Giant Panda Breeding
Research Base. The base is located on Futoushan
Mountain in the northern suburbs of the city. The Giant
Panda Museum is located at the base, and it is the
world�s only museum that focuses entirely on the
critically endangered giant panda. The
museum�s
 collection includes displays of panda habitat
and of pictures of pandas, and there are many scientific
displays that give visitors a comprehensive education on
their characteristics, habitat and distribution in the
wild, and China�s conservation and breeding efforts.
The Giant Panda Museum houses giant panda specimens,
fossils and dissected pandas. Specimens of panda food is
displayed, and the museum also houses many large
true-to-life exhibits of giant pandas in their natural
environment in ancient times and in their present
endangered wild habitats in Qin Ling, Liangshan
Mountain, Xiang Ling, Min Shan and Qiulai Mountain.
These true-to-life exhibits cover an area of about 300
square meters. The museum educates visitors on their
evolutionary history, their ancient and present
distribution in the wild, and their current situation as
an endangered species, as well as on the present purpose
and focus of scientific research. You will see that the
Chinese government is making a concerted effort both to
