Dujiangyan base of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center

Dujiangyan base of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center (also known as "panda paradise" and "Dujiangyan China Giant Panda Garden") is built with the assistance of the government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is located at Huaizhong Road, Shiqiao village, Qingchengshan Town, 18 km away from the urban area. It is adjacent to the Taoist Holy Land Qingchengshan in the north and Jiezi ancient town in the west of Sichuan in the south. Provincial highway S106 (West Sichuan Tourism Ring Line) connects it. It is close to the giant panda habitat world heritage area, and has a climate and natural environment suitable for giant pandas.

Background of base construction

During the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, the giant panda enclosure, scientific research facilities and equipment of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center (hereinafter referred to as "Research Center") were seriously damaged. In order to do a good job in the scientific research of giant panda protection, ensure the health of the core population of captive giant pandas, promote the development of remote protection of giant pandas, meet the needs of scientific response to emergencies, and strengthen the rescue level and ability of wild giant pandas, the State Forestry Administration decided on October 10, 2008 to select a new professional organization for giant panda rescue and disease prevention and control. On June 19, 2009, Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved the construction of Dujiangyan giant panda rescue and disease prevention and control center (now known as Dujiangyan base of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center) in Shiqiao village, Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan City, and included it into the scope of the construction funded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. With the great attention and strong support of the State Forestry Administration and Sichuan provincial governments at all levels, Dujiangyan base project was completed in December 2013 with the joint efforts of all parties.

Introduction to Panda Park

Dujiangyan base of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center (also known as "panda paradise" and "Dujiangyan China Giant Panda Garden") is located in Huaizhong Road, Shiqiao village, Qingchengshan Town, 18 km away from the urban area. It is adjacent to Qingchengshan, the holy land of Taoism in the north, Jiezi ancient town in the west of Sichuan in the south, and the provincial highway S106 (West Sichuan Tourism Ring Line) connects with it. It is close to the giant panda habitat world heritage area, and has a climate and natural environment suitable for giant pandas.

The base covers an area of 760 mu. The building area is about 12542 square meters. The total investment of the project is 230 million yuan. The base is the only scientific research institution focusing on disease prevention and control and field rescue of giant pandas in China. In the park, there are bamboo forests, green trees, verdant bamboos, the smell of birds and flowers, fresh air, plus patches of lawns and winding footpaths, which make you feel refreshed. The green three-star building (awarded the "three-star green building identification certificate" by the housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau of the people's Republic of China on January 28, 2015) is cleverly integrated with the natural environment, creating a good living environment for the giant panda.

And Ya'an Bifengxia base jointly build three demonstration platforms for ex situ and in situ conservation of giant pandas, and effectively coordinate the relationship between ecological protection and social and economic development on the basis of giving full play to the characteristic resources and international brands of giant pandas. The establishment of the pattern of "one center and three bases" will significantly promote the long-term protection of giant panda, an endangered species, and the development of ecological economy.

Environmental supporting facilities

According to different functions, the panda park is mainly divided into six areas: disease prevention and control research area, quarantine isolation area, rehabilitation training area, public education area, natural landscape area and office area. The rehabilitation training area, public education area and natural landscape area will be fully open to the public.

1. Giant panda breeding workstation: 5.

Panpan garden, Shuangnan garden, diequan garden, Linze garden, guardianship and quarantine area. Among them, Shuangnan Park, diequan Park, Linze Park and Panpan park can be opened to the public. There are 40 sets of giant panda animal houses in 5 workstations, which can accommodate at least 40 giant pandas. The accompanying animals of giant pandas in Linze Park of the base include 7 red pandas, 2 black bears, 35 pheasants such as red bellied pheasant, white pheasant and ring necked pheasant, which can be watched by tourists.

International cooperation and exchange

Since its establishment, the Dujiangyan base of China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center has successfully completed the construction of German President Frank Walter Steinmeier, Dutch King William Alexander, Austrian president van der Baeren, Prime Minister Kurtz, former President Karzai of Afghanistan, Ms. Lin zhengyue'e, Chief Secretary of administration of Hong Kong, Belgian ambassador to China Ma Huaiyu and Malaysian natural resources research center And vice minister of the environment Sri James, Dafu, State Secretary of the Ministry of environment and green development of Mongolia bartbalde, yasme and other dignitaries. Famous film and television stars Guo Fucheng, Carina Lau and Maggie Cheung also came to visit the base, which enhanced the popularity and attention of the base at home and abroad.

At present, the research center has established scientific research cooperation with 11 zoos in 9 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Austria, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Belgium.

In 2014, when President Xi Jinping visited South Korea, in order to deepen bilateral friendship and strategic cooperation, the Chinese government decided to cooperate with South Korea in developing giant panda research. The research center will choose a pair of giant pandas to send to Dujiangyan from the base of China. The agreement will significantly promote the visibility and influence of Dujiangyan's surrounding scenic spots in the world. Dujiangyan base serves as the external exchange platform of the research center. Since its completion, two pairs of giant pandas, "Xinghui", "Haohao", "Fuwa" and "Fengyi" have gone to Belgium paradise zoo and Malaysia National Zoo to carry out international cooperation and exchange. Yunzi, who was born in San Diego Zoo in the United States, also came back here, forming the world's largest returnee giant panda population with Taishan, Meisheng and other returnees.
