Really enjoyed the walk around the park (there is a car-train that can drive you around if you are less mobile). Several nice enclosures with pandas of varying age groups. Didn’t see any really small babies though. They also have some red pandas and even a black bear. Worth a visit!

We came by taxi from the Qingcheng Mountain Base to the Main Entrance (40 RMB). At the entrance is a special desk for foreigners with a English speaking person. We enjoyed the walk on the hanging bridge over the Feishayan Spillway, where during the flooding season the stone and sand will be deposited. We followed the Eastern Road on the Fish, the divider of the inner and outer River. We reached a food area, where we enjoyed local dishes with a Harbin Beer. Further up the island you reach the Yuzui Water dividing Dike. The inner River will bring the water to the Chengdu plain for irrigation, and the outer river will bring away the additional flood water in rainy saison, avoiding the flooding of the Chengdu area for over 2000 years! Over the Anlan Suspension Bridge we reached the path to the Julei Pass, where you have a good view over the whole Dujiangyan Scenic Area. On the way down you reach the Shidian Temple and the antique town. Walking down the main street with many shops and food outlets, you reach the ancient Gate. Walk through the gate, cross the bridge ahead and turn right into the open park. Cross the park and turn right on the street ahead. After crossing the bride you see on the right hand side a glas covered stairway, leading down to the Lidui Park Station, where you can take the High Speed Train back to Chengdu (20 RMB). Calculate 3 hours or more for an enjoyable excursion within the Lidui Park.

Lily Chen from WestChinaGo was very accommodative and customised my trip to the Panda base , according to my travel needs. She is super patient, has good command of English and gives sound advice on my trip. She also assigned a good English speaking guide Shelley who went over and beyond by helping us change our train tickets timing. Me and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the “volunteering” activity at the Panda base , where we had a chance to clean the Panda enclosure and feed bamboo snack to the Panda (within 0.5m). It was an awesome experience!

This is the third Panda facility that my wife and I visited, and I was so impressed by this facility, particularly the size and habitat for each Panda, as well as the signage, amenities, cleanliness, and organization of this Location, that it quickly has become our favorite panda bear conservation center in all of the world! We just came from war long yesterday, and compared to that facility, the habitat enclosures here are far more conducive to a stress feet free environment for the panda bears – additionally, behind the compound or wild training areas to prepare pandas for a release back into the wilderness, and this location was right on the edge of a mountain range that seem to be perfect for Wild pandas – in fact, the red panda habitat near the top of this compound had free roaming red pandas that kept moving back-and-forth between the mountain and the facility. Most importantly, this facility was tranquil, incredibly clean (including the bathrooms which were as good as any airport lounges bathrooms), and signage here, along with the environment for tourists, was impeccable; the best I’ve seen probably anywhere east of Germany! The only negative aspect had nothing to do with the facility... even though there were so many signs requesting people to be silent, even during the shoulder season, many local Chinese visitors here raise their voices and even shouted very loudly: unbelievable, because you’d think that they would have more respect for their own wildlife, in a tranquil place like this. With the amount of respect for the pandas by the staff here, I am sure that this facility does incredible rehabilitation and release work to rebuild the wild panda population in China – this is definitely the first place anybody visiting this region should come and see, if you’re interested in panda bear conservation!
