5Great family experience!
We had the greatest experience thanks to our guide Marina. She made us feel very taken care of, also she made sure we saw as many giant pandas and red pandas as possible and that we had the best view of the Leshan Buddha. Thanks to her explanations we learned a lot, not only about the things that we were visiting but also about Chinese culture. She was very professional and kind.
