What To Expect
Dujiangyan Panda Park
Your guide will contact you the day before to confirm the pick-up time, which is around 7:30 AM from your hotel. Start your day early with a visit to the Dujiangyan Panda Park, where you can spend the morning observing the beautiful giant and red pandas. Since pandas are most active for just a few hours each day, it’s essential to wake up early to catch them at their liveliest. The giant panda, a symbol of national pride and one of the world’s most endangered animals, can be seen here amidst extensive conservation efforts. Spend three hours with these amazing creatures, watching them play, munch on bamboo, and climb trees in a setting that closely resembles their natural habitat.
Dujiangyan Panda Base
After lunch, visit the Red Panda Habitat for an unforgettable encounter. Step right into their living area and experience these adorable creatures up close. You’ll have the chance to hand-feed them a couple of apple sticks, take photos together, and observe their playful behaviors right before your eyes. Spend some time watching the red pandas climb, explore, and interact with each other in their beautifully designed, natural-style environment. During the visit, you’ll also learn about their habits, diet, and conservation efforts — a wonderful opportunity to connect with these lesser-known yet equally captivating animals.

Once in a lifetime experience for red panda lovers

5.00If you love red pandas (and giant pandas) this tour is a must. Pick-up at our hotel went smoothly and our guide Jason and our driver welcomed us in a very comfortable car and already shared a lot of interesting information with us. The first stop at the giant panda base was a great start. It wasn‘t very crowded despite being Saturday and the arrival time was ideal to see the pandas in action. Jason also chose a fantastic local lunch spot for us! In the afternoon, we went to the red panda base which was a once in a lifetime experience. You can watch them up close, walk through their forest habitat and later even feed them with some apples and take pictures with them. Amazing! We were pretty much alone at the base which made it even more special. You will not regret booking this tour with Jason & team! Thank you again for everything! 🐼
Perfect day

5.00It has been an amazing day of visiting the Pandas in a less crowded base with the ability of enjoying in relax. After an amazing lunch with typical local cuisine, the highlight of the trip: The red panda base. Never seen so many red pandas in a beautiful park resembling their habitat and also we got up and close with them (even climbing on my lap) The guides have been great also adding a Quick coffee stop to a local place along the road. All in all a great experience and looking forward doing it again!
