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

Discover the wonders of Chengdu with our unique tour that takes you to two of the most significant sites in the region. Located just 40 kilometers north of central Chengdu along the same highway as Chengdu's Giant Panda Breeding Base, the Sanxingdui site is considered the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and is referred to as the Ninth Wonder of the World. This bronze-age site contains thousands of rare treasures from two large sacrificial pits dating back to 1600-1046 BC, and recent excavations have uncovered six additional sacrificial pits. Visitors can observe these new finds being prepared for display at the Sanxingdui Museum. As a former worker at Wolong Panda Base and a history enthusiast with extensive knowledge of Sanxingdui culture, I can provide expert interpretation to help you better understand these two national treasures. Don't miss this chance to experience the best of Chengdu's history and wildlife!

Victor was an excellent guide. He speaks fluent English with a broad range of technical terms and has a deep, detailed knowledge of Sichuan and Chengdu history. Victor is chatty and personable without being pushy. He listens carefully to what you want and adjusts plans accordingly. We were comfortably driven around by Victor, who is a good driver. We had very specific requests to focus on some unusual places (ancient sites, puppetry & needlework) and he designed an excellent tour based on those interests. We unreservedly recommend Victor as a guide. He would be a great guide for standard tours and more custom tours.

We had the panda base and Sanxingdui Museum tour with Victor in Sept 2023. We highly recommend this tour. The tour is well planned, and Victor is the best tour guide a tourist can expect. He is very knowledgeable about Chengdu and surrounding areas. We visited panda base in the morning, then he took us to Guanghan city for lunch to enjoy very tasty local food, we spent the whole afternoon in Sanxingdui museum, The museum is fabulous, and Victor make it even more interesting.

Victor was an excellent guide for our trip to Panda Base and Sanxingdui Museum. He is very knowledgeable on both the pandas and the relics in the museum. He provided background and historical information to put things in perspective. It is quite apparent that he is a history enthusiast, and we learn a lot. An experienced guide, Victor, understands well the nuances of what foreign visitors need. He went with our flow and pace and we never felt rushed. Thank you Victor for being flexible!

My 16 and 19 year old boys were in Chengdu for a day and they had tour that they loved. They thought the Pandas would be the highlight of the day, but it was the city thanks to Wenhao. They had very high praise for Wenhao.

Victor showed great knowledge of our main destination the Panda sanctuary and of the Panda themselves. The street we went to and the people's park were interesting additions. Thanks Victor.

Victor and Luna were excellent. Luna took us on a tour of the city the first day, with very useful tidbits of info- we especially liked the visit to the market to see all the unusual delicacies eaten in China. Victor was very useful, too; he re-routed us from our original panda trip to one farther away where it was possible to have a close encounter with a panda- this was one of the high points of our trip. He was also very knowledgeable about the panda center.
