Information

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is located at 1375 Panda Avenue, North Outer, Chenghua District, Chengdu, 10 kilometers from the city center. It is a world-renowned ex-situ conservation base, research breeding base, public education base, and educational tourism base for giant pandas. The base covers an area of 1,500 acres. Known as the "Giant Panda Ex-situ Conservation Ecological Demonstration Project," it is famous for protecting and breeding giant pandas, red pandas, and other endangered wildlife unique to China. The area is characterized by rolling hills, mirror-like waters, rustling forests, and harmonious bird songs, earning it the title of "the natural paradise of national treasures, our utopia." The base simulates the wild ecological environment of giant pandas through landscaping techniques, with orderly distributions of panda maternity rooms, panda feeding areas, research centers, and panda hospitals, along with several luxurious panda "villas" scattered throughout the mountains and forests. Giant pandas of different ages thrive here, living harmoniously together. In 1998, it was evaluated by the World Tourism Organization as another legendary site on par with the world natural heritage site Jiuzhaigou. Since pandas are more active in the morning, it is recommended to avoid visiting in the afternoon. Due to the large area of the park, it is advisable to allocate half a day for the visit.
