#discoverchina Visiting Wolong Panda Base was a delightful and unforgettable experience. Nestled in the beautiful mountains of Sichuan, this sanctuary is dedicated to conserving and protecting giant pandas. Watching the pandas roam and play in their naturalistic habitats was heartwarming and fascinating. The knowledgeable staff and interactive exhibits offered insights into panda breeding and preservation efforts. The lush scenery and serene atmosphere made the visit even more magical. Wolong Panda Base is a must-visit for wildlife and nature enthusiasts.

Travel in the mountains of Sichuan province. China is so wonderful in every season. While you visit the city of Chengdu — be sure to make a visit to the countryside. On my trip in the wilds of Sichuan province I had the experience of visiting a mountain town. The town is quiet and full of more farm animals than people. Hikers and nature enthusiasts will enjoy the rural lifestyle because the mountains are so comforting. Sichuan people love to see the blue sky! Ask them why they love to see the blue sky so much. 🤭❤️ Do you know which animal is famous in Sichuan and Chengdu city? It’s black and white and eats bamboo! 🐼🇨🇳 Join in on a Panda volunteer day-experience at the Wolong Panda Base. Book your overnight stay at the Tipsy Panda Mountain Spring Villa. The villa is clean and comfortable. There is a buffet breakfast hot ‘n ready. In the winter it’s best to drink hot soup. #panda #travelasia #asiatrip #china

I got up close to Pandas! 🏔️ 🐼[Chengdu Overnight-Trip]🐼💕 Visit this mountain village reserve for giant pandas in China. You will see pandas in the natural territory all within a protected wildlife reserve. At Wolong mountain base the science team is responsible for the care and rehabilitation of the local giant pandas. #discoverchina #sichuan #panda ❤️🐼 ❤️ It’s been a dream to be near pandas. Then, at the opportunity to help care for them I bounded for the registration! At this Panda Rehab base I experienced making cakes for the animal residents, cleaned the outdoor pens, and watched professionals feed young pandas. One full day in the mountains was so fun! Although, it’s definitely not enough time for an animal lover. It would be great to have 2-3 days more to get to know the lifestyle of a giant panda. ✨🐼 Who will go back next season with me 🥲 While in the mountain region I stayed at the Tipsy Panda Mountain Spring Villa. The service was friendly and convenient. I traveled in the winter so it’s best to pack warm clothes. The room I stayed in was comfortable and well decorated. The serenity of the countryside surprised me with an early dawn awakening. The farmer’s roosters all called out in the silence of the morning. This was awkwardly pleasant nonetheless. Volunteer shifts at the rehab base start early in the morning. 🌲 🌲 🌲 The Sichuan countryside is still wild. This excites me. Mountain trails are pebbles and stones. The beasts in the woods roam freely and stare at the bipedal hikers. While we walked up the slope we saw boars, century old trees and the lichen creeping along the branches of rotten wood. The winter in Sichuan boasts ice laced streams and frozen icicle stalactites under rock cliffs. To conclude, I highly recommend a tour through Sichuan Province. For my followers who enjoy hiking, animal care and sustainable action — Sichuan is a leading province of China for these attributes of culture. Have value and be valued. 🌷 #chinatravel #chinatrip #instatravel #travelguide #panda #mountain #mountainview #animals #hiking #village #trip #supportlocal #sichuan #china #foodiehk #foodie
