Surrounded by lush bamboo forests and streams, more than 200 giant pandas in a semi-wild environment show their cute behaviors such as chewing bamboo, climbing trees, and playing, providing tourists with a precious opportunity to observe the daily life of the "national treasure" up close. The base is divided into different areas such as the baby panda villa and the adult panda activity area. You can see the cute baby cubs in the incubator and the vigorous posture of adult giant pandas climbing trees. Dujiangyan Panda Valley and other surrounding attractions present a leisurely scene of giant pandas walking in the mountains and forests with an ecological environment closer to the wild.
