My stay at the home was my first Wolrdpackers experience, and it was the perfect place to welcome me into the volunteering community! I learned a lot about Chinese culture, met a lot of locals and made a lot of great contacts. When I told Yi (the host) what I wanted to experience in China she imidietly recommend me some places to visit and contacted me with the people who can take me there. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and take part in some of the activities that the place has to offer! I hope to see you again one day Yi! :)

"书益小筑 is the place in China where being vulnerable is okay." That's how I decided to describe this experience. I recommend that when you come here, you come with 0 expectations (we all have expectations, but try to put them away). Just flow, let your emotions surface, whatever they may be, here we all learn from each other; you might cry, you might laugh, you might get angry, you might dance, whatever it is, it's going to be okay, don't give up! It's worth it. Yi is the heart and soul of this comunity, make her life brighter and smoother and you'll receive something wonderful in return."

Yi is a really great person and a wonderful host. I enjoyed my stay in Chinese village so much. It's great place to slow down, connect with nature and live like local.
Work I've done was easy: cleaning up the yard, doing dishes, take care of animals, teaching local children English. I had lots of free time, I used it to paint, doing yoga and simply rest. I've had so much fun, would love to come again someday. So so lovely, my best volunteer experience ever! Thank you so much

Volunteering in Yi's community is soo nice. I was only there for short time but so much happened and I'm just so happy to have met all of these nice people. You have a very confortable place to sleep in, nice food and work hours that are respected. In my free time Yi's friends drove me and the other volunteers to do activities or we went to a village near by with the bikes. Yi is a very positive person you really want to be around. 10/10 recommend!! be back soon for more majang games and a tibet road trip :)

This was my first experience with world packers - and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Yi is such a kind host. She has managed to create a beautiful community full of lovely people who have similar ideas about living together.
I learned so much about Sichuanese language and culture. Yi was kind enough to organise trips to see mount QingCheng and so see the SanXinDui museum. Volunteering work was not too difficult, and getting to work with the kids on the weekend was truly so much fun.
I recommend this to people looking for cultural immersion not too far from the city.

Had a really nice time here! Met a lot of beautiful people, Chinese and foreigners. Vi was very welcoming and told us about things we could do in our freetime. She taught us Mahjong, and we even went into the village ourselves and played with the elders. I recommend this place for spending time in nature, without it being to far away from the village and even just 1 hour from Chengdu.

I had an amazing two weeks here. Yi, the host, was super kind and supportive. Her house is beautiful and if you’re looking for some time in beautiful nature this is the place to be. The work is chill, and fun when the kids are around. In my free days, I even got to do an overnight trip to Chongqing. Thank you for everything 😃

I truly felt at home during my time here. The days we spent doing activities with the children were incredibly fun and meaningful, they brought so much joy and energy to each moment. Being surrounded by nature was also something special; after several weeks of continuous traveling, it really helped me recharge and reconnect with myself. I'm very grateful for this experience and everything I learned along the way.

Yi is an incredible person full of positive energy. Communication was easy (she speaks English and Chinese, and we even taught her some Spanish on some days!). She has traveled widely and always explained everything with patience and kindness. When I had a small accident and hurt my leg, she proactively helped me and encouraged me to rest. So grateful for her care.
I spent one month here, and it flew by in the best way possible. If you want to experience the authentic, warm, and magical side of China, I 100% recommend this experience. Thank you, Heyi, for everything!

This was my first experience volunteering with Worldpackers, and it could not have been better! 💚 I was able to connect with nature, meet amazing people, help with activities with the children, spend time with the animals and share special moments with the host Yi, who is a wonderful person. I also got to know Chengdu and its surroundings and developed new skills, such as cooking. It was an experience full of learning and special moments. I recommend it to anyone seeking nature, new experiences and a welcoming environment! 🌿✨
