You might see them drinking milk or eating bamboo, rolling around on the grass, or occasionally fighting.  Depending on the weather, they could be climbing trees or snoozing under them.

Great Tour by Susan! Seamless entry to the Panda Research base, wonderful hot pot meal, very helpful pointing out details of the wide and narrow alleys and helping locate specific souvenirs and gifts, awesome seats to the opera. Made for a wonderful way to see all of Chengdu in a day!

It is not possible to find a better tour operator in Chengdu than Lily or a better tour guide than Kan. My husband and I were thrilled with our 2 days with Kan + driver. I am disabled and need a wheelchair. Lily worked with me extensively by email to plan outings that suited our interests and that were within my capability. The vehicle provided accommodated my wheelchair and our tour guide, Kan, and our driver were extremely accommodating of my physical limitations. On the first day, we did a tour of Du Fu Cottage and Kuanzhai Alley. On the second day, we visited the Panda Breeding Base in the morning and then drove out to Leshan Giant Buddha in the afternoon. Both days were splendid and exceeded my very high expectations. Kan is very knowledgeable, informative and organized. She took very good care of us and when we said goodbye at the end of the second day it felt like parting with a close friend. My only regret is that I neglected to inform Lily of my highly restricted medical diet. This proved to be quite a challenge for Kan for lunch in Kuanzhai Alley, but she worked with me and worked with Lily by phone to figure out a place where I could get something that I could eat. In the end, Lily agreed for us to eat at a more expensive restaurant for no extra charge; I let them know that I was willing to pay extra. Our 2 days with Kan were quite perfect and an experience we will always remember fondly. Thank you, Lily & Kan!

We were picked up promptly by our guide, Penny. Penny had a great sense of humour and made the whole day so worthwhile. The pandas were adorable, the lunch was a true feast, the garden and monastery were fantastic and the walk through the marketplace was amazing. This was definitely something I would recommend anyone do. I had two children (young teenagers) and we were all entertained and involved for the whole day. Penny took her time with us. We did not feel rushed anywhere and had all the information and help bartering we could possibly have needed.

Abby was a wonderful tour guide! She took us where we wanted to go, and allowed us to go at our own pace and spend more time where we wanted to go. She was very patient if we wanted to go look at other places real quick, that weren't scheduled for the tour. We had a wonderful time in Chengdu and would def book again.

Visiting the Panda breeding center was a wonderful experience, which we thought would be the highlight of our China trip until we visited the Park in Chengdu, with the square dancers, the quiet Tea House...and even the ear cleaners! Song, our guide, was cheerfully enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her city, and made sure we had the perfect visit. She read and responded to our interests without being intrusive. She was the perfect host for first time visitors to China.
