We have been admiring it for a long time to eat and drink well - "Panda Valley" in Foping, deep in the Qinling Mountains

From Xi'an to Hanzhong, take National Highway 108 to cross the Qinling Mountains. On the way, you pass through Foping County, Hanzhong City, the country's least populated county at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains (this is also the area with the highest density of wild giant pandas, and there are rare Qinling subspecies of giant pandas here) , caught a glimpse of the big signboard of "Panda Valley", and was pleasantly surprised to visit inside. The people who received me were giant pandas "Hengheng" and "Qiangsheng". The two national treasures were unmoved and indifferent to my visit. They were doing whatever they were supposed to do. I didn't take it seriously, but I was still frightened: I was very clear about the huge status gap between myself and them, and I didn't dare to think anything wrong. However, the two national treasures do not have any bad intentions, they are just not good at words. They candidly showed me their philosopher-like thinking and performed their daddy-pulling skills without any hesitation. It really opened my eyes and made me enjoy it! This chance encounter was brief but pleasant. I hope the two national treasures can continue to maintain a happy and worry-free attitude towards life without ambitions. After all, the country has set up such a large garden in the Qinling Mountains with such a beautiful environment, and has dedicated people to take care of it, so there is nothing to worry about. It is said that there are often activities of Qinling Golden Monkeys near the Panda House, but this family has no fixed location and no fixed schedule, so we never had the chance to meet them during this trip. In addition to watching pandas and golden monkeys, there are many parent-child activity venues in the park, making it a good place for family outings. The Qinling Mountains is a model area for biodiversity. There are many rare plants in the park, making it a good place to increase relevant knowledge. [Transportation Route] It is 20 kilometers away from Foping County and 160 kilometers away from Hanzhong City. It is directly connected by National Highway 108 and there is no railway, so there is no other way than self-driving. There is a parking lot at the entrance of Panda Valley, so there is no need to worry about parking. [Opening hours] 8:30-17:30 every day. [Tickets] Adult/Student/Children/: 45/25/25. [Notes] Refer to Figure 2 for the park tour route. It takes about an hour and a half from the entrance to the Panda House. It takes about an hour and a half to go up the stream along the steps. Although it is not steep, it requires a certain amount of physical strength. Fortunately, deep in the Qinling Mountains, the air is fresh, the water is clear, and the trees are lush. Mountain climbing is also extremely enjoyable. If you really don’t want to walk, you can take a battery car in the park. Be careful about mosquitoes during the warmer seasons.
