You step out of the small airport terminal in Chengdu and the air feels different: humid, green, edged with the dull call of city traffic and the sharper chitter of birds.

The Chengdu Research Base started in the late 1980s as a conservation and breeding facility and has played a leading role in captive-breeding and public education about giant pandas.
The Base focuses on breeding, research and reintroduction planning; visitors are asked to follow rules to minimize disturbance and support conservation through entry fees and donations.
