What is the best time to visit Chengdu Giant Panda Base? Are there any things to note?

The best visiting time is from 7:30 AM (after opening) to 11:00 AM, when giant pandas are most active—they tend to rest more in the afternoon. It is recommended to allow 3-4 hours and avoid the midday heat. Notes: Take Metro Line 3 directly to Xiongmao Dadao Station; wear comfortable shoes as the park involves long walking routes; do not feed, make noise, or use flash photography, and maintain a safe distance of at least 10 meters; the cub area may have capacity restrictions, so check the park’s opening announcements in advance, and you can bring your own water bottle to refill with direct drinking water available in the park.
