Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (Xiongmao Jidi) - Your first stop is the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in Chengdu, home to over 80 of China’s iconic pandas. While most are the familiar black and white variety, the Base also houses several smaller, lesser-known red pandas.

You’ll also learn about the efforts of scientists and ecologists to protect the remaining wild pandas and increase the captive population. Since 1987, over 100 pandas have been born at the Base.
