Winter visit - no crowds, go in the afternoon - The area is much larger than I expected. If you intend to walk it, as I prefer and did, it is a long way. You also need to use your navigational skills as the Panda Villas and attractions on the south side are not well indicated as the park's intention is for you to purchase the shuttle carts. It is not a question of the price - it is mínimal- it just makes it hard to find your own way round. I did it but almost ran out of time. Travelling in December it seems like feeding time is about 15h - when the weather has warmed up. Saw loads of Pandas feeding and playing. Also, as is low season no crowds. Fantastic visit.

Great Tour - Emily is a great tour guide with perfect English language skills, so it was very easy to talk with her. She has great knowledge about the Research Base and the pandas there. I really enjoyed my time with her and can only recommend this trip.

Bella and the pandas were awesome - This was my first panda experience. I was thrilled to be able to see these animals in person. The weather was very warm and humid, so all the pandas were inside, which was unfortunate. For someone like me who doesn't speak Chinese, it was great having a tour guide who spoke English. My tour guide was Bella, and she was awesome. I never felt rushed, she answered all my questions, was very personable. Highly recommended!

Great tour with a great tour guide! - I booked this trip for our son who is traveling through China after recently graduating from college. Just moments after booking the trip, Bella contacted me to get contact details for our son. I was immediately impressed with her level of professionalism. She met our son and gave him a fantastic tour of this facility. He thoroughly enjoyed his time with her and said she was an excellent guide. From my view, if you can impress a 22 year old male, you will be able to impress anyone. Thank you Bella!

My visit to the Chengdu... - My visit to the Chengdu Research Base was amazing, thanks to our guide, Wu. He took us to the less crowded parts of the park, allowing for a peaceful and intimate experience with the pandas. Wu's knowledge and passion for the pandas made the visit truly special. Highly recommend requesting Wu for a unique and memorable experience!

Pandas are beautiful! - The pandas are amazing! The park is very big. It was very crowded and busy, I recommend going in the morning because the pandas are awake, in the afternoon they usually sleep

A day in the park - A nice day in the park and enjoying watching pandas (in summer mostly they are indoor to cool down) and the red panda , more active and can be viewed in their natural environment. Well connected by subway and bus 408 that takes you there directly

Giant panda tour - Only saw about 7 giant pandas, and some of these were hidden amongst bamboo plants. On the up side, I still got to see the giant pandas while they are still endangered
