Additional Information
If you’re interested in a unique experience with pandas, the Dujiangyan Panda Base is certainly worth a trip. Positioned in a serene valley with the ethos of ‘recreating the free environment that pandas once enjoyed’, this base houses notably healthier and active pandas compared to those in zoos. Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute as keepers by preparing food and maintaining their living spaces. This opportunity provides a closer look at their everyday behaviors and physical characteristics. Apart from the giant pandas, the base also hosts red pandas and many other charming creatures.
