Visit Giant Pandas in Chengdu with Adventure World

China is experiencing a baby boom of the panda variety, and they and conservationists around the world, couldn’t be happier.

With the birth this week of healthy twin giant panda cubs taking the number of giant pandas born in captivity up to 19 for the year – the highest on record – lovers of the rare animals are in celebration mode.

And for good reason. With just 1,600 of the species left in the wild, the spike in the number of captive births looks promising for the endangered species.

If you’re gagging to grab a glimpse of the cute, cuddly, yet sadly endangered giant pandas for yourself, then a visit to the fascinating Panda Breeding Centre in Chengdu, China is a must.
