Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, Chengdu

Entrance fee: 55 yuan/person This center is located ten kilometers far from Chengdu city, on Futoushan Mountain. It was established in 1987 due to the increasing cases of poaching and the reduction of the area of bamboo forests. Thanks to the creation of the center, the number of pandas, long considered an endangered species, has grown to two thousand. On the territory of the panda Research Base in Chengdu there are nurseries for different types of pandas, including red ones, aviaries and a museum. Museum visitors can learn about the evolution of pandas, their features, habitats. There are stuffed animals, skeletons, samples of their nutrition. It's better to come early in the morning, because in the afternoon it becomes really crowded here. #themepark #pandas #chengdu
