Reserve a Panda Tower Slot at Chengdu Panda Base

Panda Tower is free, but it is not walk-in: reserve a timed visit and expect capacity controls.

Panda Tower inside Chengdu Panda Base has a separate online reservation requirement despite being free to visit. This guide helps visitors secure a slot and avoid arriving after the 16:30 entry cutoff.

A clear next step

  1. Make an online Panda Tower reservation before your visit; each visitor receives one code, although one mobile number can reserve for multiple people.
  2. Plan to enter between 09:00 and 16:30, because Panda Tower closes at 17:00 and stops admitting visitors at 16:30.
  3. If the system pauses entry because capacity has reached 200 people, wait in the designated waiting area and follow staff instructions.
