Cool volunteering experience with pandas

Published on Oct, 2024

Everybody from WestChinaGo Travel Service was amazing! I contacted them via WhatsApp with some questions, and they ensured I had all the information before booking. On the day of the activity, my guide was incredibly accommodating, kind, and attentive. I felt very well taken care of. Before booking, please note that you won't be allowed to touch or feed the pandas. I find this rule to be very reasonable and fair as I wouldn't want to stress the animals.  The only thing that I didn't really like is that the experience involved a bit less actual work than I expected (and wanted) based on some reviews I had read. This isn't a reflection on WestChinaGo as the activities are organized by the research base. Overall, I'm incredibly glad I did this and would do it again! A huge thank you to the girls from WestChinaGo!

Amazing tour

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour has been wonderful from start to end. Lily has been very helpful and friendly all the way through the whole assisting process and sent us a fabulous guide, Fifi. Fifi has been very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Her English was very good. She gave us a lot of insights on pandas and managed to take many pictures of us throughout our volunteering session at the panda base.

Amazing panda experience for the family

Published on Aug, 2024

We went as a family.of 5 which included out autistic teenage son. The staff were incredibly supportive and kind and you get to.learn.about panda life, diet and behaviours. We had to break bamboo, clean the areas and make panda food for the elderly panda. We were not allowed to touch any pandas . The highlight was panda feeding and it was amazing to be so close to them ( no photos allowed though). Our guide Bai was fantastic throughout. Be prepared to work a bit and lunch with the staff was provided. The alternative is to just get the park entrance tickets in..and you can see many pandas in their enclosures.

Dujiangyan and Chengdu panda bases + Leshan big buddha

Published on Apr, 2024

We booked Dujiangyan panda base 1 day volunteer program and Chengdu panda base+Leshan Buddha with Westgochina in Mar 2024. We are very happy to see pandas Lele and Hua Hua. Our tour guide is FiFi. She’s very knowledgeable and friendly. She told us a lot of Chinese culture and history. We had a lot of fun during the trips. Lily is also very professional and helpful with our enquires. We will recommend Westgochina for your China trips. Pamela from Singapore
