Chengdu Panda Base: Giant & Red Pandas Up Close

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.
