The Chengdu Panda Research Center is fantastic place to visits. It seems like they take good care of the pandas. - Great place to visit. Of you are a foreigner and not connected to Chinese payment system you need to book thru agency such as Viator or China Highlights.

I had never seen a panda bear so close before - I took this tour, and it was a great choice. My day started punctually. The breeding center is about 30 minutes by car from the city center. Witnessing these magnificent creatures up close was a dream come true. Beyond their adorable antics, I was deeply touched by the dedication of the staff to preserve and breed these beautiful bears. Learning about their conservation efforts sheds light on the importance of protecting these endangered species. It was a truly enriching experience, filled with wonder and a renewed sense of appreciation for the natural world.
