10 km from downtown Chengdu, Giant Panda Research Base(Xiongmao Jidi) is world-famous sanctuary and the ultimate home for China's beloved national treasures—giant pandas. Founded in 1987 with only six rescued pandas, it has grown into the world's largest panda conservation and research center, now sheltering over 260 pandas.

Spanning 3.07 km², the base features lush bamboo forests, gentle hills, and clear streams, mirroring the pandas' natural habitat. Visitors can watch fluffy pandas munching bamboo, climbing trees, or playing lazily, especially active in the early morning. It also houses red pandas and other rare species.

A top global spot for panda conservation, education, and eco-tourism, it's a heartwarming paradise where you get up close to these adorable black-and-white icons.
