Come join us for a special one day volunteer experience at the Dujiangyan Panda Base, located just outside the city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province. As one of China’s premier conservation centers dedicated to giant panda research and breeding, the Dujiangyan base provides a unique opportunity for visitors to observe pandas up close and assist caretakers with various tasks such as helping prepare fresh bamboo for the pandas’ meals. This is a rewarding way to contribute hands-on to panda conservation efforts while gaining fascinating insights into the daily lives of these beloved bears.
