Chengdu Giant Panda Base is not only the place with the largest number of giant pandas in the world, but also an important base for giant panda breeding and scientific research. At the same time, it also simulates the natural habitat of giant pandas in the wild, presenting tourists with the scene of an ecological park. There are more than 100 giant pandas here. Visitors can observe the daily life of the pandas closely through the fence or glass window, and even have the opportunity to appreciate their cute appearance in outdoor activities. And if you are lucky enough, you can also go to the baby delivery room and witness the newly born giant panda baby with your own eyes. The cuteness can make people melt instantly. The best time to watch pandas is to go to the base at 7, 8, and 9 o'clock every day, because after this period, the giant pandas will start to enjoy their lunch break after breakfast. However, even if you miss the best viewing period, you can still appreciate their cute eating appearance, various shapes emerge in an endless stream, and think that the baby pandas are too cute. The sightseeing bus route starts from the main gate, passes through the giant panda sun delivery room, Villa No. 2, then to the red panda delivery room, and finally returns to the moon delivery room, Villa No. 1 and the giant panda kitchen, allowing you to enjoy the harmonious beauty of nature and animals during the journey. The sightseeing bus route passes through many scenic spots, with sufficient opening hours from 07:30 to 18:00, and the scenic area is very user-friendly.
I took customers to see pandas many times when I worked in the past few years. This is the first time I took my children to go. Because it was almost noon, there was basically no outdoors. I saw a total of ten in the air-conditioned room. I remember a lot of panda babies before. I don’t know if it’s not open or how I didn’t see it.
Unfortunately, I almost saw the flowers. It is recommended to open the door at 6:30 in the morning and go directly to Villa No. 6. There may be no queue. The giant panda villa townhouse behind is highly visible.

I love you very much~ Giant panda, too cute, the environment here is good, the park is relatively large, there are many giant pandas to watch, there are all different ages, the giant pandas are too cute, the fat pier in the park eats bamboo shoots, lying on the wooden frame, walking on the ground, and sleeping on the branches in the morning. I am amused each other,... I saw a lot this time, it was so interesting, it was worth going. By the way, you can also punch the card at the post office, the Baizhou Panda Zhang, it is worth stamping. Beautiful scenery...⊙ω⊙
Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, referred to as "Panda Base", is located in the north of Chengdu city, is a comprehensive institution integrating giant panda protection, research, education and tourism. The base is committed to the protection and breeding of rare and endangered wildlife such as giant pandas, and also carries out public education and educational tourism projects.
Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is located in Chengdu City. The way to travel is subway + bus, or taxi. It is especially recommended that you definitely choose the south gate regardless of whether you look at the flowers or not! The south gate is a dense panda area. The west gate does not say anything else. It is a commercial street that has to walk for a while. The south gate has the feeling of a park, and the west gate is like a new scenic spot. The recommended route is: go in at the south gate and go straight to Villa 6 (queue to see the flowers)~ visit the remaining villas~Red Panda Production Room + Activity Field~Moon Production Room (Sun Production Room is being renovated)~Panda Club Living Room~Star Production Room (Cubs will come out at 14 pm to let the wind out!)~West Gate out.
The science is very interesting, the environment facilities are better, and the experience of taking children to watch is excellent. The downside is that there are too many people, and you need to queue up during peak hours. The area is large and the distance is a bit physical. Watching the panda weather has a big impact, and the panda does not like to come out on rainy days. -Lack of surrounding facilities: There are relatively few places around the base for tourists to relax, entertain and shop. After visiting the base, tourists can choose other activities.
