view each itinerary for what is included:

Sights that we visit in Beijing include the Great Wall & the Summer Palace

From Beijing our group flies to the city of Chengdu where we enjoy the Sichuan Opera  Those in the 12 day tour will then have a chance to experience a behind the scenes half day volunteer program at the Chengdu Panda Base.

We then drive into the mountains to the small town of Yaan or Ya'an to visit the
Bifengxia Panda Breeding Preserve
At Bifengxia our group has several days to work and play with the pandas.

From Bifengxia we make the grand adventure trip & visit the Wolong region. We plan to visit the newly built replace facility there.

Next we fly to the ancient China capital City of
Xian or Xi'an to visit the Terra Cotta Museum

Then finally we leave China and head back to our homes wherever they may be.

Join me, the guy who wrote the book about the Panda Breeding Preserves, as I set out to visit the World's three best Panda research and breeding facilities all on one tour.

This is Keith and I wanted to discuss tour prices. I know our tour is higher than many Chinese tours.  But we don't do large bus tours. We don't force you to shop for hours on end in special shop where we can collect commissions as high as 50%.  We try to give you a broad and intimate view of China as it is today.

Along with the cultural and people oriented side of our tours, we provide you a special and meaningful experience with the giant pandas.  With this new tour design you can visit as many as 3 different panda facilities.  This is an amazing opportunity

By not following the traditional China tour operator protocols our tours are just naturally more expensive. Compare a set meal for $2 or $3 to any meal our groups sit down to enjoy and you can see the difference.  I'm positive our tour price gives excellent value.  It is not a budget discount package. And I am positive no other tour will give you this type of panda experience.

The late 2016 and 2017 schedule is in the works with new dates to be announced in early summer 2016

$2,595 with 5 PANDA DAYS
Special Panda only trip.  No touring in Xian or Beijing.  We take you directly to the pandas.  For those with limited time.

A panda day is a tour day that includes activity at one of the panda preserves. We mention this to give you an idea of how much time you will have with the pandas.

Giant Pandas and Me:
Ten Years of Discovery
by Keith E. Jones

It is easy to work with us to customize extensions of this tour for Yangtze River cruises or to visit other cities or wilderness areas either before or after our Panda intense tour.  Recommended sites include Shanghai and Guilin and the River Li day cruise or the rice terraces (said to be the most beautiful spots in China). 

As we have been doing a little late spring cleaning and begining to refresh our webpages, and our slideshows and videos, we came across some old favorites. To the left of this is a video we put together a few years ago with some pictures and videos from some of our trips. We figured we'll put them up on the web and let people enjoy them again. If you've traveled to China with us and recognize any of the pictures or clips, send us an email, we would love to hear from you.

A quick note about the video, there is no sound, so put on a favorite song and enjoy the pictures and video clips.

If you're interested in being in the next video, let us know that you would like to be a part of our next trips and we'll make sure we get some good pictures and videos of you with the pandas.
