition to having a very comfortable car. I met some other guests at the red panda base who missed out on the feeding because they hadn’t known to book it, so I was very glad that Jay had made sure the experience included all the highlights. Would 100% book with him again.

Great experience, guide was awesome and took us to a great local restaurant after! Must do!!!

Our visit to the Chengdu Panda Base was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, Jay! He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the pandas and their conservation. Jay knew exactly how to plan our route to avoid the crowds, so we could enjoy the pandas up close without feeling rushed. He even went above and beyond by taking us to see the “selfie panda”, which wasn’t included in the regular tour , such a thoughtful surprise! We also got some of the best photos of our trip thanks to him. If you’re visiting Chengdu, we highly recommend booking a tour with Jay. His passion, organization, and kindness truly made this experience one of the highlights of our entire trip. 🐼💚

Jay and his amazing co-guide, Doria, went above and beyond to make this one of the most seamless and enriching tours we’ve ever been on. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, they met us at the hotel right on time, the drive to the Panda Base was smooth and comfortable, and they handled all the entrance fees and logistics so we could just relax and fully enjoy the day. Doria was by our side throughout, translating when needed, sharing fascinating facts and hilarious panda stories that made us appreciate these incredible animals even more. She’s warm, witty, and incredibly knowledgeable, the perfect guide! I chose to do the volunteer experience, and I can’t recommend it enough! Getting up close, preparing food, and learning about the pandas’ routines was an absolute dream come true. This is hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in China, worth every single penny and then some! Thank you, Jay and Doria, for creating memories that will stay with us for a lifetime (and maybe even longer 🐼💚).

A truly authentic and unforgettable experience! 🌿🐼 The tour of the pandas in Dujiangyan and Wolong gave us magical moments: getting close to these wonderful animals, watching them enjoy bamboo, play, climb or sleep peacefully... a dream come true for any nature lover. The surrounding mountainous area is also very beautiful and makes the experience even more impressive. Special thanks to our guide Jay, who accompanied us throughout the day with great availability and passion. In addition to taking us to the best spots to see the pandas, he told us stories and curiosities about China and neighboring Tibet, enriching the tour with a cultural touch that we loved. At lunch he took us to a typical restaurant, where we enjoyed authentic and really delicious dishes, perfect to complete an already extraordinary experience. If you are looking for an exciting adventure full of natural charm near Chengdu, this tour is perfect. Highly recommended 100%!

We enjoyed our day with our friendly guide Penny. The children loved their time with the pandas. We couldn't opt for the volunteers option as the kids were too young but we could go at our own pace. A guided tour is of course not necessary but hassle-free for us. We just have to follow Penny. We found it very usefull to also have the driver with us as the Dujiangyan panda center is a little bit remote and we might have had a hard time finding a Didi/car for the 6 of us tonreturn to Chengdu.

This trip was amazing! An oppourtunity to see both the giant panda and red pandas in such close proximatly, were we didnt have queues about was brilliant. Both the guide and driver were lovely people, kind and helpful.

Jay the tour guide is very friendly, knowledgeable and keen to share stories of the pandas. Tour allowed enough time to see the pandas. Wonderful experience!

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!

Thanks Jay!!! The pandas were adorable and we stopped to visit one of the ancient towns nearby afterwards. Good driver and lunch was also very good!!
