Will you really not see pandas in Panda Valley in the afternoon?

🐼 It's the peak summer tourist season, and tickets to Panda Valley are becoming scarce! If you didn't get a ticket for the morning, and are considering changing your departure date, you might wonder if the pandas will be asleep in the afternoon and you won't see them! ✅ If you have such doubts, please save this note for your answer ——— ❗️First of all, pandas don't only come out in the morning; it depends on the weather! Because pandas are afraid of heat, they will stay indoors with air conditioning when it's hot and won't be active outside! So, you can check the weather before you go. If it's too hot, it's better to go in the morning. If it's not hot, the experience will be better in the afternoon. Secondly, like humans, pandas also need to eat! Panda Valley feeds the pandas twice a day! ⏰ The feeding times are at 9:30 in the morning and 13:30 in the afternoon! You can see active pandas at these times! ——— 🙋 Also, if your schedule for the day includes visiting Panda Valley and then watching the Blue Tears at night, it's definitely better to go to Panda Valley in the morning! Because Dujiangyan Scenic Area and the Blue Tears are not far apart! Going to Panda Valley first and then to Dujiangyan to see the Blue Tears will save you from detouring! But if you don't plan to see the Blue Tears at night and just want to see the pandas and visit Dujiangyan, there's not much difference between going to Panda Valley in the morning or afternoon! And if it's a major holiday, going to Dujiangyan in the morning and Panda Valley in the afternoon can help you avoid most of the crowds. ——— 📝 If you plan to visit Panda Valley in the afternoon, you can save the following time-saving and efficient route: 1️⃣ Depart from downtown Chengdu around 8 AM. It takes about an hour to drive to Dujiangyan! Enter the Dujiangyan Scenic Area from the Qin Yan Lou No. 6 entrance, which allows you to walk downhill easily. 2️⃣ After touring the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, exit from the Lidui Park exit!

There is a giant panda lying on the ground here, which makes for great photos. 4️⃣ From Yantianwo, it takes about 20-30 minutes to reach Panda Valley. You can take a nap in the car during this time! 5️⃣ Arrive at Panda Valley by 13:30 to see the pandas being fed.
