By My Panda Tours
To reveal the hidden part of the Hetaoping Wolong Panda Base. These are the highlights:
a.Red Panda Volunteer Program: The volunteers will clean and prepare the food for the red pandas. Red pandas eat mostly bamboo, apples and panda cakes.
b.Learn about wildness survival training program for captive raised bred pandas : At Hetaoping, cubs are prepared for release largely without human contact. They are raised by their mothers in large bushy enclosures until independent, then moved together to larger isolated compounds. Their only interaction with humans is with the keepers who deliver bamboo daily, dressed in panda suits liberally soaked in panda urine to cover the human smell. Anyone visiting the center must wear the urine-soaked suits. Training to survive in the wild is left to the mothers.

I was able to creat a custom panda tour with My Panda Tours, and it was most definitely worth the price! I got to learn so much about pandas from my amazing tour guide Alex, who you know loves pandas! The experience of volunteering with the red pandas is truly an opportunity of a lifetime. Pandas are from Chengdu, so when you are in Chengdu you have to see the pandas! I also need to mention Alvin who helped make the best possible day!
