Our guide Molly met us in front of our hotel prompt and on time. Our driver was already outside waiting for us when it was time to leave. Our ride to the Panda research center was quick and short. Molly was a great guide. She took us on paths away from the crowds, so at times we felt like we were the only ones walking around the park! She took us to most exhibits before the pandas have been released, so we were front and center waiting. She knew when to tell us to move on to see other Pandas. We were planning to only see 2 exhibits, but she took us to a 3rd one because she saw how much we were enjoying ourselves. She even took us over to a newly opened pavilion where we got to sip some coffee and watch the pandas as they walked around. Lily was on the other end to communicate with us and she was prompt and very professional! The afternoon was filled with a delicious hot pot lunch and a tour of the city. We got to People's Park and enjoyed the afternoon tea sharing stories with Molly. The most interesting part was the match making square, we had the best time walking around with Molly as she read us the resumes!
