poshjourneys.com, wildchina.com or virtuoso.com (luxury travel agency). The Wolong Hotel is a 4 star hotel near the reserve. The Panda Inn located at the reserve is a 2 star hotel. Let me know if you go & how you trip was. I've just started researhing this tour & plan on volunteering there myself

Honeybummy,
Ever so often I check in here by typing "wolong" in the search box. This time I was surprised to find your response! Thanks for the info.
A trip is in the works with a departure of about June 24, 2006. About 4 to 6 weeks earlier would be better weather/less heat & humidity, but I can’t travel then. I hope to spend 4-5 days at the reserve doing whatever volunteer work they request. One of the days I'm there I'll leave and do a market day, rural area tour instead of the pandas. I am using Mongol Global, an agency I first used for a June 2005 trip to Mongolia and the Great Wall. Link to a report on that trip:

A physical and a doctor’s release was required for any volunteering. Feel free to email me. I’ll definitely post a report upon my return. But it might not be until Aug or Sept 2006.
