I have never been to the Giant Panda Base in Chengdu, but the Panda Valley is really worth a visit. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to see the red pandas this time. To see the giant pandas up close, try to visit early.
The environment and location are good, it is more suitable for taking children to play. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, it is not particularly crowded. After all, everyone goes to see the flowers. It is recommended to travel
This place is in the Dujiangyan area. There are few people, and there is no need to queue up to see the pandas. There are not too many buses here. The air is very good.
Compared with the Chengdu Panda Base, the number is smaller, but there are fewer people. You can look however you want, take however you want, and watch as long as you want. Unlike Chengdu, there are only crowds of people. Once you finally get close, you will be squeezed out again.
Pandas lie down when they are full. How many people envy their lives. But there are also lazy ones who eat while lying down.
It is said that there are some younger pandas here, it might be like a training base!
The environment of the panda breeding base is really great!
There weren't many tourists inside and it was very quiet. At one point we thought we wouldn't be able to see any pandas!
After walking for a while, I saw a panda climbing a tree. To be honest, it was the first time I saw a panda climbing a tree. Although it looks chubby, it is very flexible when climbing trees! The pandas here are very close to people, but it doesn’t feel dangerous at all. It’s very good to bring children here, so they can get close to the giant pandas!
The giant pandas we usually see in zoos are all lazy, either sleeping or lying down. The giant pandas here are very lively and energetic!
After a while, it was time to eat. The keeper poured the prepared bamboo in a place and opened the door to let the baby panda come for his meal. The big panda came in, leaned against the stone, and started to eat leisurely. It was so cute to see the panda eating bamboo. He peeled the skin while eating with skillful movements. Before he finished eating with his left hand, he grabbed another handful with his right hand. It was so funny!
After seeing so many pandas, I really feel that the price of the ticket is worth it. It is definitely more interesting than what you usually see in the panda houses in other zoos. I finally understand why pandas have become national treasures. Their silly looks are just too adorable, so cute!
In general, there are not many tourists in this Panda Valley, just a few here and there, and there are also many foreign tourists. There are a lot of tourists in the Chengdu Giant Panda Base, basically there are more people than pandas. However, there are no red pandas here, only giant pandas. If you have the opportunity to come to Dujiangyan, you can stop by and take a look, they are very close!
Not much different from panda houses in most city parks, the area available to visitors is small.
Very interesting place. I like instant noodles more than pandas.
The Panda Valley is full of bamboos and winding paths. The key is that there are few people! When we were talking about pandas, we suddenly saw a staff member in front of us making a silent gesture to us and then pointed at us. It turned out that they were afraid that we would disturb the pandas' sweet dreams. They can sleep in the rain. I admire them!
Panda Valley is located in Dujiangyan. Compared with the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base, it feels closer to nature.
I went there on May Day 2018, in the morning. There weren't many people there. There were forests and big trees inside, and the air was very good, nothing to complain about. But I don't recommend going there to see pandas. There were only a few pandas to see inside, which was too few. I finished the tour in half an hour. The ticket cost 58, which was a bit expensive. If you want to see pandas, you should go to the panda base.
The tour guide from Tianya Outdoor Travel Agency told us that Panda Valley is located in Dujiangyan. Compared with the Giant Panda Breeding Base in Chengdu, fewer people come here to visit, and the distance to see the giant pandas feels closer. But the scenic area seems to have not been fully developed (I went there in early 2015 and only the first phase was developed. At that time, I booked tickets online and it was free). The area was small at that time, and it took almost an hour to see it all. If you happen to plan to visit other scenic spots in Dujiangyan, you can stop by Panda Valley to see the pandas.
There are not many pandas and few tourists, so you can watch them quietly.

As the hometown of giant pandas, there are many tourists who love the national treasure and it is a paradise for children in particular.
It is the Dujiangyan Panda Base. The pandas here are very old. Not bad

But the scenic area seems to have not been fully developed (I went there in early 2015 and only the first phase was developed. At that time, I still booked tickets online and it was free). The area was small at that time, and it took almost an hour to see it all. If you happen to plan to visit other scenic spots in Dujiangyan, you can stop by Panda Valley to see the pandas.
It has not been fully developed yet. The scenic area is large, the air is very good, and the pandas are super cute.
Panda Valley is a base for the wild training and research of artificially bred pandas. There are about ten cats in the valley, and the living space is much larger than that of the cats in the zoo and Chengdu Panda Breeding Base, which simulates the wild environment. You can visit it.
Seeing pandas is a feature of Chengdu! Pandas are so cute! But it’s really good to choose the right season to see them! In the summer, they are basically sleeping! We are scorching hot outside, while they are sleeping in the air-conditioned room! In the winter, we are freezing cold, while they are playing outside! It’s really hard to figure it out! The tickets are not expensive, and you can buy a bus ticket to go up the mountain, which saves a lot of time.
No one doesn't like the national treasure, especially the silly appearance and lazy heart. I really want to hug it.
Tickets cost 116 for two people, all to satisfy my daughter's curiosity to see pandas. I admire the security guards and cleaners inside, who can actually tell which is which and even tell the names, even though all pandas look the same, right?
There are very few people, so you can watch the pandas quietly. It was built a few years ago, so it is relatively small and there are relatively few pandas, but the ticket price is the same as that of the Chengdu Breeding Center.
If you have enough time, you can come to Panda Valley. Because it was built a short time ago, many things have not been developed yet, there are relatively few pandas, and transportation is inconvenient. The advantage is that it is quiet! There are few people!! It is suitable for watching them quietly~
Convenient transportation, but limited flow of people, need to make an online reservation and buy tickets in good faith. It started to receive tourists in October 2014. Be careful not to disturb the normal life of the pandas.
Stop 149: Panda Valley in Dujiangyan. AAAA, 48 tickets, no inspection required. There are not many people on weekends, which is better than the Chengdu Giant Panda Base. But the Changyang area is not open yet, so you can only see three pavilions. Today, I saw pandas fighting, which made my sister very excited. The air here is fresh and the trees are lush. It must be a good place to escape the heat in summer, but there is no food or drink, so you can bring some with you.
