A trip to pandas - My tour guide was Claire, it was easy and nice to talk with her, she told me a lot about plans in the centre and we saw a lot of pandas: they were mostly sitting and eating bamboo, but there were also very active and funny young pandas. Pandas are very cute!

Recommended - The Giant Pandas and the Red Pandas have an insane attraction. Even if the Giant Pandas are in many smaller enclosures and the Red Pandas in large enclosures, you have a wonderful opportunity to admire these endangered animals. We took a hell of a lot of pictures. Definitely worth it, even if you are not alone - as with all tourist attractions in China. It is advisable to come very early when the station opens. A few hours is enough so you can spend the afternoon in Chengdu

Chengdu Panda centre - Excellent value for a half day tour. The centre was packed with both Red and Giant Pandas. My guide Wu was excellent and was also very interesting to have conversations with.

Great day with the Pandas. - Libby was a great guide. Very professional, knowledgable and friendly. We saw many Pandas up close and she moved us through the crowds very well. The car service to and from the facility was excellent. Can recommend.

An incredible experience... - An incredible experience to see pandas up close, such a rare and special sight! However, it was extremely crowded and hard to see much at times, so that did affect the experience. Still absolutely worth visiting.

Disappointed and found challenging. - No communication from the attendants. Unable to understand the tour as it was not offered in English. Chinese only. Wasn’t made aware of extra charges for bus inside the place.
