Chongqing Zoo

Panda Playdate at Chongqing Zoo 🐼🦊 Step into a wildlife wonderland at Chongqing Zoo, where the star attractions are iconic giant pandas and the irresistibly adorable red pandas—seriously, their playful antics are guaranteed to melt your heart! Start your journey early to catch the animals during their most active hours (plus, you’ll beat the larger afternoon crowds). Head straight to the panda enclosure—both the giant and red pandas are housed close by, so you won’t miss a moment of their munching and tumbling. After snapping must-have photos of the red pandas (try for that classic “peek through the branches” shot—they’re especially photogenic in the morning), circle over to Monkey Hill for cheeky close-ups, and then stroll through the bird garden for pops of vibrant color. Insider tip: Red pandas really are the cutest—watch them around snack time when they’re most energetic. And if you’re visiting between October and December, enjoy extended opening hours (08:00-18:00). Bring comfortable walking shoes and a small umbrella, as Chongqing weather can be unpredictable. Always respect animal habitats and avoid flash photography for happier, stress-free critters. Admission is budget-friendly (25 RMB), perfect for a half-day adventure with family or friends. The zoo is easy to reach, located at No. 1 West Village, Jiulongpo District (near Xijiao Branch Road). #Chongqing #ZooAdventure #RedPandaLove #PandaSpotting #FamilyTrip
