Great visit to the panda base with Cade! He helped us navigate efficiently the massive panda breeding center, so we were able to see loads of pandas, both giant and reds. He was very attentive and even gave us tips for places to eat and visit in Chengdu. Definitely worth!!
Thank you for your kind reply. Your satisfaction is always my goal, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
