Accommodation and Meals
You will spend two nights in Chengdu upon arrival. You will then transfer to a hostel within the Panda Base surrounded by forests and mountains. Bedrooms accommodate two to four people and have attached bathrooms with hot water showers and Chinese styles toilets. There are laundry facilities available at the hotel.
Three meals are provided at set times in the nearby restaurant. If you eat outside of these set times, you will need to order food individually and pay the restaurant directly. The food consists of typical Chinese fare.
Free Time
The weekends will give you a great opportunity to explore the local area. Ya'an City is a 20 minute taxi ride away with lots of shops and amenities. Alternatively you can simply relax at the Panda Base with some of your fellow volunteers.
Project Support
Throughout your stay in China you
will have the support and guidance of our programme coordinators. They will provide you with
competent assistance and help you with any questions or advice you may need during your
stay. In addition, we will provide you with a 24 hour emergency contact number before you
depart, so that you can contact one of our UK staff at any time should you need to.
Project Age Limit
Minimum 18 years, maximum decided on potential participants’ health. Please be prepared that you may be working with volunteers of all ages.
