Dujiangyan Panda Holding: Hold Panda at Dujiangyan Panda Base

Holding an adorable panda in your arms, of course, will be a lifetime fantastic experience!

Join in the panda volunteer program, and then you will have a sweet date with pandas sitting in front of you and grabbing carrots out of your hands! Such an up-close visit will be guided and accompanied by real panda keepers and won’t take any bad influence on these cuddly creatures!
