Wolong Panda Base

In this day, we will depart from Chengdu to Wolong Panda Research Center. Your guide will pick you up early in the morning in the hotel in Chengdu and drive for 110 kilometers away (about 2 hours' driving from Chengdu).

Upon arrival of Shenshuping Panda Base in Wolong Panda Reserve, we will firstly get gears and register for panda care. Then, led by professional panda keeper, you will enter the panda rooms and clean the leftovers of bamboo and remove panda dung, and wash the panda house. In the meantime, you will learn much knowledge of panda care and panda behavior, and their natural habitat.

Then, the staff will take you to visit the giant panda gardens to closely observe adorable pandas. From 11:00-12:00, you will be able to feed pandas with fresh bamboo, carrot, or panda cake.

During the noon, you can take a break and have lunch while conversing with the permanent employees. If you still have time, you can explore the base, talk with the employees, or even meet some cute pandas. From 1:00-2:00pm, you will go to the Panda Cinema to watch a short documentary to acquire more knowledge about pandas.

In the afternoon, you will clean the panda living areas and feed them again. You’ll also get the chance to learn how to make steamed corn bread, and later feed pandas with them. After all the activities are over, you can plant some bamboo trees, get your certificates as well as some souvenirs to wrap your day.
