For the best TIME in a day and best MONTHS in a year to see pandas: Giant Pandas give us an impression as lovely and cute for their unique appealing markings, but also a lazy bone due to they spend half of their time to sleep in a day.  Nobody want to go so far away to Chengdu but just see some sleeping pandas, right?So better to notice their time schedule: when are they eating and active, when are they sleeping!

In the breeding center, panda's first feeding time starts at 9:00am~9:30am, they keep eating untill 11:00am, then fall into sleep untill the second feeding time, 2:30pm~3:00pm.

So the best time to set off  from Chengdu downtown hotel is 8:00am~8:30am, around half hour drive to there just catch up their first feeding time. Or set off after lunch to be there at 3:00pm to see the awake pandas.
