Ji is a great guide, and great driver, and we saw lots of pandas and he tried hard for us to show us big ones and babies too
Thank you so much, Francis, I had a great time with you and your child that day. I really admire the way you care about giving your child a meaningful experience. That kind of attention as a father is very special. James was also very polite, curious, and full of energy, which made the tour very enjoyable for me too. Wishing you both all the best, and I hope our paths cross again.
It was a very nice trip. I got lots of interesting information about pandas and generally about a country. It is definitely worth to go to Chengdu and visit pandas place with Ji, who is very nice and professional. Thank you Ji.
Thank you so much, Teresa, I really enjoyed spending time with you in Chengdu. Our conversations were very interesting, especially the stories you shared with me about Polish culture, food, and people. They really left a deep impression on me. I’m very happy we had the chance to meet, and I hope our paths cross again.
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. Liu Ji was outstanding—friendly, professional, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to the detailed explanations, we learned so much about the pandas, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Everything was perfectly organized, nice and clean car, stress-free, and the value for money was exceptional. It was one of the best tours I've taken in China. A huge thank you to Liu Ji for making this an unforgettable day for my daughter. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chengdu! Ps it's an honest review with no sponsoring ;)
Thank you so much, Rachid, I had a great time with all of you that day. You are such a lovely family, and your daughter was very sweet and polite. I also really enjoyed our conversations. The way you live with discipline and good energy honestly inspired me too. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again.
I joined two morning tours at the Chengdu Research Base to see Hua Hua and the baby pandas. From the start, Mr. Liu Ji was responsive and efficient, his fluent English facilitated communication. To visit the world-renowned Honorary Director of the Chengdu Culture and Tourism Bureau, Miss Hua Hua, expect a queue of around 45 mins to 1 hour for a brief 3-minute viewing. You also need to arrive at the Base before it opens at 7:30 a.m. Other uncontrollable factor includes many baby pandas sleeping on the trees, even in the morning. What sets Ji apart is his friendly, cheerful demeanor and seamless organization. Overall, the tours were comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend his service.
Thank you so much, Wendy! 😊 I had such a great time spending those two days with you. Thank you for always being so kind and supportive. It really means a lot to me. Take care, and see you again! ❤️🐼
Great to see what is being done to bring back this wonderful animal.
Thank you so much, Paul, I really enjoyed our conversations, and I was especially touched hearing about the work you do to help people in need. Your kindness stayed with me after the tour. Thank you also for your warm invitation. I really hope I can see you again in Melbourne one day. Take care, and wishing you all the best.
Great experience spending the afternoon in this Panda Base with a very knowledgeable guide that became our friend. We had the opportunity to visit unique enclosures of different species and learn new things about pandas. We strongly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much, Laura, I spent an unforgettable afternoon with you and your daughter. I’m very happy that we became friends through this tour. The parenting stories you shared with me truly inspired me, and I’ll remember our conversations for a long time. I hope both of you are doing very well, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
It was a very spontaneous and unplanned visit to Chengdu, and thanks to Ji, we had a fantastic day exploring all the highlights of the city. We highly recommend him as a guide. The little souvenirs from him were a lovely gesture. We will definitely come back here.
Thank you so much, Magda, I truly enjoyed spending the day with you and your family. You all brought such warm energy, and it was a pleasure to show you around Chengdu. I’m very happy that a spontaneous visit turned into such a meaningful day. Wishing you and your family all the best, and I hope our paths cross again.
Great experience! I was a nice trip.
Thank you so much, Marlene. Hope you have a smooth trip ahead.
From the first interaction with Ji, this was easily the best investment I made during my trip to Chengdu! Wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Ji to anyone seeking an informative, professional, reliable guide with excellent English proficiency. We went early to beat the crowds, meaning the time spent at the Panda Research Base was all quality. It was a pleasure to spend the morning with Ji learning all about not only the pandas, but life in Chengdu & China. Fantastic memories! Thank you Ji! 🙌
Thank you so much, John, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review after getting back to your busy schedule. It was a pleasure spending the morning with you in Chengdu. I also really enjoyed our conversations along the way, and I hope you and your two lovely daughters are all doing well. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again.
I had an amazing experience with my guide, Liu Ji! He accompanied me to the Panda Park and made the entire visit absolutely perfect. He was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the whole visit. His English is excellent, which made communication very easy and enjoyable, and he explained everything clearly with great enthusiasm. Thanks to him, the experience was smooth, interesting, and stress-free. Liu Ji went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Chengdu or planning a trip to the Panda Park. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!
Thank you so much, Giovanni, I also really enjoyed spending time with you. Our conversations were very interesting, and it was a pleasure to share Chengdu and the panda base with you. Have a smooth trip back to Italy. I hope we can meet again next time you come to China.
