More of a Panda Lovers Collection ... Each Panda has a Sweet Story Behind them

We are extreme Panda lovers, so to fulfill our fantasy vacation, we simply HAD to visit on this China vacation trip the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding Park!

At the Entrance to the Panda Park

This Park, is located just seven (7) miles from downtown Chengdu, China, the Sichuan Provincial Capital. This wonderful place is a must see for ALL Panda Bear Lovers around the world!!! The park is open from 7:30am to 6pm year-round. The price of admission costs only RMB 58 (about $8.35 USD) per person and most of the income is used to maintain this wonder facility, to care for and to protect pandas, as well as to research and promote panda bear breeding. You can take pictures of pandas at the park, but NO FLASH photography is allowed. English-speaking guides are available for a modest price.

Inside the Park...Lets go see the Pandas !!!

Which Exhibit do we visit First?

Despite the giant panda’s status as a Chinese national treasure, the panda population worldwide has been reduced to just about 3,000. The goal of this park is to focus on breeding and conservation of giant panda bears eventually introducing new pandas into wild populations in China.

I Like You...Lets Hug

When you visit this pristine park, you can view panda behavior from above at the panda nursery, and also see many adult pandas as at other natural environment enclosures which have native bamboo, the favorite food source of pandas in the wild. There are many areas to visit including Young Yearling Pandas.

There are other enclosures in the park to visit and we had a chance to see smaller red pandas, peacocks , golden monkeys, some tigers from South China and other endangered animals native to this part of China.

Beautiful Peacock

Even the Panda's like to watch the Peacocks

The Red Panda Exhibit

We were very eager to see the giant pandas eating and playing and the best time was during morning feedings, which takes place between 8 and 10am daily. So Plan your trip to see more of the Pandas in their habitat eating and playing !!!

At the end of our visit we had to stop at the gift store that sells many sizes and types of stuffed animal pandas and gifts…..we had so much fun buying these great gifts and you will too!!! You can even see Beautiful Embroidered Pandas at the Chengdu airport as well as many gift shops.
