Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base Travel Guide

Opening Hours The base opens daily at 7:30 AM, stops ticket checking at 5:00 PM, and closes at 6:00 PM (check for holiday adjustments in advance). Early morning is when pandas are most active, so it is recommended to enter before 8:00 AM to avoid peak crowds. Tickets and Reservations Adult tickets are priced at 55 RMB per person, and student tickets are 27 RMB per person (valid ID required). Tickets can be purchased in advance for quicker entry. Transportation Guide • Metro: Take Line 3 to "Panda Avenue" station, exit at A, and transfer to the direct shuttle bus to the base (2 RMB) or take a taxi (about 10 minutes). • Bus: Routes 198 or 87 go directly to the South Gate of the base. • Driving: Navigate to "Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base South Gate." Parking is tight on weekends, so arriving early is advised. Classic Tour Route (Approx. 3-4 Hours) 1. South Gate → Swan Lake: Walk along the main road to see black swans and mallards. 2. Juvenile Panda Villa: Watch 1-2 year-old pandas play and climb trees; they are lively and adorable. 3. Adult Panda Villa: Observe adult pandas eating and resting; check out the introduction boards for "hero pandas." 4. Sun Nursery/Moon Nursery (Must-Visit!): See panda cubs inside the nursery (birth season is March-May for higher chances) and sub-adult pandas in the outdoor activity area. 5. Panda Science Discovery Center: Learn about panda conservation and research achievements; great for family interaction. 6. Panda Tower: Climb the tower for a panoramic view of the base and snap photos at the iconic spiral staircase. Tips • Do not feed, make noise, or use flash photography; maintain a safe distance. • The park has many slopes and stairs; wear comfortable shoes. • Food options inside are limited and pricey; bring your own snacks and water. • Pandas may stay indoors during hot summer days; prioritize indoor exhibits. Nearby Recommendations If you have extra time, visit "Panda Valley" in Dujiangyan for a more natural environment and a chance to encounter free-roaming red pandas.
