With its plump body, rounded head, and symbolic oval-shaped black fur circling its eyes, the giant panda has become a world-favorite Chinese "national treasure" and Sichuan's "cultural image," attracting global attention.

In China, Sichuan is the largest contiguous habitat of the giant panda in the world, a veritable panda paradise.

The unique geological features and excellent ecological network of the Minshan, Qionglaishan, Liangshan, Daxiangling, Xiaoxiangling, and Qinling mountains have created a natural, comfortable, and beautiful habitat for the giant panda. More than 80 percent of the world's wild and captive-bred giant pandas live in Sichuan.
