14th Panda Pavilion Upgrade Completed, ‘Pavilion of Living Fossils’ to Open to the Public

On November 22nd, Red Star News learned from the Panda Base that the 14th Pavilion of the Panda Base has been upgraded, and 'the Pavilion of Living Fossils' will be open to the public tomorrow.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding's 14th Pavilion was built in 1988, and was one of the earliest buildings constructed at the Panda Base. Over the years, the Panda Base has made many improvements and refinements to the pavilion. This latest upgrade completely changed the original building structure: the indoor playground has been expanded and connected, a new indoor pavilion has been added, and a previously inaccessible outdoor activity area has been opened for viewing, and a new viewing entrance has been designed.

Currently, the walls of the viewing corridor are covered with a variety of diverse introducing giant pandas' diets, feces, physiological structure, growth process, and wild distribution, showcasing breeding materials and specimens, and a book written in the voice of a giant panda, titled 'My Growth Diary,' which is warm and friendly, leading visitors to gain a more in-depth understanding of all aspects of giant pandas.

Bamboo racks, a common sight in the Panda Base, are made of wood and are the best places for giant pandas to climb, rest, eat, and play. Before, the 14th Pavilion's bamboo racks were large and concentrated, but now the bamboo racks in the activity area are scattered and arranged, seemingly wild in appearance, but are carefully designed. The activity area also includes the Panda Base's frequently used Mist Forest System, which creates a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere while also increasing air humidity, which is both beautiful and functional.
