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!

New Chengdu Panda Base, People's Park, Wide & Narrow Alley, Largest Panda Sculpture at Taikoo Li
Overview of your Chengdu tour
The Chengdu Panda Base is home to over 150 giant pandas and 70 red pandas. As the world's largest panda research and breeding facility, the base has recently expanded from 69 to 238 hectares to enhance the visitor experience during peak season. In 2022, the expansion zone began trial operation, featuring new attractions such as the Panda Tower. As a knowledgeable guide familiar with every corner of the base and with prior experience working at the Wolong Wild Panda Base, I have designed "Smart Routes" to provide an enjoyable experience with the pandas while avoiding crowds. I can also share my extensive knowledge of pandas and interesting stories with you. Pandas are not only found in the zoo but also throughout the city in the form of panda snacks, panda post, and panda sculptures. Join my tour and let's enjoy a Panda Day together!

Victor and driver were excellent. Victor is very knowledgeable, and would always introduce us to delicious foods. He even knows everything about the history of the food. He allows us to freely go on activities and would not rush us. He would also talk so much in the car, keeping us entertained. He is the one of the best local guides I have ever seen .Because of him, my trip was enjoyable and I would definitely engage him again.

Wonderful day with Victor. We spent a day at the Panda base and the incredible Dujiangyan irrigation system which is environment-friendly and over 2200 years old! Victor speaks fluent English and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Chinese history and culture, especially the Szechuan area. His helpful tips about the hotel and restaurants made the trip much better. Always proactively helpful and never pushy. He plans but you decide what you want. One of our best guides ever. Will use him again when we return!
Regin C.Philippines
Victor was very accommodating from the booking process to the tour. He responded to several requests very positively and suggest options that are best for the tour. A very informative guide and has a positive persona that will even make the tour worthwhile. The Panda Research Base tour was definitely a good one. The city tour that you can customized with Victor so to maximize the time and make it worthwhile. Definitely the tour and the guide are recommendable.
Jennifer C.China
Victor is an exceptional guide - professional, knowledgeable, passionate and energetic. The tour was flexible and we were able to go at our own pace. Apart from the panda base, we wanted somewhere closer to Chengdu, and Victor recommended the Sanxingdui Museum, which included captivating artefacts from ancient China. Overall, a great and memorable experience. Thank you Victor!
