Giant Panda Base
大熊猫繁育研究基地
Learn about panda conservation and watch giant pandas at the research base.
Getting there
In northern Chengdu, set the destination to the Panda Base and check which gate you need. Metro Line 3 to Panda Avenue plus an onward bus or taxi is one option.
Admission
Check date and entry-session availability before traveling. Use your passport details if the reservation asks for identification and bring the same document.
What to see
Pick a few enclosures and walk between them rather than rushing through the entire park. Give yourself time to watch the pandas when they are visible.
Plan your visit
Go early for a better chance of seeing active pandas, and factor in the walk between viewing areas. Keep noise down around the animals.
Go early, especially in hot weather. The site is large, so choose a few viewing areas and check internal shuttle options if long or uphill walks are a concern.
