Chengdu Panda Tour|Travel GuideAs China’s National Treasure, the giant panda is one of the rarest animals in the world. The total number
is estimated to be 1,500, including those living in the wild, 80% of which are in Sichuan Province.A
breeding center for giant pandas was founded in the north suburbs of Chengdu.
It is the only one of its kind in the world that’s located in a metropolitan area. In order to better
protect wild giant pandas, Chengdu has established nature reserves in Dujiangyan City, Chongzhou
City, and Dayi County. Sichuan Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve,
the biggest of its kind in the world, is only 130 kilometers outside Chengdu.The western world came
to know giant pandas only after a French missionary named David first discovered this species in
Sichuan in 1869.Now, the somewhat clumsy giant panda is a symbol representing the World
