When it comes to animals in China, one iconic creature springs to mind: the black and white giant panda. This national animal is (extreme) rare and protected by the Chinese government. In the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, also (call) Chengdu Panda Base, you'll be able to see these soft, clumsy (笨拙的) creatures carefully protected.
Chengdu Panda Base (consider) an important institution for panda research nowadays. Built in 1987 to care for rescued wild pandas, the open-air reserve is one of China's most popular (destination). It is remarkably successful at introducing new pandas into wild populations and mainly focuses the conservation of pandas.
Try to visit in the morning the pandas are most active. Feeding takes place around opening time at 8 am, although you'll see them eating in the late afternoon, too. Pandas spend most of their afternoons (sleep), particularly during the height of midsummer.
As well as living, breathing pandas, there are some (amaze) panda information centers and museums explaining how to protect pandas from (extinct). A visit to the base is a perfect learning opportunity for adults and children alike to get closer to lovely creature.
