How would you like to visit the Panda Breeding centre in Chengdu China

As you may have seen, we at cruise.co.uk have introduced a large number of tailor made tours, which include some fantastic tours to China.

One of my clients was asking whether or not it was possible to go and visit the Panda breeding centre in Chengdu, China.

After investigation I managed to find that it is easy to get there from Beijing and it is only an hour and half flight from Beijing to Chengdu.... so for anyone who fancies visiting this as a side trip before a cruise from Beijing then yes it is possible.

There are excursions from Chengdu that take you to the sanctuary so you can see first hand the Pandas in a natural environment and witness for yourself these magnificent creatures that are now in threat of extinction.

For anyone who fancies seeing these magnificent creatures and would like to take a cruise from Beijing then please give me a call.

How long does it take to fly to ......?

Many customers call us regarding their flights whether they are travelling from London to New York or Gatwick to Barbados and with the best will in the world none of us have ever been everywhere to be able to say off the cuff... it takes ? hours.

I have found this neat little website that checks the flying times for you and can be a great tool if you want to plan a journey and are worried about how many hours it will take you or even if you have already booked and just want to check.

Some examples are:
London to New York 6 hours 30 minutes approx.
London to Miami 10 hours 30 minutes approx
London to Hong Kong 12 hours approx.
