What To Expect
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding
When you come to Chengdu, you should definitely not miss the Panda Base. You can watch those pandas playing, eating, sleeping, getting angry or fighting. They may take the action alone, or gather together with other companions. Every move of them is so adorable that you cannot help yourself praising the cute creature. You can also learn some common knowledge about giant panda while visiting. You can watch the baby pandas in their delivery rooms, and there is also the panda museum to show you more about this Chinese national treasure. The base was constructed to simulate the original ecological surroundings for pandas’ living and breeding with an extremely high greening rate. You would feel in the wild with clear lake, streams, bamboo forests, grass lands, etc. In addition to pandas, there are also red pandas, black-necked cranes, white storks, white swans, black swans, geese, peacocks and so on, making you feel at a small funny zoo

It's worth it.

5.00It’s very efficient and avoids looking for where to buy tickets once you arrive, because there are really crowds. In addition, they answered my questions quickly.

4.00Very interesting to see panda bears and reds in semilinertad. We were unlucky and due to high temperatures they were not allowed out, so in the end it was like in a zoo.
Love the pandas!

Disappointing Experience – Poor Accessibility and Unfriendly Staff
Eric1814,,Jun 9, 2025

1.00We were really looking forward to visiting the Chengdu Panda Research Base, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip through China. While the pandas themselves were absolutely lovely and it was a joy to see them up close, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Most notably, the staff was extremely rude — the only time during our time in China that we felt genuinely unwelcome. The accessibility of the park is shockingly bad for anyone with mobility issues. Endless stairs, steep and uneven ramps, and very little thought put into accommodating less-abled visitors. Pushing a wheelchair through this park felt like an extreme sport, and there was no support or assistance available. If you’re visiting with someone who has reduced mobility, or if you expect a respectful, welcoming environment, think twice before coming here. The pandas are wonderful — but they deserve a better stage.
good experience

Confirmed tickets NOT purchased!

1.00I purchased 2 tickets for Chengdu Panda research base, Feb 12 for the morning and Feb 13 for the afternoon. I arrived at the gate to see Panda in Chengdu research base w my passport. The gate agent couldn’t find my ticket. I had to step aside from the long line. I showed my confirmed confirmation # but again couldn’t find my ticket. This time, I stayed in line and text and call the agent, no answer. Than, the gate agent called. I was delayed access by 2.5 hrs. My morning ticket was for 8am entry. I finally reached the agent at 10:30am. The gate agent informed me that ticket was purchased for yesterday afternoon not the morning of Feb 12. No refunds was given! You can buy your ticket at the GATE. Don’t use TripAdvisor for tickets which is also Viator. However, your ticket will not show up on your Viator account. I even try to view my ticket but it said send to email but it did not. I even looked at spam email. The only way to get your ticket is going to the gate w your passport. That when I found out the agent bought the ticket on the wrong date! I stood in line for hours than had to get out of line. This process took 2.5 hrs of my time without any refund. The response I received from the agent: I did buy your ticket once I spoke to the gate agent. My early morning entry of 8am didn’t happen!
Passport Rejected Upon Entry

1.00Unfortunately the my passport number was rejected at the entrance and I was unable to gain entry. I ended up purchasing another ticket for the next day through a different provider and had no issues.
Perfect for children

5.00Fantastic for young children. You can see the animals up close. The enclosures are large, and reproduce the natural environment well.
An experience e not to be missed!

5.00This was an incredible experience and got to see a couple of big pandas up close. As you probably know, it gets VERY crowded as soon as a panda is spotted. We went in October and the crowds weren’t too bad. Make sure you go early, ideally at opening time to avoid lining up. Make sure you pre book your ticket. You don’t need a tour. Don’t expect to see pandas everywhere. We only saw 2 big ones and a couple of babies. And be patient, it’s a big place and may need to walk for a while before you see one but it’s a beautiful park to walk around. Plenty of food pls es and toilets
