What to expect

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

This guided visit takes you through key areas of the panda base in a set route inside the park. Over approximately 1.5–2 hours, you move between different villas, maternity units, and gardens to see giant pandas at various life stages and red pandas in their dedicated area.

Features

• Start at the sub-adult giant panda villa, where you observe sub-adult giant pandas in their enclosures and hear your guide explain how this stage differs from juvenile and adult life.

• Continue to the juvenile giant panda villa to see younger giant pandas in a separate space, with your guide pointing out behaviors typical of this age group as you walk between viewing areas.

• Visit the sun maternity unit and moon maternity unit in turn, learning from your guide about how newborn and very young pandas are cared for in these specialized maternity units.

• Walk through the red panda garden, where you can watch red pandas in their own garden setting and compare their appearance and habits with the giant pandas you saw earlier in the tour.

• Throughout the visit your small-group guided tour, with a maximum of 15 guests, is led by an expert Chinese and English-speaking guide who uses the included earphones so commentary is easy to hear as you move between stops.

• Benefit from your ticket for Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which covers access to the sub-adult and juvenile giant panda villas, the maternity units, and the red panda garden as part of this route.

VIP lounge rest area

After completing the walking route through the villas, maternity units, and red panda garden, your guide leads the group to the designated lounge rest area inside the base. This VIP lounge is where you slow down, sit, and round off the experience in a quieter setting.

Features

• Settle into the lounge rest area with time to relax off your feet after the walking portion of the tour, while your guide remains available for final questions about the pandas and the base.

• Enjoy the Exclusive Panda Tea Break with 1 cup of panda milk tea included for each guest, served in the lounge area as a refreshment before you leave the base.

• Take advantage of the small-group format and bilingual Chinese and English-speaking guide here as well, asking follow-up questions in a calm space without needing to keep pace with the main park route.

Wrapping up

Once your panda milk tea break in the lounge rest area is finished, your guide escorts the group back toward the south gate so you can exit the attraction from the same side where the tour began and continue your day in Chengdu.
