Help us in a permaculture farm in China

United Kingdom

5

We spent a rewarding 2.5 weeks at the project helping with kids' summer camps, cleaning (hotel rooms and dishes for guests), and farm work (trimming, moving materials, picking fruit). Leo and Snow were very welcoming. Summer heat makes hard work. Our tasks were fairly fixed from the start but we could ask to switch. It's sometimes unclear what is expected of you without Mandarin skills, but patience and positivity go a long way. It was great to meet diverse people from around China and spend time in a beautiful place. Seeing kids interact with nature and bond with each other was a highlight.

It was the most wonderful experience I had in china and one of the best in my life. From the kindness and the caring of the hosts and the respect, to the food and the experience with the customers, to experiencing guiling. I would never get that experience for simply traveling by myself

Volunteering at the project was such a nice experience, I learned a lot and enjoyed a lot. I got to meet really incredible people at this place, including the hosts. Liu and Snow are so welcoming, caring and really nice people, I am so glad to have met then and also the ayis. The only thing i would recommend them readjusting is the organization and the work hours; most of days we ended up working for more time than the amount of hours is stipulated in the volunteer position. I really felt like I was with family. Thank you so much the project for everything :)

My time at Leo's farm was amazing. At first, it felt unclear — my friend and I were the only volunteers, helping with basic tasks like gardening and cleaning with aunties who didn't speak English but were kind. After two days, Leo arrived and brought structure and great energy. He's incredibly charismatic and made us feel welcome. Later, a group of students our age joined, and even on quiet days with little to do, it still felt meaningful. The atmosphere, people, and nature made it one of the most beautiful and special places I've ever been.

Omry and Yoav are really nice guys. Because Snow and I have already been Israel so we have lots of topic about the nature, culture food and people. We had the nature camp at that time while they two provided lots of help. They also really enjoyed the outdoor activities such as rock climbing and exploring the cave and so on. Thank you for you two all the help provided. Best wishes.

Me and my friend arrived at the farm at the start of our journey in China. The team and other worldpackers were very warm and welcoming. The farm is also used as a hotel and we hosted a group of students from Beijing. We helped as guides for rock climbing and caving and had an absolute pleasure with them. Farming can be a little confusing because only the owner knows good English, but you get used to the hand gestures. The hours are really flexible so you should be prepared. Overall best experience I could ask for as a first volunteering job. Highly recommended!

I had spent about 10 days at the project! It was such a fun, and peaceful time. I got there at the end of the kids camp and had a chances to do outdoor activities with kids. Then I had the whole 7 days helping aunties around the place such as cleaning guest rooms and gardening. Aunties couldn't speak english and to be honest, I got in shocked with the language barrier and caused me a day to adapt to it. At the bottom line, we just tried to understand each other and translator app worked well. 3 meals a days was beyond great. I haven't felt hungry even second. Accommodation was good. 謝謝!

I really enjoyed my time at the project. The location is very peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by nature and mountains. The work varies a bit day to day, from working in the garden to assisting with various tasks around the house or helping out with guests. Communication was a bit challenging at times, and there were moments when I wasn't totally sure what needed to be done. But everyone was kind and patient, and I always felt welcomed and included. It was a meaningful experience overall that I am very grateful for.

I had a great time volunteering at the project and Farm in Yangshuo. The farm is peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by nature. Mr. Liu is a kind and caring host, and the work was fair and well-organized. Food is fresh and mostly from the farm. The local staff were friendly, special Ms. Mo (Mo Ayi) and Ms. Zhang (Zhang Ayi) though mostly spoke dialect. Best to visit during peak seasons to join fun activities like rock climbing and tie-dye. A meaningful and refreshing experience—I'm truly grateful!

This was my second experience with Worldpackers and it set a high expectation. My stay was so beautiful surrounded by the beauty of Guilin, working with the kindest people I now call friends and get to try new activities . IEveryday was different and my work wasn't always the same. Thank you for the opportunity and would highly recommend :))

Staying the Farm was an amazing experience! I was there in February, during the low season, so there were no guests. It's the perfect time if you're looking for a peaceful, quiet place surrounded by beautiful mountains and nature. Be prepared though — the weather can be really cold, but it's absolutely worth it. Since there were no guests, most of my tasks were gardening with one of the aunties. She doesn't speak English, but we always found ways to understand each other. The food prepared by the aunties was absolutely delicious, made with fresh vegetables straight from the garden.
