Depart from Chengdu for the legendary "Panda Village"– the Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center. Here, surrounded by towering mountains and shrouded in mist, lies the core area of the Giant Panda National Park, an environment where giant pandas thrive. The center's work focuses on facilitating the return of captive giant pandas to the wild and conducting international scientific research cooperation.
Our activities will be centered at the Panda Conservation Center. We will listen to fascinating stories about giant pandas, learn about rescue and reintroduction efforts, and gain insights into China's sustainable development projects for giant pandas.Our in-depth giant panda habitat journey goes beyond merely observing various panda types. You will have a "close encounter"with giant pandas – experience the daily work of a panda keeper. This volunteer experience takes you into non-public areas of the panda center, where you will prepare their staple food, bamboo, learn to prepare panda food, clean enclosures, study feeding knowledge, conduct behavioral observation analysis, and with luck, even touch panda feces. You will also receive an officially certified volunteer service certificate.
