We had made internet arrangements for our transportation with an English speaking driver before we left home with a man named “Mickal”. We were arriving at CTU from HGK and tried to call his cell phone, but could not get a connection in the short time we had at the airport. Just the same, he was there for us to help us to our hotel. The main reason we wanted to visit Chengdu was to visit the Wolong Panda Reserve. If it were not for that, we would not have visited the area at all. We were arriving at about 10:00pm on our flight from Hong Kong so there was nothing left for that day but to get to the hotel and try to eat and sleep. With Mickal’s help, this was an enjoyable experience and we were ready for our one chance day to make it to Wolong. This sounded pretty easy from all the research we had done, but it was certainly not the case. The road is not only difficult on a good day, but it is under serious construction as we write. The driving skills that Mickal exhibited were outstanding! In the face of all the obstacles we encountered, he had us at our destination in excellent time. WOLONG NATURE RESERVE!!! We enjoyed seeing the area the Pandas really live in. It is outstanding. With that behind us, Mickal suggested we visit the Panda Research & Breeding Center just outside downtown Chengdu. We had only the next morning before our next flight to Xian. We had believed this would be too much like a zoo, but he persuaded us to see it. It is excellent!!! He also managed to get us to the Wenshu Temple & Monastery and back to the airport for our next flight in record time. We cannot speak highly enough of the help Mickal provided for us. If you are going this way, and do not have him to help you, you will be losing out. He is an outstanding person. If anyone wishes to contact us directly about this, please feel free to drop us an e-mail and we will be happy to respond and try to assist you.
