Chengdu Panda Research Base Tickets And Optional Private Tour

About this activity

One of Chengdu’s most popular attractions, this panda park 18km north of the city centre is the easiest way to glimpse Sichuan’s most famous residents. Don't, however, make the mistake of thinking you'll be seeing wild pandas. They are kept in large enclosures and have a dedicated team of scientists and keepers tending to their every need.

• As well as living, breathing pandas, there are some fascinating panda information centres and museums explaining panda conservation and husbandry.
• Home to nearly 120 giant and 76 red pandas, the base focuses on getting these notoriously love-shy creatures to breed and has been remarkably successful at it.
• March to May is the ‘falling in love period’ (wink wink).
• If you visit during summer or autumn, you may see tiny newborns in the nursery incubators.
