The change of plan did mean that I got to see giant pandas instead, so I can’t complain. This is the place they do research, and breed them.

  • Role: setting
  • In the article: After the TEDx event in Chengdu was postponed, the author visited giant pandas at a site he describes as a research and breeding place. He then travelled to Taiyuan the next day.
  • Why it matters: Wording matches the Research Base, the only major panda centre inside Chengdu itself.
  • Where is it?: ⚠️ inferred. Clues in the text: “I arrived in Chengdu.”; “I got to see giant pandas instead”; “This is the place they do research, and breed them.” What reference works say: The post names Chengdu and describes the site as a research and breeding place, which matches the name of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, the standard city-side panda centre. No explicit naming in the post. Chosen: Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Chengdu, Sichuan. Alternatives: Dujiangyan Panda Base; Bifengxia Panda Base (Ya’an)
