The hometown of giant pandas is Ya'an, where they were discovered more than a hundred years ago where I came from.

As a national treasure, the giant panda can be said to be the most popular animal in our country. No matter where the zoo is, as long as there are a few giant pandas in it, the popularity will not be bad. Many people’s favorite place to see giant pandas is Chengdu. However, in fact, the first giant panda discovered in the world was found in [Ya’an Dengchigou] 3 hours away from Chengdu. Dengchigou is known as the "birthplace of giant pandas". As early as 1869, Western missionary David discovered the first giant panda here, captured it, made specimens and sent them back to Europe for exhibition. The black-and-white animal officially entered the eyes of the world, setting off a global "panda craze" that lasted for more than a hundred years. As a 4A-level tourist attraction, the scenery of Dengchigou is also very beautiful. When we come to Dengchigou, we can feel the uniqueness of living in nature. We can watch clouds in the morning and stars at night. We can escape the summer heat, watch red leaves in autumn, and enjoy the snow scenery in winter. Experience, the stream from the snow-capped mountains flows through the village, the snow-capped mountains and forests are close at hand; the slopes on both sides of the valley are covered with colorful autumn leaves, now is the best time to come. There is also a nearly 200-year-old church in Dengchigou that combines Chinese and Western architectural styles. It was built by the French Far East Church in 1839. Although it is a wooden structure, it has survived more than two hundred years and is still well preserved today. The wing of the church courtyard also serves as an exhibition hall for animals and plants in Fengtongzhai Nature Reserve. It contains many animal and plant specimens, and also displays many historical materials about David's discovery of giant pandas. It is worth visiting in detail. In addition to the Catholic Church and the exhibition hall, we drove up the landscape highway for about ten minutes to reach the [Panda Paradise]. Dengchigou is the hometown of giant pandas. Many giant pandas have walked out from here, and now there are even more giant pandas. Most of them function as "panda nursing homes". The park is highly integrated with nature, providing a semi-wild environment for the elderly pandas. It is also a good place for tourists to appreciate pandas. After watching the church, you can Don't miss this place.
