Sometimes there are problems for foreigners to travel on this road so a review would probably be helpful for others.

China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda

Reviewed By LaurensS_13 - Oslo, Norway

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!

Panda Valley

Reviewed By amitavamichaelk - Lake Stevens, United States

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!
