Wolong Panda Volunteer Day Tour

Panda keepers need to supply fresh bamboo to the pandas each day but only 30% of which will be eaten and the rest bamboo wasted. You will need to sweep out the leftovers, replace it with fresh ones, and clean out the feces.

Pandas are supplied with panda cakes, apples, and carrots four times a day. The panda keepers will show you how to feed a panda with your own hands at close proximity.
