Bifengxia Panda Base Holidays

Bifengxia is under the jurisdiction of Ya’an City in southwest China’s Sichuan Province and is 148 km from Chengdu, the provincial capital. It is the branch of Wolong Panda Research Center, with total of 28 captive pandas and 20 panda Enclosures. Due to the affects of earthquake took on 21 May in Wenchuan, many pandas will be moved to Bifengxia from Wolong, so another 10 panda enclosures have been built.

The new home for giant pandas is located in the ravine of Bifengxia (Green Peak Canyon), at 1,100 to 1,200 meters above sea level. In the dense broadleaf forest with singing birds and murmuring streams stands a big gate with the image of a lovely giant panda carved on it, marking the entrance to the Bifengxia Giant Panda Base.

It is planned that in five to seven years, the base will have an additional 40 giant pandas moved in, making it one of the largest giant panda reserves. Also planned is a wilderness-releasing experiment area and an ecological living area, which will be developed in the near future.
