Awesome panda heaven
Wonderful experience seeing the very peaceful pandas eating away. They are one of the world's most lovable creatures. A few were playing, others resting, while the majority were eating.

Superb experience
Wow! Everything we dreamed of, and more form our day as a Volunteer. Left Chengdu city at 0700, and arrived promptly at 0830 for a 0900 start and registration. After donning out overalls myself and my wife were assigned an enclosure to clean, which involved cleaning up the poop, sweeping up and hosing down. Then we were brought bamboo trees which we broke up and placed in the enclosure. We then had an hour to wander around and look at the 25 or so Pandas here. After this we were able to hand feed a Panda carrots and Panda cake - amazing - you will never get this close to a Panda. They are so gentle! Then it was lunchtime - provided by the Base to all volunteers, basic hot Chinese fayre which was tasty. Plenty of time to look around the Store before the afternoon session, which firstly involved breaking up more bamboo for the hungry pandas, then another chance to hand feed a Panda! Finally, we made some Panda cake which were going to be baked for the next day, and there was a brief explanation of the ingredient etc. We finished at around 3.30 to 4pm. for £80 GBP I would highly recommend this experience. Tip - remember you nave to get a health form filled in prior to arrival. We did this via our local GP in the UK - which they do charge for. I was charged £25, another of our party was charged £100. Some parts of the form can be left blank, don't worry about it being fully completed. We sent our forms and passports pages off to our guide who sent them onto Dujianyan before we arrived. Take your passport on the day too. We didn't do the cuddle a panda experience - not worth it and you get a better experience feeding them at a fraction of the cost! Final tip - wear waterproof shoes/boots if volunteering as feet get soaked when cleaning the enclosures.
