Visit China, the only place on earth where panda lovers can volunteer at the Bifengxia Panda Center and closely interact with these amazing animals.

Suzanne Braden will participate with the tour at Bifengxia and discuss panda behaviors and efforts for long term conservation of this endangered species.

Suzanne started the non-profit Pandas International in 1999 to benefit the long term survival of the endangered Giant Panda. Her work since the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake has been invaluable in bringing critically needed supplies and expertise to help the relocated pandas. A portion of your tour cost ($200 USD per person) will be donated to Pandas International to further their conservation efforts.

On this tour, you will also explore Beijing, Sichuan, and Shanghai — visiting the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Jinsha Museum, Chengdu Panda Breeding Center, Shangli Old Village, the Bund, and Shanghai Museum. More importantly, you will volunteer at the Bifengxia Panda Center and have the opportunity to see Tai Shan of the DC National Zoo and Mei Lan of the Atlanta Zoo in their new homes!
