Chinese zoos are often equated to animal prisons by Western visitors. Fortunately Chengdu’s Giant Panda Breeding Center strays far from the norm. The research base is truly groundbreaking for country that pushes aside most environmental and ecological concerns due to its overpopulation issues. The base has a research lab, museum, panda kindergarten, and adult panda grounds. In total the base has 45 pandas. The children stay in the panda kindergarten area until they are three years old. Then they can hold their own in the adult grounds.

Arrive early to catch the pandas roll out of bed and begin their two hour breakfast. Pandas only absorb about 20% of the fibers they ingest, so they spend much of their waking hours chomping away on bamboo. In the wild, a panda’s diet is more than 95% bamboo. After waking up, taking a short stroll, and scratching their backs for a bit, it is time for breakfast. The staff generally leaves large piles of bamboo close to visitor paths, so entrants can be duly entertained. The panda nestles into a comfortable spot next to a large pile of bamboo and lays on his or her back. By the time they are finished, they will be covered in a pile of their own bamboo remains. Watching the pandas snack incessantly is somewhat mesmerizing.

The base also has red pandas. However, one gets the feeling that red pandas are the giant panda’s red-headed step-sister. Visitors to this section are few and the price of a picture is only Y50. The red pandas may remind Westerners of raccoons or big cats. They do have beautiful fur and are quite elegant creatures.

Entrance to the base is Y30. A  small movie theater with a free 18 minute film about breeding pandas is worth seeing. The footage of mother pandas giving birth is fascinating.

Directions: The base is about 10 kilometers outside of town. Reaching the base by bus is not very efficient. Take bus no. 10 to its terminus. At this bus station change to bus no. 1. It is much easier to take a taxi which should only cost about Y30 from the center of town. On the way back, just flag down bus no. 1. Bus no. 1 will take you to a bus station where you can either walk about 30-40 mins to reach downtown Chengdu or take another bus.

If there is really a fairyland in the world,it's must be Jiuzhaigou Valley. It's located in the Northwest of Sichuan Basin,400 kilometers away from Chengdu. It is an integration of green lakes, multi-layered waterfalls,thick forests and snow-mountains as well as peaceful Tibetan villages. The valley is home to a great variety of plants and rare animals, such as the giant panda, lesser panda, golden monkey, and antelope.
Jiuzhaigou was listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.

There are two Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center in Sichuan,one is Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center,the other one is in Bifengxia,120 km south west to Chengdu.

Bifengxia Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center is the biggest one in China. Currently,there are about 120 Giant Pandas in the center,21 of them are new born cubs this year. Unlike the Chengdu city,Bifengxia is quite cool temperature in Summer due to its high altitude, so giant panda can keep active there,as they dislike hit.

The breeding and research center is inside a nature reserve, with very pretty nature,forest and mountain,waterfall,wild lives. If you are lucky enough you may find a Giant Panda in the wild when  hiking in the nature reserve. 

There is a chinese saying: "九寨归来不看水." It means: You have no wish to visit any other lakes after viewing the Jiuzhaigou Valley. The colourful lakes and snow mountains in Jiuzhaigou make it like a fairyland in the world, espacially in autumn, the leaves change colour into yellow, orange, red...make the whole valley looks like a colourful painting!

Jiuzhaigou takes it's name from the nine tibetan villages in the valley. Jiu means nine, zhai means village, gou means valley.

As a most popular scenic spot in China, the per day visitors number was once up to 30,000 in the national day of 2013! This made a big trouble for the park at that time, so as such popular place to go in China, you'd better not to go there in chinese national holiday, otherwise you can only see people mountain and people sea(人山人海)!

And the last thing to remind you is: even the park is close at 5:30pm, but usaully the workers in the park will ask you to take the last sightseeing bus at 4:30 in the park to go down  if you are still at somewhere far from the gate , because it is really a big park, it gonna take you quite a long time to visit along the way back. So if you want to visit the whole spots in the park, better to hurry up when visiting.
