On the day, in order to let visitors have a happy time with the giant pandas, the Panda Base held a reopening ceremony and activities to welcome visitors, ensuring safety.
To ensure the safety after the reopening, the park implemented a ‘one-person-one-certificate-one-ticket’ system, limiting the number of visitors entering the park daily, and continued to close the Giant Panda Magic Theater. The park’s opening hours are from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, with ticket scanning and verification stopping at 4:00 pm. Visitors can purchase tickets online, scan codes, or buy physical tickets to enter the park.

The Panda Base immediately stored a large quantity of bamboo, and experts formulated an emergency bamboo feeding plan for the giant pandas. Keepers adopted a no-holiday-no-shift-work system to ensure the health of animals and personnel, enabling normal operations of feeding, raising, environmental enrichment, behavior training, disease control and treatment.
