The official webpage of Bifengxia is in Chinese version. The following introduction of Bifengxia Panda Reserve is for your reference.
Ya'an Bifengxia Panda Base is located in Bifengxia Town, Ya'an City of southwest Sichuan Province. It's a giant panda’s paradise with well captive raising, reproduction, rare wild animal rescuing and education facilities. Bifengxia base was opened in 2003 as the part of the world's largest Giant
Panda Migration. It is the biggest artificial migration of captive-bred giant panda ever seen.
The new accomplished reserve base is located in altitude of 1100 meters to 1800 meters (3608 feet to 5906 feet). In the base, there are over 20 spots, such as breeding, research centre and special kindergarten, hotel for panda. There 6 kinds of bamboo as panda’s favorite food are supplied.
Pandas will be returned to nature after they have been given relevant training in simulated wild environments. At up to 1200 meters (3937 feet) above sea level, Bifengxia is under the jurisdiction of Ya'an City. In the dense broadleaf forest with singing birds and murmuring streams stands a big gate with the image of a lovely giant panda carved on it, marking the entrance to Bifengxia Giant Panda Base. Walking through the gate and along the meandering mountain slope for a while, visitors can see several European-style cabins made of bricks and tiles. These are the pandas' homes.
More than 20 spots have been set aside for panda-related activities and scientific experiments. There are dedicated grazing grounds, "kindergartens" for young pandas and even a panda hospital and research institute. Several different varieties of bamboo have been planted in the base either
by the water or on the slopes. The new home for giant pandas appears like a park with a natural environment.
