Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi)

Morning, meet your guide at hotel lobby and drive out of downtown Chengdu to the world famous Panda Breeding Center. As you spend the morning exploring this panda wonderland, your experienced guide will take you on the quieter paths, while providing insightful facts about giant pandas. As you begin your tour, you will see the center’s more sedate adult pandas, but your walk takes you to the “teenage” juvenile panda enclosure, where five or more three year old live in a large open enclosure, making for wonderful photographs. At the top of the hill, the panda nursery and kindergarten house the most adorable baby pandas. You might see them drinking milk or eating bamboo, rolling around on the grass, or occasionally fighting. Depending on the weather, they could be climbing trees or snoozing under them. Unpredictable, but always entertaining!. The Panda Breeding Center also protects the endangered red panda – a type of raccoon, with a long tail and beautiful red fur.
