Bifengxia Panda Base

Located just a short drive from the city of Ya’an, the Bifengxia Panda Base is widely considered the best of Sichuan’s panda bases to visit for those wanting to view these animals in a natural setting. The pandas here enjoy naturalistic enclosures placed against a tranquil temperate environment. It is not uncommon to spot some of the base’s resident pandas hanging from the branches of the parks' many trees. Located near the Bifengxia Panda Base, the scenic area at the Bifengxia Gorge is a breathtaking natural setting featuring panoramic views of the rugged temperate forests of central Sichuan.
