The Mianyang China Giant Panda Garden in Sichuan Province celebrated its grand opening on December 21, 2025, marking a milestone in wildlife conservation and eco-tourism. The facility, designed to blend research, education, and public engagement, welcomed its first visitors yesterday, offering an immersive look at 20 giant pandas acclimating to their expansive new habitats.
Spanning five functional zones with 54 purpose-built enclosures, the park prioritizes species preservation while fostering global awareness. Officials emphasized its role in advancing cross-border collaboration on biodiversity, particularly as climate challenges intensify. For travelers, the garden provides rare opportunities to observe pandas in environments mimicking their natural ecosystems.
With Sichuan already home to over 80% of the world’s wild giant pandas, this project reinforces the Chinese mainland’s leadership in endangered species protection. Analysts note its potential to boost regional tourism and sustainable development initiatives across Asia.
