A Super Cool Guide to Entering the West Gate of Chengdu Panda Base

‍♂ Recommended Route:

West Gate of the Scenic Area, Qiyue Seven Pavilions, Xinghan Pavilion, Star Birth House (Take the sightseeing car near Star Birth House toward the South Zone), Moon Birth House, Sun Birth House, Villa No. 2, Villa No. 6, Villa No. 5, South Gate

Why strongly recommend entering from the West Gate?

1. Avoid early mornings! Enjoy watching pandas comfortably: ** No need to queue at the South Gate at 7 a.m.! Sleep until you wake up naturally and enter the park leisurely around 8:40 a.m. (just arrive at the pavilions before 9:00 a.m.). At this time, the keepers are cleaning, so you can easily find an excellent spot and wait for the panda cubs to come out after 9:00 a.m. to enjoy breakfast.

2. **Excellent experience in the West Zone: The West Zone has open spaces and fewer visitors. When watching pandas, no one crowds you, and there’s no security urging you on—allowing you to observe calmly and take photos to your heart’s content📸, with a fully immersive feeling! In contrast, in the South Zone, the pandas are scattered, trees are tall, and crowds are dense, which diminishes the overall experience.

3. **High efficiency for panda viewing:** Following this route, enter through the West Gate at 9 a.m. and exit from the South Gate around noon, easily seeing about 30 pandas!
