Join us as we visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, the best place to see Pandas in China. The Panda Research Base in Chengdu, Sichuan has been created to imitate the natural habitat for Giant Panda and other rare species rearing and breeding. Its stated goal is to "be a world-class research facility, conservation education centre, and international educational tourism destination." In the Panda Research Base in Chengdu we not only saw the Giant Pandas but Red Pandas as well, Holly's favourite. We spend over half a day here and also visited the bamboo tower and shopping area before getting a taxi back into Chengdu City. In Chengdu we spent the evening looking around the city searching for Hot Pot for dinner.

This captivating travelogue follows Travelshorts and family on their 12th day of an epic China adventure, a visit to the renowned Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Their early morning arrival, facilitated by pre-booked tickets through Get Your Guide, immediately throws them into the heart of the action—a bustling crowd eager to witness these magnificent creatures. The initial panda sightings, though somewhat obstructed by steamy glass and throngs of visitors, set the stage for a day of charming discoveries.
Their journey takes them on a quest to find the elusive baby pandas, leading them through bamboo-filled pathways and long queues. While the Sun nursery remains closed, a highlight unfolds at the Red Panda enclosure, where Travelshorts expresses a preference for these smaller, more agile creatures over their giant counterparts. Holly, in particular, finds them captivating, describing their unique blend of feline, lemur, and fox-like features. This section beautifully captures the family's shared delight in these unexpected discoveries.
The family's experience extends beyond the animals. They cleverly overcome the hurdle of needing a Chinese phone number to book golf carts, opting for a physical ticket purchase. The resulting souvenir tickets add a unique and humorous touch to their narrative. A climb to the Bamboo Tower is thwarted by unexpected maintenance, adding a touch of serendipity to their itinerary. Their exploration extends to a unique McDonald's offering a spicy hot pot chicken burger, a testament to the fusion of cultures found in Chengdu.
The afternoon brings a change of pace. The family navigates the bustling city streets, attempting to find a hot pot restaurant for dinner. However, long queues at multiple establishments, coupled with Holly's growing discomfort, lead them back to the hotel. This section offers a realistic depiction of travel challenges, humanizing their experience. A relaxing swim in the hotel pool provides a welcome respite from the day's adventures. The conclusion finds them enjoying a more relaxed meal at the hotel restaurant, offering a heartwarming end to a day packed with unique experiences. The video concludes with Travelshorts sharing practical travel tips, including ticket booking advice, and a heartfelt message from Holly, encouraging viewers to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell.
