A conservation facility on the northern outskirts of Chengdu dedicated to the captive breeding and research of giant pandas and red pandas. The base houses several dozen giant pandas across enclosures designed around naturalistic bamboo forest habitats. Pandas are most active in the morning hours when feeding takes place, making early arrival the preferred strategy for observation and photography.
