A small team, based in China since 2020
PandaRoads is a small local team in China. Two things we do: plan China trips, and get real work done on the ground. In China since 2020, with real people on WhatsApp.
Our story
PandaRoads started in 2020 as a travel planning service. English-speaking travelers were stuck between expensive tour packages and trying to do everything themselves in a language they do not read.
So we built itineraries the way we would plan a trip for a friend who was visiting — real routes, real prices, places we would actually go ourselves. That is still how every plan gets made.
Over time, the same travelers started asking for something else: “Can you also just do things for us in China?” Check a supplier, verify a factory, find out what a product really costs on 1688. We are already here, so now we do that too — and that grew into our full set of on-the-ground services.
Every inquiry is handled by a person based in China, in text on WhatsApp. Every report is built fresh for the request: real checks, real photos, sources you can verify.
Proof, not promises
2-day delivery on remote requests, same-day results on-site, written in English with sources you can verify.
Why travelers and buyers trust us
Fluent English
Business-level English in every interaction, on and off the ground.
Local knowledge
Real, on-the-ground experience of China’s cities, markets and factories.
On your side
We work for you, not the supplier — and we say so when a deal is not good.
Confidential
Your product, pricing and supplier information are handled discreetly.

Du Chengcai · Travel Planner & On-the-Ground Lead, PandaRoads
When you send an inquiry, Du is the person who reads it. He is based in China and handles trip planning and on-the-ground requests directly, in plain English on WhatsApp — no call center, no chatbot. Because he is physically here, “local team” is not a slogan: the same person who builds your day-by-day itinerary can walk a market, check a supplier, verify a real 1688 price, or pick something up for you while you travel.
