Tourist Attraction
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (hereinafter referred to as the Panda Base), located at 1375# Panda Avenue, Chenghua District, Chengdu City, is 10 km away from the city center (Tianfu Square), about 30 km from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and about 70 km from Tianfu International Airport. Proclaimed the ecological demonstration project for giant panda ex-situ conservation, the Panda Base, covering an area of 3.07 square kilometers, serves as the world’s preeminent institution for giant panda ex-situ conservation, scientific research and breeding, popular science education, and cultural tourism. The Panda Base wears its title as the sanctuary for giant pandas, red pandas, and other endangered wild animals exclusive to China with pride. The scenery is breathtaking: trees cover the slopes as crystal clear rivers wind down the hills. Forests line the paths, nesting birds that sing their sweet melodies. The Panda Base, as a beautiful garden, is China’s worst-kept secret – “the natural paradise of the national treasure and our Xanadu”.
