Such a fulfilling and wonderful experience when there are children staying at the inn, there are hikes with the guests that are sensational and hidden gems. The mountainous area of the farm is vast and beautiful! It is so lovely to be able to engage with the activities and be a part of the guests' stay. The aunties cooking is the best food I've ever had. Sticky rice !! 😍😍😍Note that during your stay you are mostly asked to do housekeeping, and these hours can become a little unclear.

I really liked the experience in the project. I got a worker's room, which was okay for the week. The place is like a little oasis and the staff is very helpful. Luckily I spoke Chinese, altough Katy and ηŸ³ε€΄θ€εΈˆ speak very good English. The only thing I'd put more attention on is the working hours, as some days we were doing 6+ hours. However, they were quite flexible with us and took care of us, and I also joined some activities they did! I'm vegan and they arranged some kind of protein in every meal after I told them, it was very kind of them. Thanks for everything and see you soon❀️

My stay at the Inn was very enjoyable and a great chance to connect with nature. The work was varied, going from weeding and pruning to assisting with reception duties. The staff was friendly, though it helps to know a bit of Chinese to communicate with the aunties. By the end of my stay, Leo took us hiking and showed us how to do bamboo weaving with some locals, which gave us a real taste of the local culture and made the experience much more memorable. I had a great time at the project, thanks for the opportunity! :)

I arrived during a summer camp for local students. As such, my first week of volunteering was spent helping out with and participating in the daily activities, which included cave exploration, mountain scaling, paddleboarding, etc. It was a good opportunity to interact with the children and their parents. The second week was dedicated to farm work which included pruning trees, weeding and watering crops, fertilizing roots, etc. There were also other tasks to help out with such as reception, cooking, collecting goods from the pier, etc. Overall, a unique and invaluable experience.

I really liked the experience! The farm is really beautiful and the location is amazing, everything is surrounded by nature and mountains. The work was different everyday and some of the tasks were really interesting. Despite all of this there were some problems with communication. A lot of the times I was really confused about the work hours and about the tasks themselves. Majority of workers also do not speak English so sometimes I could barely understand what I needed to do. Overall I think it was still worth it, and I'm really thankful to Leo for letting me stay and work with them!

The project is in a very peaceful and beautiful location. Volunteering here is the best way to explore the Yangshou region. The farm itself is beautiful with cute dogs and cats but beware the aggression of the goat. There is different work to do everyday and its usually fun and allows room for some creativity and independence. Very tranquil place to disconnect from the busier parts of China and get your hands dirty doing fun things and meet some other people!

Sid is a very good person. You are very responsible, and the aunt praises you highly, admiring the way you mow the lawn so cleanly. You can complete every task assigned to you with diligence. Thank you for your contributions to Nirvana Organic Farm Inn. I recommend you to any other workpackers.

This is a super cool opportunity if you like to immerse in a local culture. It's not overly touristy nearby and there are plenty of fun things to do and places to hike! You also get to do fun things on the weekends and meet locals. The only thing I would suggest is that communication could be a bit better. Often times it was confusing what was supposed to be done or wanted of us. Overall, I would suggest coming here for a great experience!

Jasmine is a nice girl. You are very responsible and always able to complete the tasks assigned to you by the aunt. On Children's Day, you had a great time playing with the kids, and the painted fan you created is very beautiful. You have left us with very good memories.

It was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was really great . The place is absolutely wonderful, the mountains are breathtaking, it's really beautiful and quiet. I think it's a really good way to discover a part of China that is not that easily accessible, and to meet really nice locals. The room was very comfortable, and the work was not too hard. Therefore, I think the communication could be better, and the working hours could be arranged better to leave volunteers more time to visit the area. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you Leo, and all the project team !

Elsa is a wonderful girl. She arrived during the rainy season, wearing a raincoat. She went to the passion fruit orchard, climbed a ladder, and pruned all the dead branches from the passion fruit plants. The aunt praised her for being a very responsible person. Thanks to her efforts, two months later, we were able to enjoy the passion fruits from the orchard she had taken care of. We appreciate her hard work.
