Itinerary

Dujiangyan Panda Park

4 hours Admission included

Your guide will contact you the day before to confirm the pick-up time, which is around 7:30 AM from your hotel.

Start your day early with a visit to the Dujiangyan Panda Park, where you can spend the morning observing the beautiful giant and red pandas. Since pandas are most active for just a few hours each day, it’s essential to wake up early to catch them at their liveliest. The giant panda, a symbol of national pride and one of the world’s most endangered animals, can be seen here amidst extensive conservation efforts. Spend three hours with these amazing creatures, watching them play, munch on bamboo, and climb trees in a setting that closely resembles their natural habitat.
