    Rich play content: The scenic spot is composed of three parts: the giant panda base, the safari park and the ecological canyon scenic spot. You can see the giant panda in the sloppy state, and you can experience the fun of close contact with wildlife. You can also enjoy the natural landscape such as the canyon waterfall. - Beautiful ecological environment: forest coverage rate of more than 95%, fresh air, high negative oxygen ion content, has the reputation of "the lungs of heaven", is a great place for leisure vacation, summer and cool. - Good animal viewing experience: each panda in the giant panda base is very wide, visitors can see them live close to nature; The wildlife park adopts a free-range model, and the animals live more comfortably, and visitors can observe the natural behavior of the animals more accurately. - The transportation is relatively convenient: about 2 hours from Chengdu by car, you can also take the train to Ya'an Station and take a taxi. For tourists in the surrounding cities, the day trip time is more controllable. Disadvantages - Time tension: The scenic area is large, and the distance between the attractions is far. If you want to finish the main attractions within a day, the time will be tight, the itinerary will be more compact, and the play process will be more rushed. - Limited dining options: There are fewer types of food to choose from in the scenic area, and the quality and taste need to be improved. The price is relatively high. It is recommended that tourists bring some dry food and water. - Some projects experience poor: such as the wild animal feeding project in the safari park, due to the fast feeding speed, tourists may not have time to fully experience, the feeding is over, the experience is not very good. - Parking fees are higher: parking fees are more expensive, which increases the cost of travel for self-driving tourists. Play suggestions - plan routes in advance: plan the routes in advance according to your interests and time, and arrange the time of each attraction reasonably. - Staggered travel: try to avoid peak travel periods such as weekends and holidays, choose weekdays to get a better experience. - Pay attention to weather changes: Bifengxia has a lot of rainy seasons, pay attention to check the weather forecast before traveling, bring rain gear and non-slip shoes.

    I had a great time. I came on weekdays. At around 3 pm, there were no people. The problem was that it was not enough to play for 3 hours. The next day we came to play other projects. In fact, it should be more convenient to live in the hotel there. Come back next time! It is recommended to play all day. There are ropeways, jungle crossings, rafting. Jungle crossing has to be said to be really good, the children are very happy, the price I think can also, the children 30, the children 40, adults have not experienced. There are many cute monkeys on the road, but they are very fierce, be careful. Driving slowly, the monkey will jump to the car, fun. The scenery is super beautiful. The staff is very warm and the service is thoughtful.

    Whether or not to visit the Snake Valley at Bifengxia Wildlife Park is worthwhile depends on personal interest. Here are some factors to consider: - Unique Observational Experience: Snake Valley is home to various snake species. Visitors can see cobras coiled among the bushes after a large meal, allowing for close observation of snake behavior and habits. This is a rare experience for reptile enthusiasts. - Educational Value: Bifengxia Wildlife Park emphasizes educational value. Explanatory signs are placed along the trails, and Snake Valley is no exception. Visitors can learn about the physiological characteristics, distribution, and habits of snakes, broadening their knowledge. This is especially beneficial for teenagers, serving as a great science lesson. - Seamless Tour: Snake Valley is part of the docile animal walking tour area. Visitors will naturally pass through Snake Valley while exploring attractions such as Monkey Valley and the Bird Paradise, without adding much to their itinerary. This allows for a convenient one-stop experience of various animal observations.

    Overall, it's a good place. It's not the best time to see the autumn leaves yet, but the air is really fresh. You need to take a 30-minute sightseeing bus ride to reach the natural bridge, and the waterfall is beautiful.
