Chengdu Panda Base - Up Close to Giant Pandas & Red Pandas in Natural Environment Near Chengdu

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, simply called Chengdu Panda Base, situated in the northeast of Chengdu suburb about 16 kilometers away, is the closest pandas base in Chengdu with 30 minutes’ drive.

Currently, Chengdu Panda Base is a great open park full of nature with the largest amount of CAPTIVE pandas in China. Till the end of 2018, there are nearly 120 giant pandas (including baby pandas) and 76 red pandas in the base, providing you a rare opportunity to feast your eyes with so many adorable “black and white animal” in one trip. Hence, Chengdu Panda Base is marked as the must-see tourist attraction when come to Chengdu, giving you experience of a lifetime!

Best Time to Visit

March to May is the “falling in love period” that the pandas are very active to play with each other, climb tree, crawl and roll on the ground outside...If you visit during autumn or winter, you may see tiny newborns in the nursery!

Try to visit in the morning when the pandas are most active. Feeding takes place around opening time around 08:00am. Pandas spend most of their afternoons sleeping especially during the height of midsummer. That’s to say, Spring, Autumn and Winter are very suitable to visit Pandas. And if you come in summer, try to see them in the early morning!

What Can You Do at Chengdu Panda Base

• Have a closer look at giant pandas at different ages from the new born to the aged by visiting several enclosures. You’ll get a very clear and vivid understanding about pandas’ life cycle.
• View the “baby pandas” being taken care in the Delivery House of Giant Pandas and be amazed how incredible the tiny creatures are as they just born at 100g, with huge weight difference with their “mom”.
• Go into Giant Panda Museum as well as Giant Panda Story Cinema to enrich your mind with more information about history, why giant pandas are endangered and how to protect them.
• Wander leisurely in the open green park full of lush vegetation and encounter with red pandas, swans, peacocks and have some fun with them.
• Take photos of giant pandas at any time, leaving the best memory in your camera and catch the time to take pictures together.

June 2020 Will Have Both A Solar And Lunar Eclipse

This year has been filled with rare astronomical events, and we are about to see a few more. This June, we will get a chance to see both a solar and lunar eclipse. The first will be the lunar eclipse, which will happen on June 5th, and after that will come the solar eclipse, which will happen on June 21st.

For those of you who don’t know, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, which totally or partly blocks out the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun’s, blocking most of the Sun’s light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus, or ring.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy), with Earth between the other two. A lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon’s proximity to either node of its orbit.

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth’s atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.

Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon’s shadow. Also unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection or special precautions, as they are dimmer than the full Moon.

With a solar eclipse, it is very important to use eye protection because staring at the sun, especially under eclipse conditions, could lead to serious eye damage. Average sunglasses will not work either, special eclipse glasses are needed to view this rare event.

The Sun Is Asleep

The Sun Is Asleep. Deep Solar Minimum Feared As 2020 Sees Record-Setting 100-Day Slump

While we on Earth suffer from coronavirus, our star the Sunis having a lockdown all of its own. Spaceweather.com reports that already there have been 100 days in 2020 when our Sun has displayed zero sunspots. 

That makes 2020 the second consecutive year of a record setting low number of sunspots which you can see (a complete absence of) here.

Note: never look at the Sun with the naked eye or through binoculars or a telescope that aren’t fitted with solar filters.

So are we in an eternal sunshine of the spotless kind?
