Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

#chinatrip Remember to purchase tickets online in advance! There are no tickets for sale on site. We visited the research base in the afternoon and realised that the pandas will return to their resting areas at 430pm. Therefore, it was quite rushed for us. I would strongly recommend visiting early in the morning. Another tip is, just get on the tram and visit all key places first before thinking to walk the trails. The place is massive! There's a stop at the tower and it's only for photography, there's no panda there. I would also suggest families with babies not not bring strollers, a carrier is more recommended. Too many stairs, escalators as the lifts are not that convenient. Overall, I will visit again and plan my journey in advance before visiting.
