中华大熊猫苑都江堰基地
The base of the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center in Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan, responsible for panda rescue and disease control. Visitors can sign up to volunteer with the pandas.
The base is located in Shiqiao Village, Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan. It is managed by the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center and serves as the national center for panda rescue and disease prevention. Elderly and injured pandas are cared for here. It is also the home of the well-known “panda volunteer” program, which requires advance booking. Activities include cleaning enclosures and making wowotou (steamed cornmeal buns) for the pandas. The grounds are lush and less crowded, and visitors can get close enough to watch the pandas eat. Tickets require real-name advance booking. A taxi from Qingchengshan Station or downtown Dujiangyan takes about 15–20 minutes, and you can combine it with the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain on the same day.
