[chengdupanda]

Dujiangyan Panda Valley located 65 kilometers from Chengdu, Panda Valley is in the Baima Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City. It is an excellent place to see fully grown pandas as well as the adorable, more active juveniles. The whole valley covers an area of 1.34 square kilometers. This valley is organised in such a way that that giant pandas are encouraged to return to the wild. Visitors can have close contact with the lovely animals by being photographed while holding one and also by volunteering to care for them.

In the valley, the giant pandas are gradually reintroduced to the wild. During the semi-original wildness transition experiment, they temporarily live in dens that look like blockhouses. They will continue receiving training to complete this transitional stage until the researchers confirm they have the ability to return to the wild.
