the Chengdu research base of giant panda breeding is the place to go. It’s not too far and cheap to get there.
Yeah seeing the pandas is totally worth it, especially the baby ones. Cutest things ever! However, one thing that I noticed when I went there several years back, and many friends have seen the same thing since, is that the animal keepers will secretly let you pet a brown panda if you pay them enough money. I found it really disheartening how these workers, who are supposed to love and care for the animals, will compromise their wellbeing for the sake of a few bucks. The pandas clearly looked distressed so please if you see this happening when you go there, try to report it to someone. Anyway, here's more practical info if you want to go:
1375 Xiongmao Dadao,Chengdu
成都外北熊猫大道1375号
Open: 7:30 – 18:00
Tel: 028 8728 8159
Entrance fee: 30 RMB
Website: www.panda.org.cn
You should definitely come to Chengdu and see the pandas... It's a must-see!
