Giant Pandas living in captivity in Chengdu have been enjoying air-conditioning since the year went into deep summer with rising temperatures.

Pandas prefer cool whether to warm weather as they have thick skin — with the average thickness of 5 mm and the extreme thickness of 10 mm, so they like other seasons rather than summer.

So it is important for people planning a panda visit to choose the right time phases in which pandas are more active in the day. To see the pandas, the best periods are 09:00-11:30 and 14:30-17:00, but we recommend you do it in the morning.

1. Keep quiet, do not try to feed the pandas or use flash when taking pictures.
2. You may be unlucky and fail to see the pandas in outdoor spaces, since they are moved indoor to keep cool.
3. Contrast weather conditions alternate quickly in summer, so you'd better keep track of the weather forecast and take measures against rains and strong sunlight.
The best sites to see pandas in Chengdu are Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding (Panda Base) in suburban Chengdu and the Panda Valley in Dujiangyan City in northern Chengdu. Click the links below for guidance on ticketing and traffic.
