Bifeng Gorge Scenic Area is located in Bifeng Gorge Town, Yucheng District, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, and spans an area of 20 square kilometers.
The scenic area consists of three main components: the Bifeng Gorge Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, a wildlife park, and an ecological gorge area. The wildlife park, which covers a planned area of 10,000 mu (approximately 667 hectares), is divided into a drive-through zone for predatory animals and a walking zone for gentle, non-predatory species; it holds the distinction of being the first wildlife park in Southwest China and the first "ecological-style" wildlife park in the country. The ecological gorge area comprises two parallel gorges. The China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s Bifeng Gorge Base—which spans over 1,000 mu (approximately 67 hectares) and is home to more than 40 giant pandas—includes facilities such as a breeding center, a "kindergarten" for panda cubs, a veterinary hospital, and a scientific research institute, housing over 20 laboratories and specialized sites. Geologically, Bifeng Gorge is a canyon-type natural scenic area characterized by sandstone, conglomerate, and mudstone formations. The region features a subtropical humid monsoon climate and boasts a forest coverage rate of over 95%, earning it the reputation as the "Lungs of the Land of Abundance" (Tianfu).
On January 7, 2020, Bifeng Gorge Scenic Area was designated as a National 5A-level Tourist Attraction by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China—the 13th such site in Sichuan Province and the first in Ya'an City. On May 8, 2023, the scenic area was recognized by the National Technical Committee for Tourism Standardization as one of the second batch of "National-level Model Units for Civilized Tourism."
