About Bifengxia
The gorge paths pass beneath steep rock walls and through a setting of streams and waterfalls; the rebuilt Qingyun Elevator makes the height difference particularly apparent. Panda viewing takes place in designated public areas, including the nursery section when open. Keep these experiences distinct from the wider resort’s wildlife zoo, and select tickets and internal transport for the parts you intend to visit.
What to look for
- Forested gorge walls, streams and waterfalls define the walking landscape.
- The panda visitor areas and Qingyun viewing elevator offer two different perspectives on the site.
