There are more than 40 giant pandas and 5 red pandas at the Dujiangyan Panda Base. During this special one-day panda volunteer program, you will have the opportunity to act as honorary panda keepers by cleaning up bamboo, sweeping up panda poop, washing the enclosures, observing and understanding the pandas’ status and living conditions, and preparing food for the pandas. You will get to experience the fun of making a “Panda’s Cake” and deliver fruit to the pandas yourself while learning about the pandas’ diets. Watch a free panda documentary that tells all about the science of a panda’s life and how humans are trying to protect them and how we can live in harmony with these wonderful creatures. You will also be able to plant bamboo shoots and trees, and create name tags as well as other more interesting and meaningful activities that help with caring for the pandas. After your day of helping the pandas, you will receive an official certificate from CCRCGP designating you as a Giant Panda Caretaker as well as other souvenirs such as a panda badge, a panda t-shirt and a panda club magazine.
After your exciting day up close and personal with the pandas, we will take you back to your hotel in Chengdu to relax for the night.

After the Wenshu Temple, we will experience the leisurely pace of the life of the locals at Renmin Park and Jinlin Street. Renmin (People’s) Park is where the locals go for a relaxing walk, to meet friends or have a cup of tea. Jinli Street, by contrast, is a street mainly for tourists but it does offer a view of the way things were in ancient times. You can wander along this traditional old street to absorb the special atmosphere of Chengdu while tasting the local snacks, watching street performers, etc.
After the tour, we will take you to the Chengdu airport or train station for your departing flight or train on to your next destination.
