In Chengdu, giant pandas are primarily kept at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which is located approximately 10 kilometers northeast of the city center and serves as the city's premier destination for seeing these animals in a semi-natural environment. This world-renowned facility features specialized enclosures for pandas of all ages, including nurseries for cubs and habitats for red pandas, focusing on conservation and research. Beyond the main base, pandas are also housed at several other specialized facilities in the surrounding area, such as the Dujiangyan Panda Base, which emphasizes rescue and rehabilitation, and the broader region includes the Wolong National Nature Reserve and the Bifengxia Panda Base. While the Chengdu Zoo also houses pandas, the Research Base is the most popular choice for visitors due to its extensive facilities and the high number of pandas resident there.
