Beijing is set to become an even more captivating destination for nature lovers and tourists alike. On Wednesday, the city unveiled plans for a state-of-the-art giant panda conservation base in the Fangshan District, aiming to introduce 50 pandas to the public by 2025.
Spanning approximately 133 hectares of the picturesque Qinglong Lake Forest Park in the southwest of Beijing, the new conservation base will serve as a sanctuary for these beloved creatures. The facility is designed not only to provide a safe habitat for the pandas but also to educate visitors about conservation efforts and the importance of biodiversity.
Scheduled to open its doors in 2025, the base is expected to become a major landmark in Beijing's cultural tourism landscape. It will offer an immersive experience for tourists, blending wildlife conservation with the city's rich cultural heritage, thereby enhancing Beijing's appeal as a top travel destination.
