Because of earthquake disaster in 2008, the living condition for giant pandas in Wolong was destroyed. Sichuan Forestry Administration made a decision to let pandas live in other areas. Last November, Xiuning successfully built an ecological park for giant pandas by cooperating with China Giant Panda Research Center. “With investing 8 million RMB, the ecological park occupies over 66,700 square meters.” said Deng Haifang, chief engineer of the ecological park. There are five new houses for pandas and each one is equipped with the high power air-conditioner. The courtyard in the houses takes up an area of several hundred square meters. Apart from trees and lawns, there also is an aisle specially designed based on the walking habit of giant pandas.
