Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base Billet

When inside, jump straight on the shuttle and head to the yellow zone in the NE. Then start viewing from the top end downwards. Less people and more Panda viewing opportunities.

Who does not want to see cute, cuddly, and slightly silly pandas? Arrive early in the morning, when the pandas are at their most active. Make sure you use the internal bus service and visit all parts of the park. The research base is much larger than it first appears, with plenty to see beyond the main panda enclosures. Do not make the mistake of staying near the entrance and missing half of what the park has to offer.

Beautiful experience. The park is very well cared for, the giant pandas and red pandas are very sweet and you can see them up close really

It’s very efficient and avoids looking for where to buy tickets once you arrive, because there are really crowds. In addition, they answered my questions quickly.

Very interesting to see panda bears and reds in semilinertad. We were unlucky and due to high temperatures they were not allowed out, so in the end it was like in a zoo.

Such a fun spot! We highly recommend to any tourists visiting Chengdu. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, and the pandas are adorable. It was very easy to get the tickets through this service. Thank you!

We were really looking forward to visiting the Chengdu Panda Research Base, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip through China. While the pandas themselves were absolutely lovely and it was a joy to see them up close, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Most notably, the staff was extremely rude — the only time during our time in China that we felt genuinely unwelcome. The accessibility of the park is shockingly bad for anyone with mobility issues. Endless stairs, steep and uneven ramps, and very little thought put into accommodating less-abled visitors. Pushing a wheelchair through this park felt like an extreme sport, and there was no support or assistance available. If you’re visiting with someone who has reduced mobility, or if you expect a respectful, welcoming environment, think twice before coming here. The pandas are wonderful — but they deserve a better stage.

Very convenient as we did not have to queue to buy tickets. It says ticket should be bought online but walk ins were allowed.

I purchased 2 tickets for Chengdu Panda research base, Feb 12 for the morning and Feb 13 for the afternoon. I arrived at the gate to see Panda in Chengdu research base w my passport. The gate agent couldn’t find my ticket. I had to step aside from the long line. I showed my confirmed confirmation # but again couldn’t find my ticket. This time, I stayed in line and text and call the agent, no answer. Than, the gate agent called. I was delayed access by 2.5 hrs. My morning ticket was for 8am entry. I finally reached the agent at 10:30am. The gate agent informed me that ticket was purchased for yesterday afternoon not the morning of Feb 12. No refunds was given! You can buy your ticket at the GATE. Don’t use TripAdvisor for tickets which is also Viator. However, your ticket will not show up on your Viator account. I even try to view my ticket but it said send to email but it did not. I even looked at spam email. The only way to get your ticket is going to the gate w your passport. That when I found out the agent bought the ticket on the wrong date! I stood in line for hours than had to get out of line. This process took 2.5 hrs of my time without any refund. The response I received from the agent: I did buy your ticket once I spoke to the gate agent. My early morning entry of 8am didn’t happen!

Unfortunately the my passport number was rejected at the entrance and I was unable to gain entry. I ended up purchasing another ticket for the next day through a different provider and had no issues.
