Where pandas live, Chengdu, Real China life! Hi there! I am Victor Wang. I am from Leshan where the Giant Buddha is and now live at Chengdu where the pandas live. I have been taking tourists around China for a few western tour companies between 2004 and 2011. During this time, I bought my first camera and then I fell in love with taking pictures. The magnificent views, the impressive persons, and especially the memorable moments with my guests gave me a fantastic memery. In order to spend more time with my family, I quited the tour leader job and then worked in Chengdu as a local guide and photographer 2 years ago. I have been most of the places of Chengdu, especially the poor, backward and minority areas, for both groups and pictures. All these built me a passion to Chengdu and I really want to show it to the visitors. On the other hand, after 10 years working with the foreigners, I knew what you want to see, Real China life, but not just the morden cement forests. I will share my working experience in the Panda Base with you when we visit there. I will lead you to meet the real monks or Daoists in the temple, even eat with them. I will recommend you to try the culinary(yummy!) gems off the beaten tracks in the city and you can also learn how to make them. I will introduce you to see the lama's sutra-debating at the biggest tibetan buddhism institute. I will sugguest you the right place and right time to take a best picture. In a word, I will show you the best of Chengdu whilst saving your time and hassle. If you are planning to visit China, please do not miss Chengdu, if you want to visit Chengdu, please do not forget Victor! Let us meet as strangers but part as good friends!

Overview of your Chengdu tour

The panda park is a post-earthquake reconstruction project funded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It is home to over 50 giant pandas and 20 red pandas, including some born overseas who have returned to China. Visitors may have a chance encounter with familiar pandas. As a former worker at the Wolong base, I know the pandas very well and I would like to share all the panda information with you. The Dujiangyan irrigation system, constructed around 256 BC, is an ancient ecological engineering feat that uses natural topography and hydrology to divert water for irrigation, drain sediment, and control floods without dams. Located on the Minjiang River and Mount Yulei, it is also a great place to experience nature. "

We chose this tour hoping to make the most of our daylong layover at the Chengdu airport and are so glad we did. Wenhao (Victor) proved to be a terrific guide and host who made our brief visit to China a truly memorable and enjoyable experience in spite of our considerable jet lag. His knowledge of the area and the sites we visited, particularly the pandas, was outstanding and we learned so much more from him than we ever could have on our own. His enthusiasm, humor, fluency in English, and willingness to tailor the tour to best accommodate our interests and travel schedule were all big pluses. Very highly recommended. Thank you Victor!

We were lucky and grateful to find Wenhao on the Tours By Locals website. We hired him to take us to the Dujiangyan Irrigation system and the nearby Panda Base. Wenhao did an excellent job, sharing lots of information that helped us to truly understand what we were seeing. Also, he took many photos of us together, so we didn’t have to take awkward selfies. He is considerate, personable, honest and has a great sense of humor. We cannot recommend Wenhao enough and look forward to using his services again on a future trip to China.

The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. We went to early to the Panda conservation centre to avoid crowds and see the pandas breakfasting. We went to a traditional noodle house of her choice which I have appreciated a lot because it was outside the tourist zones. We also had a great time at the irrigation system.

Dujiangyan Panda site is in my opinion a nicer site to visit as it is more tranquil and has less people. Wenhao has excellent knowledge on Pandas and will be able to explain the cute animals well. Dujiangyan was also very explained to us by him.
