We went to the Panda base yesterday and had a wonderful time. The Pandas seem very happy and comfortable. We arrived at about 8.30am just after the Pandas are fed. Apparently later in the day they tend to sleep. It was a wet and cool day which is what so the pandas like. Well worth the trip to Chengdu. More

Extremely well maintained and organised centre. Large enough to not feel crowded. Plenty of pandas in various stages of growth as well as other diversions in the park including red pandas. Worth buying a ticket for the shuttle as soon as you walk in so that later when you are miles from the entrance you can get a ride back.... More

We booked our trip to the Base through the Lazybones Hostel. It was a fantastic experience. We live in East Africa so we are used to seeing wonderful animals all the time, but there is nothing seeing a bunch of baby pandas grouped together having their bamboo breakfast munch. For a reasonable fee, you can hold a baby panda, although... More

Well maintained facility with good encounters with many Pandas. If travelling independantly, enlist the help of the guides. These are a great resource and take you quickly to the highlights. Once you are left to your own devices, it is not easy to find the way out though, so take a map of the grounds as well More

First trip to China was to see this sanctuary for Pandas. Well advertised; easy to access; very clean & tidy with lots of colorful flowers / shrubs; good sized, open & very well-maintained facilities for the pandas; also had lake with good variety of waterfowl - don't miss feeding the colorful carp & black swans; hilly area, so wear good...

This is a must see! Have lived in China for almost a year and this has to be the most well done attraction I have seen. You must get there early (doors open at 8am) to see the pandas in their natural habitat, by 10:30 or eleven they are in their indoor playgrounds which is a different feel. The grounds... More

This was an amazing experience and I was amazed by the number of pandas you were able to see at close range without high fences or glass walls. We spend Alger four hours at the base and it really was worth spending the time to walk around the whole centre. We got there early in the morning before 9am so... More

This was one of my top expiriences visiting China. I couldn't believe how close you were to so many panda bears. I am not one of those Panda guys but I love nature and I love seeing something that has been around for so many years close to its natural environment. I ended up saying why no pay the $200... More

There's a lot of panda breeding going on here. That's interesting. Plus the grounds of the place are quite pretty with nice gardens, a lake, and plenty of walking areas More
