Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: This is a place every panda lover should see! And also those who like nature. The research center is extremely big, so make sure you wear comfy shoes and clothes. It’s also very humid, so if you’re a girl and you wanna make your hair before you go, there’s no need 🤣 Make sure you go there at 7:30. It officially opens at 8:30 but the lines for the tickets will be even more if you go a little late. We went there in August. This is a hot season for the pandas but we could see more than 15 pandas and also we went to the cribs where we could see the newborn babies and also the nursery. Take a photo of the big map before you proceed. Once you enter, you’ll see it. There are some cafes there but my humble advice: take water and some snacks with you. For those people with walking difficulties there are small buses inside this huge place. Every ride costs 10 RMB. This has been one of the best days of our lives and we’re more than happy.

Trip.com User: Amazing place to see the Pandas. it's easier to buy your tickets online or you might not be able to get in. It gets busy in the morning and early afternoon. we went after 14:00 and the Pandas were waking up from their naps so we could see them playing and sitting. The red pandas were also very active and would scurry about with each other. they are very conscious of noise, so silence is important or they move away from the crowds. There is a lot to see and a lot of walking, so take walking shoes and plenty of water.The place is big and needs about 2-3 hours depending on how fast you can walk uphill. Overall it was worth the trip would most definitely do it again with family.

Yulia Hasto: A huge building that house shopping centre, pseudo beach plus waves pool and many others. Said to be the largest building in the world in term of floor space, it lacks humans. Even beach is empty or closed. Sadly the state of art facilities and the huge park outside are wasted despite being the 7.8 million humans plus so many multi national companies in Chengdu. Just the shops and eateries struggling on. Maybe the size intimated many people, efforts required to traverse the complex.
