This was an amazing experience to connect with nature, be with yourself and connect with Xiao Ma, Spring and the aunties. I had the perfect balance of solo time in nature and experiences with students (workshops and summer camps) that were there for about a week. Great opportunity to practice Chinese. The working hours are usually from 9-12 and 3-5 and they are flexible to adjust the hours if needed. I was able to go visit Yangshuo during my days off. There are 5 climbing routes on the property, hikes, and caves too! Thank you again for a great time!

Beautiful, peaceful place—perfect for relaxing. Despite the language barrier, everyone was very warm (especially Xao Ma & Spring). Flexible work, fun activities (like climbing and cave exploring), and amazing food. Special thanks to the sweet garden auntie for fresh fruit. Scooter and a stunning river nearby. Overall, an amazing first Worldpackers experience!

I had a very interesting experience volunteering there. The work can vary depending on the needs of the farm and the guesthouse, so being flexible and open to different tasks is important. Overall, it's a good experience for people who enjoy nature, want to learn about sustainable living, and are curious about rural life in China.
