Chengdu research base of giant panda travel guide
introduce
There are many giant pandas in MengMeng in the base. You can watch these cute national treasures up close. The base is located in the northern suburb of Chengdu, about 10 kilometers away from the urban area. It is built to completely simulate the wild living environment of giant pandas, including lakes, streams, bamboo forests and lawns.
There are many "panda villas" in the base, which are closed leisure places for pandas. There is an open-air garden and an indoor lounge. When the weather is cool, the giant pandas will play in the garden, and visitors can watch the giant pandas in MengMeng through the railing. When the weather is hot, the giant panda hides in the air-conditioned lounge, and at this time it can only watch through the glass.
Can I see pandas in the new panda base area? Is there anything else to play?
Panda base new area can also see pandas, but also our meritorious panda, panda's home is bigger, the scope of activities is wider.
Watching pandas is the main thing, and there are many things to watch. It is our landmark building-online celebrity Panda Tower that must be punched in. As a new landmark building in Chengdu, it is located at the highest point of the base. The tower is 69.8 meters high, with 11 floors. It looks like a big bamboo shoot, while the inside is like a blooming hibiscus flower. There are 81 platforms in it, which provide visitors with a multi-angle view of the base landscape.
There is also an art museum (new museum) located in the dense forest area of the new district, which uses new exhibition methods such as multi-sensory interaction, lighting devices, interactive devices and thermal sensing to build immersive exhibition scenes for tourists.
The new area of Panda Base plans to set up various popular science exhibitions and interactive facilities in four major areas, so that visitors can learn about giant pandas and enhance the interactive experience while watching them. In festivals related to animal and environmental protection, themed popular science activities will also be held for tourists of different ages, such as interactive lectures, parent-child popular science, mystery games and other educational activities.
When you are tired of playing, you can also listen to the musical "Panda": vividly show the audience the scene of magical animals represented by giant pandas living in harmony, sharing nature and loving life in this beautiful and rich land of Chengdu, Sichuan. Through the musical form, it reflects the livable style of Chengdu, Sichuan and the simple and comfortable life scene of the local people.
In terms of total area, it has increased from 1035 mu to 3570 mu, an increase of 2.5 times. During the expansion, the original landform was fully followed and used, and 11 giant panda venues, many popular science venues and tourist pedestrian streets were built by using the multi-level landscape belt of mountain valleys formed by mountain gullies and streams. After the completion of the expansion project, it can accommodate no less than 180 giant pandas and accompanying animals such as red pandas and golden monkeys. Up to now, 67 giant pandas and 43 red pandas have moved into the "new home" in the expansion area, and there will be rare animals such as golden monkeys waiting for you in the future.
Are the supporting facilities in the new district perfect?
The new district is designed with sufficient tourist service facilities according to the standard of 5A scenic spot, which not only provides basic facilities such as sightseeing bus and tourist toilets, but also provides a large number of tourist service facilities in the hill commercial street, export commercial street and sporadic commercial bodies in each district. The planned formats include catering, souvenir sales, postal services, cinemas, theaters, extended education, etc., which can meet the needs of tourists in quantity. After nearly a year's operation, in view of the fact that the new area is large and the supporting facilities are unevenly distributed, the base has added several beverage vending machines, direct drinking fountains and shared convenience service facilities in the new area to improve the tourist experience. In the next step, the base will further supplement and improve the tourist rest facilities, consulting service facilities and tour guide facilities in order to meet the needs of tourists.
The expanded Chengdu Panda Base will help Chengdu to build a demonstration site of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, improve the conditions for the research and protection of giant pandas, protect biodiversity, fully display the brand value, cultural value and economic value of giant pandas, and shape the brand of "Tianfu Sanjiu, Comfortable and Walking to Sichuan". In 2022, the expansion area will gradually open new formats and new projects such as Panda Art Museum, IMAX Cinema, Panda Theatre, etc., to meet the needs of tourists to eat, drink, play and buy entertainment while watching giant pandas.
First, it is more conducive to panda research and protection. As a national protected animal, the giant panda is docile, restrained and funny, and is deeply loved by the people. However, with the continuous growth of the number of giant pandas, the problems such as high population density and inadequate animal welfare in the management of giant pandas in the old base area are becoming increasingly obvious. The completion and commissioning of the new panda base area can effectively solve the above problems, comprehensively improve the scientific research and protection level of giant pandas in the panda base, and effectively guarantee the animal welfare in the park.
Second, it is more conducive to improving people's sense of happiness. As Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, the main social contradiction has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. At present, tourism has become a rigid demand for a better life in a well-off society and is widely favored by the people. The construction of the new base area conforms to the new trend of the transformation and upgrading of people's tourism consumption, which will effectively meet the high-quality and diversified needs of people's tourism consumption and enhance people's sense of happiness and acquisition.
Third, it is more conducive to creating a panda-specific IP and helping to build a park city demonstration zone. Since its establishment in 1987, the old base area has made recognized achievements at home and abroad in the research and protection of giant pandas, popular science education, cultural tourism and international exchanges. The demonstration unit for ex-situ conservation of giant pandas, which is considered by domestic and foreign grandfathers to have strong scientific and technological strength, many scientific and technological achievements and effective application and promotion, has been awarded the title of "National Advanced Collective for Popular Science Work", "National Youth Science and Technology Education Base", "National Environmental Science Popularization Base" and "Cross-Strait Exchange and Cooperation Base" successively. The construction of the new base area will effectively enhance China's tourism brand image, build a panda-featured IP with international recognition, and help Chengdu to accelerate the construction of a world-famous cultural city and practice the new development concept as a park city demonstration area.
